SHORT-TERM RENTAL HELP, WHEN YOU NEED IT.
Your cleaner canceled. You need a backup.
HOSTR is building a simpler way for short-term rental hosts to find local cleaners, handymen, and other service pros when their usual person can't make it.
Last-minute problem or something you planned ahead—we want finding help to be the easy part.
Launching first in Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina.

WHEN THE FIRST CALL DOESN'T WORK OUT
Things happen. HOSTR is for what happens next.
Your regular cleaner is great—until they're sick. Your handyman is reliable—until he's already booked. HOSTR is building one place where short-term rental hosts can find local help without starting over every time something goes wrong.
02
Something broke before check-in?
Look for someone nearby who handles the kind of work you need.
03
Your usual handyman is booked?
Find backup without restarting the search from zero.
04
Found somebody great?
Save them so they are easier to find for the next job.
The pilot will begin with cleaning, maintenance, handyman work, property checks, and other common short-term rental needs.
FOR HOSTS & PROPERTY MANAGERS
You handle the guests. We'll make finding backup easier.
A short-term rental has a lot of moving parts, and sooner or later somebody cancels. HOSTR is being built so hosts have somewhere else to turn when the first call doesn't work out.
- Cleaning and turnover backup
- Repairs, maintenance, and restocking
- Property checks before the next stay
FOR LOCAL SERVICE PROS
Good at what you do? We want hosts to find you.
HOSTR is also being built for cleaners, handymen, maintenance professionals, and other local service providers. See short-term rental jobs that fit what you do and decide which ones work for your schedule.
- More local work
- Less time hunting for it
- Build relationships with hosts who may need you again

A BETTER BACKUP PLAN
Find help. Keep the good ones.
