Frequently Asked Questions
Who?
At least three college students of the same gender.
There is no max capacity of the number of staffers you can host.
Where can they sleep?
Each staffer will sleep in their own bed, no matter the mattress size.
We will be traveling with plenty of air mattresses so just let us know if you’ll be needing any. We can also provide additional bedding for air mattresses if needed.
We ask they not stay in common areas or share a bedroom with a member of your family.
We also ask that our staff have their own private bathroom to use while they are staying with you.
What about food?
Our host homes provide breakfast each morning. We get up early so grab and go items are great!
Our staffers will also be home for dinner 3 nights during the week - Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We’ll let you know about two weeks out of any changes to this!
What to do with staffers during the week?
We love just getting to be a part of your family for the week! One of the sweetest parts about staying in host homes is getting to join a family for the week, so whatever your week may look like, we can’t wait to be a part of it!
How will my staffers get around?
We travel from city to city with a fleet of vehicles. Staffers staying at your home will either get picked up and dropped off or have a vehicle at your home!
When will I hear from Pine Cove staff?
Three weeks before our staff arrives you will receive an email from our Director of Details with some initial information.
Two weeks out you will receive a phone call from them where they’ll ask about some details and you’ll be be able to ask any questions you have .
Anything else I need to know?
Our staff spends the weekend traveling from city to city so their only opportunity to do laundry is during the week. They would be so grateful if your washer and dryer were available to them!
We provide sheets for our air mattresses. Outside of this, staff will not have their own sheets, blankets, pillows, or towels.
