Find my home with roommatesWe can help if...
You're relocating for work
You landed a new role in Lima, a relocation, or a mid-term contract, and don't want to rely on a hotel or Airbnb for the whole stay.
You're a digital nomad
You work remotely and picked Peru as your base for a few months. You want stable housing with clear terms, not short-stay rates and turnover.
You're here for exchange or grad school
You have a semester abroad ahead of you and would rather live in a home with local roommates than in a generic student residence.
You value living together
You're not just after a bed in a room: you want a shared home, with people to talk to when you get back from work or class.
It's not just "a roommate", it's the roommates model
At Dommies we don't randomly pair people up, we build households: our homes are set up for the roommates model, with room to live alongside several flatmates at once, locals included. It's the right fit if you value real cohabitation, not just splitting costs.
- Real immersion: you practice Spanish every day, not just in class, and understand the culture from the inside: food, customs, local humor.
- Your roommates show you around from day one: they already know how to get around the city, which neighborhoods fit you, how basic paperwork works, and what to watch out for when you arrive.
- Built to stay, not to pass through: unlike an Airbnb or a hostel, Dommies is built for living together for 3+ months: matched by compatibility in habits and lifestyle, not just price and dates.
Here's how we help you get settled
- We handle the whole rental process before you arrive in Peru. You search, chat with your future roommates, and close your place from your home country.
- Using Dommies to find your home is free.
- You prioritize local roommates in your search, instead of a random match.
- Identity verification happens before any profile shows up as an available match.
Frequently asked questions from foreigners
Does Dommies work if I am moving to Peru for 3+ months for work or study?
Yes. Dommies is built for medium and long-term stays, not short tourist trips. It's the right fit once you've decided to live in Peru for a semester, a year, or indefinitely, and you'd rather do it in a home with local roommates than in an Airbnb.
Can I close my apartment with roommates before I arrive in Peru?
Yes. You can search, chat with your future roommates, and close your place from your home country. That way you land in Lima with housing already sorted, instead of spending your first days searching blind.
Can I specifically choose Peruvian roommates instead of other foreigners?
Yes. When you set up your search profile you can prioritize living with local roommates. Many expats do this on purpose: to practice Spanish, understand the culture from the inside, and have people who help them navigate daily life (paperwork, neighborhoods, customs).
How does Dommies verify roommates before matching me?
Profiles go through an identity verification step before they show up as an available match, and the compatibility algorithm (habits, schedules, lifestyle) reduces the odds of ending up in an incompatible home in a country you're still getting to know.
How much does it cost to use Dommies to find a place with roommates?
Nothing. Using Dommies to search for and find your home with roommates is free.
