What is House Sitting?
House sitting is where you live in a person's home for an agreed period of time while they are away. In return you take care of their property and do any household jobs needed such as pet care, garden maintenance, forwarding mail etc. House sitting jobs take place all over the United Kingdom and can be either a short term stay of a weekend or up to a year or longer.
