house sitting
Minding someone's place
House sitting is staying in someone's home while they're away, typically caring for pets, plants, or the property itself.
The arrangement benefits both parties—the homeowner gets security and pet care, the sitter gets free accommodation: We're house sitting for my sister while she's in Europe.
