housesat

Minded the place

Housesat is the past tense of housesit—to stay in someone's home while they're away, typically caring for pets, plants, or the property itself: She housesat for her neighbors while they were in Europe.

The arrangement benefits both parties: the homeowner gets security and pet care, the housesitter gets free lodging.
