housesitters
Temporary dwelling guardians
Housesitters are people who stay in someone's home while the owners are away, typically caring for the property, pets, or plants.
The arrangement benefits both parties: homeowners get security and maintenance while traveling, and housesitters often receive free accommodation.
We found housesitters through a website so someone would water the garden and feed the cats.
Professional housesitters may charge for their services, though many arrangements are informal exchanges among friends or through online matching services.
