House-Sitting

 
It may have started with a few informal arrangements between friends, but the internet has made house-sitting a growth industry,  
 
You may be interested as a house owner who is going away and wants your house to be occupied and maybe the garden to be watered occasionally.   On the other hand you may be planning a lengthy travel itinerary and would welcome some free accommodation as you travel around in exchange for occupying and keeping an eye on someone else’s property.
 
If there is a snag, they say it is normally with the pets.   The internet sites which organize house swaps will advise you on how to screen prospective house sitters, but how your pet hampster or anaconda will take to the tenants may be more difficult to check.
