Housecarers is a non-commecial site and the majority of house sits are non paid. There are many retired people and travellers who are more than happy with the rent free accommodation as the reward. House sitting therefor cannot be considered a job, as the reward is free rental accomodation.
However in special circumstances house sitting fees can be negotiated for the house sit. If there are special time consuming tasks to be performed or the house sit is for a short period a fee could be justified.
This type of house sit borders on property caretaking. Caretaking normally comes with a salary. Click here to register as a caretaker.
You will also be competing against house sitters who are prepared to accept rent free accommodation as their only reward. Included in this category are retired people who just want to experience different parts of the country. They are prepared to housesit without receiving remuneration.
Please check on the housesitting jobs available by clicking on the search link at the top of this page. However please do not have the expectation that the homeownes will be prepared to pay a housesitting fee.
