What is house sitting?

Simply put, house sitting is the practice whereby a home owner, leaving their house for a period of time, entrusts it to one or more "house sitters", who by a mutual agreement are entitled to live there rent-free in exchange for assuming responsibilities such as taking care of the homeowner's pets, performing general maintenance etc.

A transparant and friendly structure for human interaction ( Sitter)

I've been house and pet sitting for 4 years now using the MindmyHouse site for European locations. The MMH site is easy to navigate and offers all sorts of sittings. Sitters and owners can contact eachother, come to an agreement and when all goes well everybody is happy. It's a matter of trust and based on being reliable from both sides. So MMH is not responsible for the outcome and that should not be expected from them. They bring people together and are very well organized. I have no complaints whatsoever and recommend them to anyone who likes to live temporarily at other places and take care of animals in a respectful way, as sincere caretakers. I consider myself being part of a free exchange movement and have created a network of interesting people I otherwise never would have met (and all those sweet animals I lived with). I only regret I can't do as many sittings as I would like to, being a single 60+ woman without own vehicle, while many owners live in remote places. But for couples who can move around freely options are numerous. What I appreciate a lot of MMH is that they are not a commercial business chasing profit but a family who throughout the years have created organically a transparant and friendly structure for human interaction so to speak at low costs. Anyone can join easily!
