How much to pay a house sitter?

When deciding how much to pay your house sitter, you should consider the number of bedrooms they need to maintain while house sitting, in addition to their level of expertise. For example, if your house sitter must clean every room in a five-bedroom house, you will likely have to compensate them with higher wages than one who is house sitting a two-bedroom apartment. The duration of the house sitting job might also come into consideration if it's longer than a week—an extra fee for additional tasks may be added for longer house sits. Furthermore, if the house sitter has certifications or specialized skills such as pet care or gardening that could be helpful for the job, discuss this during negotiations for wage increases. Ultimately, settle on an amount that you both find agreeable and keep track of any payments exchanged so there are no misunderstandings later on down the line.

What does a house sitter do?

A house sitter is an individual entrusted to take care of the house while the owner is away. They handle tasks such as keeping the house clean, collecting mail, taking out the trash and monitoring security systems. Other house sitters may even do small handyperson jobs, like addressing minor repairs or lawn care. A house sitter also keeps a watchful eye on pets, if they are included in their role. House sitting can provide peace of mind to homeowners who are away from home for extended periods of time, knowing their property and possessions are being well taken care of.

Who needs a house sitter?

House sitters can be invaluable for someone who is planning on travelling away from home for an extended period of time, needs to take a break from their house for some rest and relaxation, or is hosting visitors in their house. They are a great choice for those who want to make sure their house is kept safe and secure while they are away, and even if something happens, house sitters will be able to assess the situation and act quickly depending on the homeowner's instructions. Experienced house sitters understand the work required - things like looking after pets, plants, lawn care, trash collection etc. - to ensure the house is maintained up to the homeowner's standards. If you're travelling away from home or need a break in your own house, you might benefit from hiring a reliable house sitter.
