House sitting
 
Hey I wondering if anyone knows anything about this, I hear that you look after people's house and don't pay anything for being there, which sounds good to me! Can this be done a long term thing? I though of this riding back home tonight!

Generally they tend to offer this to retired people as most homeowners would be reluctant to hand the keys to their house to anyone under 30. Sometimes the house sitting also covers pets etc...

Long and short term periods are offered from 1 week to 6 months. HTH

He is a cop, so in theory anyway, should be trustworthy. :)

Yes true but BT is still under 30 regardless of his profession. Sometimes age is what people look at when you're asking them to look after house/valuables pets etc..

A younger person is more likely to have mates round and a party than someone in their late 60's?

I reckon we could start a house sitting service through the Org for each other? and then no more cattery/Kennel fees? mine are almost £120/week for one dog plus cat
