surviving the recession

If you are personable, live in the UK and have good references, you can save on home costs by housesitting. Essentially you stay in someone else’s house when they are away and look after it for them. Most of the time you are free to come and go as you please, but you will have to ensure the place is kept clean and comply with other parts of the house-sitting agreement. Many people (but not all) who need house-sitting services have pets that they can’t take abroad with them and who need looking after.

One firm that offers house-sitting services is Homesitters.co.uk. They will pay you a token amount to house sit for them, and will provide a food allowance (about £7 per day). 

If you fancy a spot of house-sitting to supplement your income, this could be for you.
