We've been fortunate to have looked after three or four other houses while we're holidaying in England. But how do other people feel about their house being looked after?

Its quite an appealing idea. We've had people, though mostly servants taking care of our home when we've been away. I think its a good idea because the house gets taken care off and when you return its neat and tidy. It of course depends on who's looking after it though. It should be someone trustworthy and someone you are close to so that an empty house is not misused in any way. The house is also secure if someone's taking care of it.

As housesitters, we've always taken great care with the house we're looking after - in fact, we look after these houses better than our own! Yes, there is a sense of security in having someone staying there while you're away. And of course you need to have some knowledge of who these people are, which has been the case with us.
