There are some house sits where the sitter looks after the house and pets in exchange for free accommodation and no money changes hands. Many house sitters are happy to house sit for free as they appreciate the savings in accommodation costs. One of the many benefits of house siting is house sitters have the ability to go from house sit to house sit living rent-free. There are however, sitters who house sit for a living and they may ask for payment in return for their professional service. It should be clear on the house sitter’s profile what they charge, however the fee will depend on a number of things including how much work is involved in the house sit and how many pets require care etc. The amount a professional house sitter can charge can vary from between $10 - $100+ per day.
