Housesitting is when someone takes care of another person’s house while they are away, like on a trip or vacation. The housesitter might do things like:

• Feed pets like dogs, cats, or fish.
• Water plants to keep them healthy.
• Bring in the mail so it doesn’t pile up.
• Make the house look lived-in by turning on lights or opening curtains.

It’s like being a helper to make sure everything is okay at someone’s home while they are gone.

It’s a responsible and kind thing to do!
