What's House Minding All about?

We've all been in the situation where we're planned the holiday but are reluctant to leave the house unatended. We live with that little niggle hoping that our prized posetions will be ok for the time that we're away.

Houseminding simply evolved from getting friend and family to stay over into getting fellow travellers to care for your place. A sort of house swap situation. You get to go on your break and someone gets a break by staying in a local setting instead of a hotel.

There are some huge advantages when house minding from both sides and a few pitfalls so lets look at the advantages and then dispell the myths.

Security.

No one likes to think that there home could be broken into while they're away enjoying themselves. The mere thought of leaving the newspaper in the mailbox and the garbage bin at the gate are a dead giveaway that nobodys home.

With House Minding (aslo known as Housesitting) all the household chores are maintained. Your as an owner get to set down what it is that you want done while your'e away from home. You get to come home and the lawns and gardens are maintained and thehouse id clean and tidy, just like you left it.
