Would you let someone housesit your home while you’re away?

[DizzyDesii]

I am not familiar with this concept but a lot of people on my last post mentioned doing so. I personally dont trust anyone enough to ever housesit my home. I dont even trust my fam enough to go in my room. I would not give anyone a key to my home unless they live there 24/7. If i waned my house to be looked after while i was away, that relative can drive past my house to do a slight checkup 🤣 I assume housesitting is mainly for people with pets

Yes people, im referring to friends/relatives you know. Not a stranger lmao. But even then, its still a no from me dawg 😂 Like do y'all just have people housesit because theft is common in your neighborhood or is it because you have pets? Because why else? I just want to understand ig

[libsaretards]

On a military base this is very common. Military members do not make a lot of money unless they are super high ranked. Also, we (both the member and the family) go through hardships others could not imagine. When you live on a base, you form a bond with your neighbors that is hard to form off base. Most military and their families are not looking to steal or sabotage someone. This makes housesitting very practical for those with pets. I had a neighbor once who would go on trips back home with her dad whenever he could take leave. I would spend the weekend in their house watching their dog.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh wow didn't know

[TheAfrikan]

I do not feel okay when somebody is sitting his or her ass in my house or rather my apartment in the name of housesitting. Because some people are too nousy n can end up going through ma shit , hence invading my privacy. And for the women they wouldn't resist their guts from sniffing and puffing on my clothes 😂😂 @DizzyDesii

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i would t want them in my house

[TheAfrikan]

I like that idea of hating someone messing and checking ma shut like DEA once you give them them those keys. And the first place they check is the Fridge 😈😈😈 @DizzyDesii . Which place would u hate them checking out.

[DizzyDesii]

My good in the fridge or my collection of stuff

[TheAfrikan]

Am not the only person here who loves a fridge more than a lot phewwww. So what kind of you posess lol. Not what am thinking. Mmm

[TheAfrikan]

Once again another mho I cross paths with wow thanks for finding my nasty brains useful lol @DizzyDesii

[ChrisMaster69]

I mentioned it lol.

yeah I have had people house sit, either just stop at mine for say 8 months rent free or pop round at weekends to keep things ticking over.

the awkward ones were not friends but when you had been say dating a girl for a month, then we’re going away for 3-6 months etc, Sometimes she was already living with you and you had to ask her to move out or hope she was okay for the time you were away, which meant having mates drop round now and then to check up lol.

i am likely doing some house sitting for a friend in a few months time, as he is off to Somalia for 3 months, we are dividing it up between a few of us and it’s more a case of watching his house does not get robbed.

We have warned him, that his house is fair game for partying and as a shagging palace.

[DizzyDesii]

Mehzmeh was the one who mentioned it first and then you and one or two others, so i said well dang let me look into this lol.

[lightbulb27]

yes. I've given keys to neighbors and family. I've let them use my kitchen when I'm gone. That's built up good will. I also loan tools to neighbors or help.

We are very open and sharing with my girlfriend's family. they stayed at our place while we were away.

If you don't trust them, don't do it. Have to accept the risks that others don't think like you do, and may damage things even if not intentional.

I like to build bridges where I can and I prefer that way of life than living in fear of others. Make your world...

It gets weird now with cameras everywhere. I don't do cameras so far.

[DizzyDesii]

I’d do cameras if i did but i won't do housesitting in general. And yea i wouldn't housesit for someone cause im clumsy and would break shit lol

[Jasmine-Darkfire]

Never had this come up as I live with my dad, just the two of us while I go to school. If I go away, he is still home.

If we both go somewhere, we lock it up. Turn off the water and unplug everything then leave it until we get back.

No pets to worry about, but if it was my own place and he isn't on the trip with me, he would not stay to house sit. He would check on it every few days to make sure no one had broken in and things were still fine with it.

[Junior42]

Yes but with cameras i remember going over to a friends house and he's like ima take a shower jus hang out in my room in my head I was like thanks for trusting me alone with all ur shit but u really shouldn't be leaving people alone with all ur stuff

[DizzyDesii]

Exactly i wouldn't dare. Not even with cameras

[Junior42]

But if i had to I would with cameras

[KrisPW]

We've had family house sit for us in the past. One of his brothers has roommates and will usually volunteer just to have some alone time. Like to have someone there due to a few sketchy neighbors and a dog that doesn't do well in "puppy hotel" environments.

[JoseJr]

No cap, only person I'd trust is my pops, unlike most parents he wasn't the kind of person to go through my shit... he never touched my money, never messed with nothing in my room, never really touched any of my shit unless I told him to, or he asked for permission... only thing he ever took was my phone away when I was actin like an ass as a youngin lol... well deserved Id say

[DizzyDesii]

Haha sounds good then

[Lliam]

My wife has a very trustworthy lady friend who has house sat our cats for as long as two weeks while we were on vacation. Sometimes, she would just stop by once or twice a day to feed the cats and clean their litter boxes. We also have house plants and some potted plants on our decks that need watering.

We're very lucky to have someone we trust.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea its rare

[Lliam]

It is. I certainly wouldn't give just anyone access to my house.

[Lucy68]

If i had to probably my mom or my grandma to house sit for me. I might bring my cat along depending on the trip I'm going and how long I'll be away so that'll be one less responsibility for either of them. But yeah I'll probably just let my mom or grandma house sit for me.

[DizzyDesii]

What are they housesitting tho?

[Lucy68]

When i use to live alone I had a lot of plants, mainly cactus that required a good bit of sunlight and just a little bit of water

[TheorionMage]

I have a VERY few close friends who 'pet/house sit' for me.. Even then, my firearms are secured in a keyed safe. My Craft library is HEAVILY 'warded'. "HELL to pay", LITERALLY (!) if that trust were to be betrayed! 3:)

[the_sinner]

No I won’t. That’d be unnecessary electricity usage even though I’m not the one using it. I’d turn everything off, bolt everything and just leave.

[DizzyDesii]

I agree

[jennifer_bloom]

I trust my friends to house sit bur not my cousins or neighbours, they disrespect me to my face so I do not trust them to respect my property when I’m not in the room. I trust my dads friends but not my moms friends or her family members.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn i bet

[nawtee_me]

It is not like my home is going to wander off and forget where it came from... No need to sit it...

[DizzyDesii]

Exaaaactly 😂😂😂

[nawtee_me]

You are taking note of those willing to have people house sit? It could be a cheep vacation if any live in a good vacation area... lol

[DizzyDesii]

Nah i wouldn't dare stay with strangers

[ALewis30]

No. I rather used home security to protect my place.

[DizzyDesii]

Much smarter

[Flower7]

No, I wouldn’t be comfortable with that. Even if it was someone I trusted to not steal anything, I feel like there would be a risk of them looking through my stuff. I really like privacy.

[DizzyDesii]

Exactly

[RebeccaBI2000]

I would only do it, because it is freezing right now and do not want anything ruined. When I go on vacation I am taking my animals to the animal hotel, so I know they get plenty of attention while I am gone.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn they got their own hotel

[AncientWisdom]

Yeah I let my sons house sit. In fact one is at my house in west texas living there rent and bill free to watch the property for me. I live in north Texas

[DizzyDesii]

Oh wow

[MTC29]

Using your recent sex in bed thread as a guideline, only if I had a notarized statement from that person (or persons) that they will not have sex in any bed in my house.

[DizzyDesii]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[AviatorTom]

Yes, in the past, we've had relatives or well-known neighbors house-sit for us when the entire family is away on vacation. It's a good security measure.

[DizzyDesii]

So are cameras lol

[AviatorTom]

Cameras only work if you have 24/7 access to the Internet. If you're on a cruise ship, in a transatlantic flight or in some foreign country, that's not always possible.

[DizzyDesii]

I dont want to watch them live. I Want it recorded so i can snap on their ass when i get back and watch the video

[Shark_61695]

Probably not, I don't have anything which needs keeping an eye on. If I had pets or plants I might consider it.

I'd wouldn't mind a maid on the day before I get home, get everything fresh before I arrive.

[DizzyDesii]

I have a bunch of collections and dont want them touched

[TrueConfection]

We've had house sitters before. We never had good luck with them though, even though they were people we knew and trusted.

[DizzyDesii]

What did they do wrong?

[TrueConfection]

Well... 3 times we had a pet die, the plants always die, and 1 time my house caught fire. That's the major stuff.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh heeeeck no. Never again
