[QUOTE="AAOK, post: 169345, member: 861"] Kerry, I think it's a good idea. I am in need of such a service right now. I have one good neighbor who will look out for problems, but they are too old to do anything other than call me. I wouldn't trust any of my other neighbors with 2 cents. I say if you treat it as a real business, you will have a market. By that I mean you get a state and federal ID. You get bonded and insured. You have a genuine business plan and capital to market your services. I would think you would charge by the amount of time involved, and what types of work you would be responsible to get done. Housesitting has become a huge business. I would think that many farm families would want you to house sit as well as tend to the chores. I could see this kind of business growing into one that would require you to become a manager and hire your own employees. [/QUOTE]
