  Housesitting Guide - getting ahead as a housesitter
The housesitter(s) may be an individual, couple or family - you choose according to your preference.
As the housesitter is receiving the benefit of rent free accomodation (often helping them achieve their financial goals) most are prepared to be flexible to meet all your requirements.
If the housesitter was to be caring for your house for 12 months or more it is reasonable that they should also take on the longer term bills such as council rates.

 So You Want to be a Housesitter?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Some housesitters are looking for a chance to practice their foreign language skills or see a bit of the world on a tight budget.
Generally the housesitter is required to be in the property most evenings and nights (although, like everything, this may be negotiable), giving the property its usual occupied appearance to deter burglars, squatters and vandals.
Housesitters fund all their own day-to-day requirements while on assignment and generally agrees to replace everything of the homeowner's that they consume.

 Housesitter
The teaming of Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn would seem to have been sure-fire casting, but Housesitter's writing is never strong enough to sustain it and the film's hit-and-miss quality has more misses than hits.
Housesitter is a great comedy for a night in with the family.
Housesitter has been a favorite of mine for years.

The digital transfer in the film's original 1.85:1 widescreen ratio (enhanced at 16:9 for widescreen televisions) is sharp and vivid, with nice definition and color.

 Epinions.com - Trip Planning: What happens to what you're leaving at home?
Most of the time, the best housesitters are young adults responsible enough to look after your home, but poor enough to be interested in earning the fee.
Once you have found your housesitter, and established that he or she will be taking care of your abode while you are gone, there are a few more things you need to do.
Do understand that your housesitter will continue to live their life-go to work, spend time with friends-but they will also water your yard, play with your pets, and keep your house looking lived-in and safe from possible burglary or vandalism.

 How to Prepare for a Housesitter - Organization
A housesitter, whether a friend or neighbor or a professional, can take care of regular maintenance, keep your home secure, and generally offer peace of mind while you're gone.
If the housesitter will be staying at your home while you're away, can he or she have the run of the house, or are there certain rooms, appliances, and foods that are off-limits?
Once you have a list of your housesitter's responsibilities, collect any information he or she will need in order to take care of them.

 Use a housesitter
Professional housesitters can be very expensive, so they're really only an option if you're going away for a very short time (weeks, not months) and/or are very rich.
Professional housesitters are managed by their agency, meaning no guests without your permission, keeping the place clean etc
It is possible to find a housesitter who won't charge, but they don't offer the same security as a professional sitter (even if you already know them).

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Housesitter | Deseret Morning News Web edition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
`'Housesitter" is something of a comic "Fatal Attraction," with Goldie Hawn playing a compulsive liar who disrupts Steve Martin's stable, orderly life, driving him crazy in the process.
Martin plays a Boston architect who has put all of his money into a house he built himself in a small New England berg, Dobbs Mill, which is also his hometown.
"Housesitter" is adult material, rated PG for profanity, vulgarity, sex and partial nudity.

 DVD.net : Housesitter - DVD Review
But it is important to remember that this is a romantic comedy, and dialogue is the most important aspect.
In that respect, Housesitter's soundtrack does the job, with clarity of speech at levels that will not have you constantly reaching for the remote.
Included on the disc is what I consider to be the "standard package" of extras: a theatrical trailer, presented in the same aspect ratio as the film itself; cast and crew biographies of the director and principle cast, along with selected filmographies; and finally, a few pages of production notes.

 Movie Reviews: Housesitter
Housesitter is an awful rewrite of the charming 1941 movie It Started with Eve.
In fact, the whole plot of the original has been so cheapened that it's hard to accept any of the relationships between characters, or the final outcome.
The two movies share a cast of characters in similar roles, and even humorous scenes like tripping over a living-room chair, but the wholesome quality of the original is totally lost in Housesitter.

 'Housesitter'
Housesitter" wants to please everyone a little, but nobody a lot.
He keeps prodding with the same, slow tentativeness, as if she's a dashboard.
But in "Housesitter," the antics are too concerned with zany-plot development, and sitcomish observations about truth and lies, to stop for moments as amusing as this.

I wish more projects were assembled for this tag-team of born screwball comedy geniuses, because "Housesitter" offers a great display of how well Martin and Hawn work together onscreen.
Their senses of timing are tremendous and both have a gift for physical comedy and wringing the best out of every line of dialogue.

 GOLDIE HAWN: CRISSCROSS, DEATH BECOMES HER, HOUSESITTER
Martin stars as Newton, an architect who, at the film's beginning, has just built a house for his girlfriend Becky (Dana Delaney), and takes her there to propose to him.
The actors might have saved all of this, but Hawn is too old to be playing the free spirit here, and Martin, again, isn't really funny when he's forced to rely on schtick (his turn as the crazed dentist in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS notwithstanding).
HOUSESITTER is more like something you'd leave behind from your old house.

 Housesitter (1992)
All have their merits, but I have always enjoyed the comedic talents of Steve Martin and thus I would possibly argue in favour of Housesitter as the best of the batch.
Of course, one of the reasons why I would argue against Housesitter is the presence of Goldie Hawn, who I tend to find more grating than funny.
After all, Housesitter is five years younger, it is presented on a dual layer DVD rather than a single layer DVD and it is four minutes shorter than the previously reviewed film.

A slick, smart vehicle for Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn, Housesitter offers an acceptably daffy premise and enough inventive business to sustain it through to the, not unexpected, happy ending.
Architect Martin builds a dream home for his childhood sweetheart (Dana Delaney) only to be rejected when he proposes marriage.
It's nowhere near as edgy as his early screen offerings, but it is funny in its own way and his chemistry with co-star Goldie Hawn is an added attraction.

 Overstock.com: Housesitter (DVD) : Movies
When Davis (Martin) tries to eject unwanted housesitter Gwen (Hawn) from his lovely but unoccupied house, he discovers that Gwen's romantic lies to the locals about their whirlwind courtship and wedding have captured the townsfolk's hearts and made jealous the woman who turned down Davis's marriage proposal months before.
Seeing the opportunity to win back his sweetheart, Becky, Davis agrees to let Gwen stay in the house while they pretend to be married.
"...Much of the humor in HOUSESITTER is generated by the carefully modulated performances of Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn....Martin is very good here....Hawn`s performance is the keystone of the movie, and she is wonderful..."

 VH1.com : Movies : Housesitter : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The dream pairing of Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn does not produce the comic gold, so to speak, one would hope for, but Housesitter still has its share of lukewarm pleasures.
There's something too restrained about Housesitter, especially if one considers it a screwball comedy.
Martin and Hawn's verbal gymnastics are good, but one wishes Oz would have found room for their gifts at physical comedy, which both have made something of a trademark.

 GOLDIE HAWN: CRISSCROSS, DEATH BECOMES HER, HOUSESITTER
Her film roles started as continuing that image, as with CACTUS FLOWER, which won her an Oscar, or her smash hit PRIVATE BENJAMIN, which she also produced.
However, Hawn has been best when she's tried to stretch a little, as with the woman on the run in Steven Spielberg's SUGARLAND EXPRESS, or Warren Beatty's impatient girlfriend in SHAMPOO.
All three of them required her to stretch a little, though the last film, as a film, doesn't stretch.
