Many pet owners prefer to leave their pets at home in familiar surroundings, cared for by other pet lovers.

There Samuel Schoenbaum, the doyen of Shakespearean biographers, assisted him in securing access to its restricted collections. Almost wholly self-financed, Matus eked out a living by working part-time jobs, while finding accommodation as a house-sitter. In June, 1987, he received a $2,500 grant that allowed him to buy a $650 word processor and begin his writing. Shakespearean scholar Richard Dutton read his manuscript, and submitted it to Macmillan, remarking that: > It's very thorough, archival, back-to-the-grass-roots, trust-nothing, find- > the-first-sources scholarship...

Members of house sitting websites often pay an annual subscription fee to be part of a network, where they can advertise house sits, or apply for house sitting assignments. Members can use the service as many times as they like for the duration of their membership. Competition can be steep, as more people are learning about the money-saving benefits of house sitting. Having an understanding of how house-sitting platforms work and what home owners expect from a house sitter (such as background checks, written agreements, and references) enables sitters, especially new house sitters, to secure house sits in the locations they desire.
