Are you really looking for a House Sitter (i.e. someone who lives in your home while you are away) or are you looking for a Home Watch Service that comes in every week or two to make sure everything is OK?
We use a Home Watch Service and during each visit he turns the water back on and flushes the toilets and runs water into each of the sink traps, plus he runs our golf cart up and down the street to keep it in good working order. He has replaced light bulbs that have died, taken things off our porch, and met contractors who may need to do something on our property. He even waters our plants that are in pots on the screen lanai. He then sends me an email after each visit telling me if there are any things that I might need to address (e.g. landscapers not mowing or trimming bushes).
If you are actually looking for a Home Watch Service, I use Dean Corbett. His phone number is (352) 551-0576 and tell him "Maywood Court" recommended him.
