House sitting is a good job

Kind of... It is a seldom unknown fact that is not always expressed to the sitting individual, that house sitting is plant and animal sitting at the same time. now failure to be alerted to this fact can be very distressing to you the sitter and to the well rested individuals upon their return. Their poor bonsai tree's cactus's, and cat...

it is sad that we live in a world where houses need sitting, i mean come on where is it going to go?!? Plus you get their food heat cloths (OK maybe not that). so before i sign up i have just a few questions.

QUESTIONS:
  1. how do you treat the neighbors? I mean lets say that they are a feudin? are you required to keep it up? do you act kind? i feel they should fill you in.
  2. lets say Mr. fluffy, gets killed by say, a knife (awful tragedy) do you call the family on vacation? do you wait? I'm thinking wait, why spoil a vacation... i mean he's already gone.
  3. do I need to keep your standard of cleanness or mine? i mean really, most people who want you to baby sit their house are gonna be clean freaks, so i can't not do dishes, rough!
  4. i don't have to buy food right? i mean seriously, its up for grabs right?
  5. If something breaks am i liable? and for what, lets say glass? i say no... ceiling fan gets a sock stuck in it and burns out? i say no. blender melt in the oven? tough one
  6. Can i turn on every electric device in the house? you should see that power meter thing spin..
thats a starter....
