Housesitting?

I have read in a novel that a young woman did housesitting as a job. Is there real demand to that in the UK? I am a teacher of English, from a EU country, and during the summer holidays I would enjoy spending time in Britain like that, feeding the cats, etc.

Answers:
People do have a need for it in the UK, however they generally get people by word of mouth from people they know as they need to trust the sitter completely.

Other answers:
People have to trust you, so how will you establish that?
Usually you can only live free for doing that, not usually also get paid. But often free rent. But you have to hustle the jobs.

advertise that you are wanting a job like that...then check it out and make a decision
I would see if you get hired by a housesitting company since you don't know anyone there.
