Housesitting for Additional Income

Since I was in college, I have been house sitting for people to earn extra money. Currently, I am taking care of a house for 2 1/2 weeks. I confess that it makes me go a bit stir crazy because I'm out of my routine. I rely more on eating out and I use a bit more gas because of the distance to work. The benefit? I get to pay off another bill and I don't have to pay to do my laundry.
