I have been house/dog sitting for 3 years for someone I used to clean for. She usually leaves me with her 3 dogs for a 4 day weekend (next week I am going for a week and now she also has a cat) she is always satisfied with how I take care of her animals! I feed them, keep their water filled, and play with them. I let them out as often as they need to go! Usually she picks me up from my apartment and takes me to her house, and she provides food. I wouldn't expect food to be provided for house sitting but I do most likely need a ride to your home. She also lets my husband and daughter stay with me there. Depending on the amount of time I'd stay with you I would need to bring my daughter with me because I am a stay at home mom.
