By looking after your neighbour’s house when they are away, you’ll be helping to minimise the risk that they are burgled while away and also avoid them needing to hire a sitter to care for any pets or houseplants while they are away.

Cost-benefit 

This cost-benefit is based on saving the average cost of a household burglary in the UK by discouraging a burglary, plus the saving of the average cost of a house sitter for a week.
