funny house sitting stories

I remember house sitting for an elderly couple. Their house had a lot of old - fashioned furniture. One of the chairs looked like it was from the Victorian era. I sat on it to read a book and it made the loudest creaking noise. I was so scared I broke it. But later I found out it always made that noise. It was a really funny experience overall.

I heard about a person who house sat for a big mansion. The mansion had a pool. They decided to take a midnight swim. But they didn't realize there was an automatic pool cleaner that was on a timer. When it started up while they were in the pool, they thought it was some kind of monster. It took them a while to figure out what it was.

The feeling of being in someone else's space and not fully understanding the history of the place can be terrifying. There might have been a tragic event in the house in the past that you don't know about. And suddenly, you start experiencing things like cold spots or objects moving on their own. It gives you a sense that there's something not right with the place, and it can be very unsettling.

A friend of mine had a house sitting horror story. He was taking care of a large house. One day, he noticed that some of the food in the pantry was being eaten, but he was alone in the house. Then he found mouse droppings everywhere. Turns out, there was a massive mouse infestation that the homeowners hadn't told him about. He had to deal with trying to catch the mice all by himself while also taking care of the house.

Once I was house sitting for a friend. At night, I heard strange scratching noises from the attic. I was so scared but forced myself to go check. When I opened the attic door, a big rat scurried past me. It was terrifying as I'm really afraid of rats.

When babysitting a little boy, he got into his mother's makeup. He painted his face like a little monster. He thought he was so cool and growled like a monster at me when I walked in. I couldn't help but laugh.

There was this one time when I was cat sitting a very lazy cat. It would find the sunniest spot in the house and just plop down there all day. One day, it found a box near the window and squeezed itself into it. Then it fell asleep with its head hanging out. It was so cute that I took a picture and sent it to the owner.

One time when I was house sitting, I heard strange scratching noises at night. It was coming from the attic. I was too scared to go check. In the morning, I found some marks on the attic door as if something was trying to get out. Another time, the lights in the house started flickering for no reason, and then the TV turned on by itself showing static. It was really creepy.

For me, the scariest part is when you hear unexplained noises. Like in the middle of the night, you hear footsteps or knocking, and you know you're alone in the house. It gives you this feeling of being watched and makes your heart race.

One story I heard was about a babysitter who was trying to feed a baby. The baby made a mess with the food, smearing it all over his face and then tried to feed the babysitter with the same spoon. It was really funny.
