Do you pay a house sitter? If so how much? If no cash payment, do you compensate them in other manners such as a lovely gift or something like that?

If they're friends, and just checking in on the house, you bring them back something from your trip or from the duty free shop (if you're not going somewhere fun). If they're staying at the house, you should leave money for food or emergency expenses.
