We pay our cat sitter $20 a day for hanging out and feeding the cats twice a day without staying at our place. I have a colleague that house sits while she pet sits and she only charges $25 a day.
Most people that are willing to stay at your home and house sit is because staying in your home is usually better then their current living conditions, whether it be for privacy for a while from roommates or they live alone anyway. I think having free run of a nice home at no cost to them is generally enough compensation.
