The Regancy are 4000sq ft and are 7,500 ringett a month. have a lovely daughter, Dr happily single even if you were available and she had a hole in her head, needs to specialise then I think she will work in Africa or somewhere else that needs a compassionate Dr, ( hope for her she does but not for us we worry about her when there but she has to live her life,

Hi Susy,

Not sure what a single guy would do with 4000 sq ft and MYR 7500 per month is mighty rich - even for posh digs! ;

A guard has advantages over a house sitter but they're not going to tend the pet [if you have one] or the inside plants - usually. I'm sure you would want to engage a contractor to care for your garden/exterior. On the other side of the coin a house sitter does [or should] care for the pet - food, water, cleaning up after etc. and the house plants and making sure the other contractors are showing up and mowing the lawn, weeding, watering etc. The house sitter also gives the appearance someone is living there which dissuades a burglar from 'visiting' your home while you're not there. If you've that expensive a place perhaps creating a small apartment within your home that is separated from the house, has it's own bedroom, bath, kitchen and living or great room with it's private entrance and [optional] a commuting doorway from the apartment into the home. Then they could be both a home sitter and perhaps do menial tasks [gardener, cook, house keeper]?
