I have a few different people I ask to do it. There is no commercial arrangement. They are doing me a favour and I usually give them something (be it a case of beer/flowers/voucher for a shop etc.), but I also realise that favour go both ways - if they want *me* to do something for them, then the same 'rules' apply.
We have had younger people from my wife's church 'house-sit' for us. This is usually giving them somewhere away from their parents house, so it is a win-win. In this case we would also give an appropriate gift.
Everyone we ask either lives walking distance to our house OR drives by every day anyway.
