Look after the place when she is out misbehaving! (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

house sit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'look after the place' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'she is out misbehaving' is the wordplay.
'misbehaving' is an anagram indicator.
'she'+'is'+'out'='sheisout'
'sheisout' anagrammed gives 'HOUSE-SIT'.

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for house sit that I've seen before include "take care of residence" , "way to provide residential care?" , "take care of property" , "Look after building" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
