I was on tempory assignment with my job for 12 months and I needed someone to take care of my house and two cats while I was gone. Mowing the lawn, feeding the cats, and generally watching over things.... I paid a friend $200/month for this help. I think I should be able to deduct this amount... I think anyway...

"If your assignment or job away from your main place of work is temporary, your tax home does not change". The factors you mentioned are related to your tax home and are not deductible. However, there are several other deductions you may not have thought about. The attached link is to the IRS leaflet on temporary work assignment deductions.

Sorry, but there's no deduction for that.
