Dog walker/sitter

Hello all. I'm still around :)

Help me out here. We are leaving town for 6 days. A neighbor will keep Jake in her house all night, walk him in the morning and then leave him at my house during the day (like usual), my daughter is going to walk him after she gets off work in the evening and then the neighbor would get him from my house to keep overnight....etc. 

What is a fair amount to pay her or give her cash and gift cards to some local restaurants.....? I have no idea :/

 

Re: Dog walker/sitter

  • We pay our sitter $60/day for 3 visits with a 30 min walk at each visit
  • I believe anywhere from $40-$50/day is the going rate.  My neighbor has a dog walking business and my good friend dog sits for her family/friends/neighbors...thats typically what they charge for overnight stays.

    Since your neighbor and daughter are splitting it (70/30) - I would go toward the $45/day range - you can write her a check, if you think she'd take it.  Or do the restaurant and movie gift cards.
