What would you pay someone to watch your dog for a month, if you are providing the food?
Re: Quick Poll: Dog sitting
For me it would depend on if it is family, friends or someone who does dog sitting.
Family - I would give them around $5 per day.
Friends - Probably around $10
Dog sitter - If their normal fee was $20 per day, I would negotiate to $15.
I agree that it depends on who was doing the dog sitting. When Sadie was a puppy, we paid $16 a day for two half-hour visits, and I'm not even sure what full-time care would be. This of course was for a professional dog-sitter versus a friend or family member.
If you're looking at a family or friend member, I would probably offer around $250 for the month. I've never really thought this through though before, so I could be way off! I would want to make sure that the person was compensated for all of the work of walking, playing, etc.
I think $250 for the month sounds reasonable for either family or friend.
