What is appropriate - pet sitting

[Anonymous]

Please let me know how much you think an individual should be paid for sleeping over your home as a pet sitter. At least 8 of the hours would be spent sleeping. Walks, meds if needed, bring in mail, etc included.
Thx

$25 an hour. At least minimum wage.

Go on Rover and see what people are charging in your area. (Nobody is getting $25 an hour to sleep)

I got offered $50 a night! To be clear, I’d be doing a 12 hour shift. $4.16 per hour.

Turned it down. - op

I've seen everything from $50-$100.

It's not a job I think of as an hourly rate the way you might think of dog walking.

We recently paid $85/night, one dog.

Sleeping over is a bigger hassle than just walking the dog or feeding the cats. You should be paying them more than what it would cost to board

If you are caring for the dog it is.

you're kidding right? So a full day of dog sitting should cost $600...lol good one.

Yeah I didn't expect $7.25 per hour for sleeping, but I did expect something closer to I don't know, $6 an hour.

In this area? $100/night minimum.

I pay $100 a day. I also buy groceries. I don’t expect walks - we have a fenced yard. Also no meds. Do expect mail to be brought in.

I think $80-100/day is totally reasonable. $25/hr is likely for dog walkers (and honestly thats low), but house/pet sitting has much more downtime so an hourly rate doesnt work great.

We pay $85 for a day/overnight of dog- and cat-sitting. One dog, two cats.

I have paid $75/night
