Going rate for a cat-sitter?

[Anonymous]

College-student neighbor (living at home during distance learning) will be coming by our house once a day to feed, water, clean the littler box, and play with the cats while we're out of town for a week. Hasn't asked for money, so I'm crowd-sourcing what I should offer them. What's normal / reasonable?

$15 per 30 minute visit

We paid $50/day but we liked them a lot and had an animal who required medication. 2 cats & 2 exotics. We also left drinks/snacks.

My sibling charges $25/day for cats because minor travel is required.

Good vacation care is hard to find..

I'd pay $20/day for 2, $5 per day more for each additional (if any).

I pay $15 a day to teenage neighbors to come twice a day (cat eats wet food).
