Housesitter - What to pay?
Wondering how much to pay a house sitter? Primary duty will be to take care of our cat, keeping him company, feeding him and changing the litter in his box every couple of days. This will be for a twelve day period. The sitter will have access to the whole house, Netflix, DVD collection etc. What is a fair amount to pay?

My adult daughter does this occasionally and receives $25 - $50 per day. Price depends if there are more feedings or medicine needed during the regular work day, or if it is just morning & night that the animal needs to be fed.
I'm pretty sure you can find people to house-sit for free these days.
I paid a catsitter $25 per visit to do those things. I think that may have been slightly on the low side. Another one quoted me $35. Good luck!
