How Much To Pay a Pet Sitter?

Adding my voice to the crowd. $100 sounds just right.

Our pet sitter charges $13/visit for up to 3 cats. That covers about a half hour stop to check food/water, scoop litter, and a little bit of lovin'.

For me it depends on the age of the person. I paid my neighbor kid about $5 per day to bring in the mail and take care of the cats. I figured it took less than 30 minutes per day. I paid my adult friend $15 per day to keep my dog at here house and to come over every other day for the cats.

I would pay a college student about $10 per day for cat sitting. He still has to walk/drive/bike 1.5 miles roundtrip to do it.
