The kids and I are going to WDW for a week in June. My husband will be at home. We have a 5 month old puppy. Husband can't walk the dog due to being in a wheelchair. We have asked one of my daughter's good friends to come and walk the dog each day. She is in 5th grade and very good with the dog. She and DD walk him together many evenings. How much should I pay her to come over each day and walk the dog for 20-30 minutes?
Thanks!!
 
My DD16 is doing this for a couple in our neighborhood this summer, so they don't have to come home at lunch during work. They figured 15-30 minutes of time a day. She's charging them $5 a day. (Her babysitting rate is $10 a hour).
 
I'd say $20 - $25 for the whole time. When dd15 is looking to make some extra money, I pay her $2 for every 15 minutes of dog walking.
 
If it were just a 5 or 10 minute jaunt to just 'do his business' I'd go with the $5 but a 20-30 minute walk each day? I'd say $10 a day.

Maybe $50 and a nice souvenir, but I wouldn't do less than that.

We had our babysitter who is 17 come over to collect the mail, feed the cat, scoop the litter box and water the plants. We were gone 7 nights and paid her $50 plus a Mickey head antenna topper for her car.
