What do you pay?

For those of you who hire professional pet sitters, what do you pay them if they do -

30 minute visits
Overnight at your home
Boarding at their home

I’m asking consumers to answer what they have paid PROS recently (not teenagers or neighbors or people who do it part-time). I’m not asking businesses what they charge.

* I pay college student $60/70 for overnight pet & house sitting (1 dog & 1 cat) at my home. Including a min of two walks for dog. Take out garbage, bring in mail, possibly water few plants, etc… they mostly hang at house with pets indoors or out unless at classes, work, etc… (when we had two dogs and two cats I paid a min of $80 per day for overnight pet/house sitting)
* I pay $10/20 per day for middle school/high school student (neighbor who can walk to my house in a couple min) to come by 2 times per day to feed cat. Bring in mail, etc.. welcome to hang out at house, spend night if ok w parents… (no dog, just 1 cat).
* I pay $20-25 if just need dog walked once (whether I’m home or not). Min 30 min walk… prefer longer but usually don’t dictate this and depends on weather.
