I am staying at my Aunt's house while she is in Hawaii for 10 days. How much money should I ask for payment? I've done this a few times for her in the past but it was only for like a weekend and she would give me like $60 or something - but this time around - I'm pretty much living here for all 10 days, I have to feed & water the 4 dogs and 3 cats, water all the plants in the front yard and the backyard - morning and night since its been so damn hot - over the 100's all week - blah. And feed the Koi fish - which ended up dying from the heat - and I feel horrible about it and they say its not my fault since the heat most likely was too much and pulled all the oxegen out of the water...but I still feel like I "failed" in the fish watching part of the job. But yeah, she already fronted me $100 before they left, and said they'll pay up when they return. Most services like this are at least $40 a day right? should I be expecting at least $300?

they cleaned out the fridge and stuff before they left, so theres not that much to eat around here besides easy-mac - so I bought my own groceries.

If she can afford to go to Hawaii for 10 days...she should be able to afford to pay you about $200.00 especially since you had to buy food.

I get about $50 a day when I do something like that, which I just did 2 weeks ago

You should always negotiate after they get back ask for 500 dollars.
