how much should i pay a house sitter if they're going to watch my house for a week? They will have to feed my cats, my dog, and my fish. They will need to walk the dog three times a day and clean the cat box once a day. What would you pay someone to do all of that?
note: they get to stay at our house and we'll pay for the meals (they're in college so this to them is a great deal)

I would think $150 for the week. College kids always need the money and to them this would be a lot of work.

Call a local company as if you were hiring a sitter and see what they charge and then you can negotiate from there. Be sure who every you hire is dependable. You don't want to come home to some sick pets or worse and a cleaned out house. An make some rules about parties and guest at your house.
Ask what they want????to do that service. If you already have someone they probably have a figure in mind already.

I would think about 35 dollars a day. I used to pet sit, and that was like the average wage for walking dogs three times a day.

Wow, this seems like a very good deal by itself, but i would give them $50-$80, Because as all pet owners know, it is hard work taking care of animals.
Personally, i would take this deal w/o second thought, but it also depends on where you live, and the 'Supplie and Demand' of house and pet sitters.
Good luck,

Hmm... for in-house sitting with room and board included, I'd pay probably $100 for the week.

Add $100 to the free food and board.. This will make it a sweet deal.
