House Sitting........? (More in details)

Question

My neighbour is going away for a month in september and has asked me to go in everyday and spend some time with her cats (Man! she loves those cats!). I've also got to keep the place clean and water her plants. I wont be staying at the residence but I'll be next door.

I often go in twice a week while she is there to tidy her house for her and every other weekend I feed the cats.

What do you think a good price is?

- In sterling pounds please - =) Thanks in advance

Answer 1

It depends on how much time they expect you to spend..and how close a friend they are  besides just being neighbors...You can figure the minimum wage  in your area per hour and figure it that way..or you can give a flat out price, at a extremely reduced rate if they are also a personal friend, or nothing at all..if they are that good of a friend...charge by the week anywhere from 10 pounds a week or 50 pounds a week ..just depending on the association of you two..and also keep in mind thier budget and financial situation...if they have plenty of money, charge them fairly for they have the money, but if financially stressed..be easy or free on them
