How much would you pay two friends who alternated watching your cats for 8 days?

I was going to get them gift cards to a favorite store but wasn't sure how much.

    Take them to dinner and then give them each a $15 gift card.

    Current rate for pet sitters who stop in, in Milwaukee, is $25 per day.

    Depends on what they are doing - if only feeding/water and scooping litter box then about $5 per day. If they are spending time playing, add about $5 for their time.

    And it depends on the number of cats too. If 3 or less I would think that $75-100 would be about the right amount for 8 days of care. If you just pay $5 a day, then round it up to $50.

    Most boarding places charge $10 a day.

    BTW - some of you guys are far too cheap! Remember its EIGHT days of care - not one or two!

    You know it would probably be fun if you took them both out to dinner and just had a good time and enjoyed one another's company. Then you could share with them all the fun you had on your trip while you were away. Good luck and whatever you decide I hope they like it.

    If the cats are staying at your house and you don't live far away, I'd say $25 is fair.

    Me myself i would give them $20.00 a piece. Because they took good care of kitty right? Then it would be worth more to me but I dont know what your pocket looks like. So you could give more thats up to you but atleast 20.00.

    Hope this helps you !!!
