To ask how much you pay your cat feeder?

[Merryoldgoat]

I’m heading off on holiday and instead of asking neighbour I’m thinking of asking my cleaner to feed my cat daily.

She walks past my house every day so it won’t be out of her way and she will do her normal clean one day.

She would feed the cat and water the plants - she’d be here maybe 20-30 mins.

Is £10 a visit ok?

That’s really kind and generous

I'd say that's quite fair, but is there a possibility you could get someone to sit in with your cat so it doesn't get lonely.

Seems fair to me. We pay £12 for a 30-45 minute visit of our pets when we go on holiday, but he drives a few miles out to us.

We hire a professional dog walker/pet holiday visitor and she charges £8 a visit.

Mice are usually free....
I was paying £6 a visit but it was a couple of years ago

That sounds fair, and the bonus is the cat is used to her being in the house so won’t think “Stranger Danger !” And run and hide.

We used to pay our cleaner £10 a time when she lived near us. She liked animals and needed the money, plus she already had keys etc so it was easy. The last time we were away it was 16 visits and I did round it up to £200 though.

Sadly we have moved and have no cleaner and the local sitter is £15 a pop.

Ok great - seems fair then.

She is the loveliest lady and she’ll give the cat a fuss but to be honest she’s an antisocial little bint (the cat). I think the cleaner may also split the weekly clean over two days as we have 4 hours a week so the cat will get two longer stretches anyway.

I charge £8 for 20 minutes, or £10 for half an hour.

I'm a dog-walker and do cat visits as a way to earn some extra money.

I think that sounds fine! Ours is £15 per visit but she’s a professional sitter, we’re in London so what isn’t more expensive here, and she’s local but not that local so comes on her motorbike.

I’ve used 3 round here and they are all £10 per visit so sounds like youve got it right.

I pay £13 for a 30 minute feeding/grooming playing cleaning litter tray and they come twice a day (so £26).

So I think £10 is fine, If it was a neighbours child like a teenager I might give them 10 quid to pop in twice a day just to feed them and clean litter

We pay £7 for 15 mins or £10 for 30 mins (if we want bins taken in/out and garden watering etc).

I used to pay £10 a day around 12 years ago, but that was London. Looks like that’s an ok price still going by pp.

That sounds fair - she may reconsider her career and take up pet sitting though!
