And in that case we pay them and bring them something (small) from our trip. Usually food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-tip-dog-watcher#post-1693813 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:06:48 +0000 mrsrain 1693813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not tip, unless they did something above and beyond. For example, coming by when your return is delayed or meeting a service person at your house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-tip-dog-watcher#post-1693730 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:36:51 +0000 bunnylove08 1693730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also wouldnt tip </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-tip-dog-watcher#post-1693723 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 14:34:49 +0000 Mamaof2 1693723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone - I wasn't sure what to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-tip-dog-watcher#post-1693151 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:46:00 +0000 edelweiss 1693151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we don't tip our dogsitter, hope i don't feel badly reading the rest of the responses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-tip-dog-watcher#post-1693141 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:43:09 +0000 pui 1693141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't tip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-tip-dog-watcher#post-1693138 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:42:20 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1693138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a huge tipper and i would actually not tip in this instance. $20/visit (i'm assuming you're talking about 5 days) is pretty standard and there's no need for a tip on top of that.</p> <p>I hire a cat sitter fairly regularly for when we're out of town. And we tip him at the holidays but thats it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-tip-dog-watcher#post-1693070 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:26:37 +0000 alphagam84 1693070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're already paying them a fair wage so why would you tip on top of that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-tip-dog-watcher#post-1692627 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:56:06 +0000 Mamaof2 1692627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are heading out of town next week so I hired a person to come to the house 1 time a day for 30 mins to check on my dog and feed her, and give her belly rubs. (we have a dog door so she can come in and out as she pleases)</p> <p>They will also grab the mail and water my plants on my deck.</p> <p>Its about $100 for the week - should I tip her? How much? </p>
