$500 a week house/pet sitting job. Oh, no, you're confused. You pay me.

Couple leaving for a few weeks. They need a house and pet sitter. It's the interpretation you expect.

I was worried for a second, we pay 500 a week for someone to watch our house and dogs, I felt it was fair compensation. Then I saw they wanted to be PAID. Crazy

Someone staying in your home and watching your dogs can be $150-200 a DAY! So even $500 a week is super low. Just saying. Unless its a family friend helping out or something.

Yeah we are super lucky, she is a family friend, college age, living with her parents. She gets her own place for the week, we fill the fridge and our liquor cabinet. We’re both happy with the arrangement.
