Does House Sitting Pay?

As a starting point to keep in mind, typical house sitting rates are in the $25-30/day range, more (around $50) for overnight stays. But this is just a ballpark. We suggest taking the time to calculate a number based on your own house sitting expectations and needs.

Do you get paid for house sitting?

Trusted Housesitters have long-term opportunities across the UK and although you won't get paid, you could see it as a great way to have a free holiday. You may even be able to negotiate a small payment if there are dogs to feed and walk or any other additional requirements.

How much does a house sitter get paid?

So even if you charged $100 per night, you wouldn't even break even on a sit with one hour of work per day unless the sit is over two weeks! I started off charging $35 per night as a base rate (remember MadPaws take a cut of that), but increased it to $50 plus $10 per additional pet.
