As of 2015, the average industry price in the United States for house sitting is $25 to $30 per day, according to HouseSitter.com. The recommended pay for house sitting varies widely based on your location, the skills of the house sitter and the responsibilities that accompany the job.
For background, I have six LARGE dogs (one is a pit bull), 2.5 acres (summer means watering trees), a works-when-it-wants-to alarm system, and live in an area that has been known for on and off robbery problems. So, if youâre wondering how much do house sitters costâhereâs what I pay. Because I need my house sitter to stay in my home 24/7 while Iâm goneâI pay her $30 per day AND I leave her $50-$100 for groceries (depending on the length of my trip), allow her to use my washer/dryer, donât put a limit on utility use, and she can basically eat or drink anything thatâs already in the fridge or kitchen cabinets.
