Cat Sitters - Cost?

[emilydickinson]

Normally we have our neighbors cat sit, and we take care of their cat when they are gone. But we were doing lots of traveling recently and didnt want to burden them with it. So, we hired a young woman who works at our vet. We recently paid her £225 for 19 days of cat sitting.

so, for us U.S. cat people would that be UK£ 225 = 348.48 U.S. dollars? for 19 days - or $18.34/day for one cat?

EEeek! I hadnt put it into $ (my native currency). This woman was cheap compared to some other people I spoke with. We live in London, so Im sure that is part of it.
