While I'm traveling my cat will be staying with someone at their house. It might be two weeks, but hope I will be successful on my Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike and it will be more like 6-7 months. I will supply all her supplies (litter box, litter, food, bowls, medication, etc) so it should not cost her anything. I'll make arrangements for paying for the vet if that should arise. She will have to give Kinsey her thyroid medication every day, clip her nails, clean her ears at least once a month or so. Has anyone had this experience and can give me an idea what would be a fair monetary compensation? I have not inquired about the cost of a professional pet sitter because Kinsey will not be staying in home. I figure that since it will be for such a long time, she will be better off staying with her in her home. Or to keep all options open, has anyone ever hired a professional pet sitter for long term care? Thanks for any ideas!
