I have one cat and use a pet sitter. Her website, should you like to see it for comparison (although this is in the US in an affluent area) is: http://howardcountypetsitting.com - it gives her rates. The small pet rate is $10 per visit for one pet. All supplies are provided at the home of the pet. The kitty rate is $15 per visit for one kitty. It's a good site for information.

I leave a check with a note each time we use the service. They have our key.

Good luck!!
