My friend will be staying at our home, checking the mail, caring for our dog and my bird. Etc.

I pay up to $45.00 a day at the kennel!
i would love to be able to find someone who would take Molly in THEIR home. My hubby does not like people in his house while he’s gone and Molly doesn’t really like the kennel, even when I pay extra for luxury boarding.

a nice fridge filled with good food and snacks and about $ 100.00 would be sufficiant enough.

I have someone come in. He just comes by a few times a day, collects the mail, walks and plays with the dogs, feeds/waters, etc for $30.00/day. He does not stay there. When I have had friends stay, I hit the grocery store and stocked up and gave them about $10/day. Given that it’s a friend and staying in your home, I would agree with rossi bear about the $100 and full fridge.

I’d suggest the going rate for kennel care + a well stocked fridge.
