How Much to Pay A Pet Caregiver?

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Danny Meek

Can you just give me general info on the cost?  How much does one get paid to be a pet caregiver?  Tony, Marco Island, FL

Tony, there is no standard that a pet caregiver receives for taking care of the pets of a deceased owner.

If obviously depends on the type, number and age of the pets.

For example, it would certainly be easier to take care of a parakeet, as compared to three horses.

Other factors include items such as the daily schedule or routine that the owner has established in the pet trust.

It will also make a difference if the pets reside with the caregiver or if the caregiver moves into the former owner’s residence.

Many times the owner and the named caregiver will have discussed and agreed upon all of these factors

Of course, the language of the pet trust will ultimately control the amount of payment.
