My neighbor wants my soon to be 12 year old daughter to watch her 2 year old dog this next weekend. The dog will need to be let out 3-4 times per day from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. She will also need to feed/water/play and walk the dog.
The neighbor wants to pay her $50. My first reaction is that is too much. But is it? I don't even know how much teens get for babysitting a child!
I want it to be fair, but not over the top. Help! What do all of you think? Any advise or thoughts are welcome.

The dog walker in our neighborhood charges $15 for each "visit" of 1/2 hour. I think your neighbor is getting a great deal on your daughter's services. In our area babysitters make $8 an hour. Sounds like a good chance for your daughter to have some responsibility and be well-compensated. Make her save 1/2!

Their dog just spent 7 days there this past week. So, I think he would like some extra attention from DD.
