Holiday tips/bonus (sorry!)

I have 2 different people that walk/sit for my dog. One only walks my dog when I need her, usually about 2-3 times per month (young college student)

The other is a dog walker/sitter. She will walk my dog when the other one is not available and watches my dog in her home (her parent's home) when I go away (which can be anywhere from an overnight to a week, usually several times per year). Her dog sitting service is her own business (side gig sort of), but she does also work full time at another job.

I have been using the dog sitter for a few years. The dog walking services (from both) I have only been using since this past summer.

What, if anything, would you give as a holiday tip for each of them?

Thanks!

I would give the sitter who you use to when you go away more. Maybe like $75 or $100. But my dog is like my child, lol.

The other one I would do like $25 gc or cash.

i'm also a lover of puppies (no matter how old they are, they are always puppies to me) and people who love my puppy have a special place in my heart.

the one who dog sits: $75
the one who occasionally walks: $25

I give my dog walker who I have every day a week extra pay (we pay a flat amount each week).

I would probably give the occasional walker 25 or so and maybe 75-100 for the other.
