According to experts:
- For a regular babysitter, tipping one night's pay is recommended.
- A dog walker might receive up to one week's pay or an equivalent gift.
- As for your barber, tipping up to the cost of a haircut is suggested.
- For a trash and recycling collector, $10 to $30 dollars cash or a gift, if it complies with municipal rules.
- For a handyman, $15 to $40 dollars or a similar gift.
These are guidelines — remember, it's the sentiment, whether in cash, homemade treats, a small gift, or just a card, that truly matters.
