I am not a cat person, but the way she (my wife) sold me on the cat was that a cat can self feed, use a liter box, etc., hence no need for a sitter or boarding of any kind. With that if she (my wife) came to me and said we needed to pay a cat sitter, I would...never mind....probably say yes dear, and make sure we had enough money in the checking account.

But, I think the point is that given the low amount of work required, and if you were a friend, I would do it for you with no questions asked and not expect anything even given that I don't like cats. If a friend did this for me (my wife) I would get them a special gift, consistent with how much I loved the cat, or in my case my wife.
