Pet Sitter Tipping?

Not corgi related, but I need some advice. We are going out of town this weekend. Due to Colleen's tendancy towards demodectic mange and seperation anxiety, I am leaving her and Tucker with a local petsitter instead of at a boarding facility. She is only charging $40 per day for both dogs (Ein is coming with us.) The total bill comes to $160. I was thinking about writing the check for an even $175, but then I realized that 15% would be a total of $184.

What are the "rules" for tipping a pet sitter? 15%? $x per day? She's super nice and I really like her, as the Three Musketeers, so I know she'll take good care of them.

Thanks in advance!

PS- she watches dogs out of her own home (well, her rental house now - recent foreclosure I think) and her 3 children love to help out with the dogs, so I know the dogs will get lots of playtime and loving.

Thanks!

I definitely feel like she undercharges, considering she said 1 would be $30 and 2 would be $40 for 24/7 care.
