I think sometimes our clients aren't sure about the appropriate tipping protocol with pet sitters because we are usually the owners of our business. When I was growing up, you tipped employees but not the owner of the business. Like you, I always appreciate the acknowledgement of a tip or gift, but I feel no offense if one isn't given. I'm well paid by my clients, and try to give excellent value to them and their dear pets. If they're moved to give a little something extra, that's a nice bonus but not expected.
