Hmm considering they’d have to go about 10 times but it should only take about 5 min each time, maybe like $200? Anything less for me I’d say probably wouldn’t be worth their time if you aren’t friends.
Yeah the nice thing about it is that it uses a reservoir instead of connecting to a tap. So no worries about returning to a flooded home.

Give them away. Don't pay

Get one of these:
Just ask as a favor and don’t mention pay. If they agree, hit them with a $50-$100 gift card and a small goodie bag as a thank you! That way you’re appreciating them rather than hiring them, which makes finding the right $ amount awkward.
You can simply disagree? Lol
Perhaps I’m misunderstanding the ask but I really don’t think it takes that long to water plants. Whether I’m watering 5 plants or 20, probably the most troublesome piece of it would be letting myself into their place which isn’t a big deal if I’m a neighbor. If I’m not willing to do that, I’m probably not willing to do it for a $ amount either.
I’d do it for free if I liked the person and I’d feel better about it if they gave me a gift vs if they offered pay for it. My response was from my stance as the person performing the task. Sorry you guys don’t like your neighbors 🤷🏻♀️

Somebody on the plant bowl suggested that I bring the potted plants to a few close friends’ houses (so each friend will get 5 pots or so - not excessive) and ask for their help to water them in the duration that I’m away. I thought this was a great solution as well - and that way I can be away for as long as I want
