How much to charge for watering/yard and garden sitting services?

I want to start a business taking care of peoples plants while they’re on vacation this summer. One neighbor had me do this a couple years ago and I really loved it and I need money, so thought it would be perfect! I have quite a bit of experience with my own yard and veggie garden. Plants seem to like me for the most part. I saved a dying bush that my parents couldn’t for years. I’m wondering how much to charge. I live in a small city in the Midwest with $15 minimum wage. I was thinking of estimating how long it would take me for watering and travel time and charging about minimum wage for it per day. And like $30 to add on a lawn mow?
