How are tips from customers handled?

Cash is best. Gifts, business referrals, and great reviews are also appreciated. Otherwise, you could tell the sitter you'd like to tip and ask if he/she would give you their email connected to pay pal.

Cash. Gifts. Gift cards. Check. Paypal. Cash me. I have received a gift card for Target, cash from my regular clients, many referrals on nextdoor, and cash in the mail! That was a wonderful surprise :) Whatever you choose will be greatly appreciated. Nothing different than tipping your hair cutter or cab driver or Uber driver ;)
