pet sitting
What is the going rate for house and pet sitting services?
What is the going rate for house and pet sitting? I have been doing house and pet sitting off and on for the past year and a half and I never know what is a reasonable rate to charge for my time.
I thought it was free but that is for a live in position where your living rent free and free utilities such as http://house-sit.info
Otherwise if your just visiting once a day to check mail and feed the pets etc but living outside the house then it should be paid depends on how much you will have to do and the tasks such as feeding walking pets having to be there at a set time for repair men coming etc
you would have to work the contract out with the owner pertailing to all that is involved
How much should I charge for pet sitting?
I live in So. California and their home is about 15 miles away. They have three dogs I would be caring for overnight. I have done pet sitting in the past for family, but I'm not sure how much to charge a night?
I would say if they aren't family, 20 bucks per day if you have to drive there each day. I know the gas is more expensive there.
