If you were in the pet sitting business, how much would you charge...

@itsok You think about 100 seems ok for one? And I think that's reasonable for 30 for second dog.

@Baybreeze yeah, if the dog doesn’t have a lot of extra needs, $100 for one.

@itsok Ty friend 🌼

@Baybreeze I lived near Worcester for several years and only charged like 65 a day for 2 dogs, and was swamped with business. It made a good supplementary income

@averageguy I'm seeing people charging a lot more near Boston area, like 150 a day for two dogs

@Baybreeze ah, it does go higher near Boston, just because there is more money there, that's true

@UnderLockDown Play is a small portion, picking up messes, in mud, rain, poop pickup, dogs can run off and pull, attack other dogs...plus you're keeping the home looked after and safe...

@Baybreeze Yeah, but everything pales in comparison to puppy dogs! They are so much easier than temp workers.😫

@Muthafukajones They are offering 100 a day for both. I just think it's too low especially with one being only a year old. They may not have had puppy school, and dogs that young are high energy

@Adogslife this is a one year old, like a puppy ....I'm not sure if it's more walks a day yet than the other dog or together. I'm also watching the house, and do plants outside, and one dog is dog aggressive on walk. So I guess 100 could work but I do believe it's worth more for high energy dog

@Adogslife My therapist told me she paid her sitter 100 a day with no walks. Just take out to play twice a day and feed, for one dog. Eight years ago. 🤔

@Baybreeze My wife pays a friend. She drops our dog off for a full week while we’re on vacation. She pays the friend $50/day.

When the dog has a play day (at our vet’s), I’m pretty sure the 8am - 5:00pm is $47.50/day.

Those are RI numbers. If I was at work (Boston burbs), I’m betting you can get $150 for the pair. Everyone can afford it.

@Thevy29 Wow, that's beyond low. But a kennel doesn't typically give extra belly rub, care, or walks. They do a ten minute outside time? This would be three walks a day plus overnight... watching house too.

@Baybreeze They walk em. Plus have this yard were they attach the leash to a line and let them all run up and down... They have to keep the prices low since there are so many kennels around.

@Lostpoet if you were doing it hypothetically for a client... someone you didn't know

@StygianKohlrabi I was thinking 120 Bec the rate is 100 in MA for one dog including overnight. Plus bringing in packages, mail, watering plants, three walks a day, outdoor play. And the one year old I have no idea if it's trained, they are high energy

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout No walk ? Lol
