How to handle day care for overnight stays?
I am wondering how other sitters handle their day schedules for overnight stays? I am asking because I just had a client remove the first night from her booking, she had originally booked Thursday night to Sunday (not paying for Sunday night of course because the overnight stays only charge you per night). Now she says she is leaving Friday morning and returning Sunday night. So I know of course that I will be caring for the dog first thing Friday morning, and Sunday night. I feel like I am being underpaid (mostly because I will be caring for the dog on Sunday but not getting paid for that day) but I want to make sure my assumption is correct and I am wondering how to correct this. I usually include up to 3 daytime visits for overnight stays. She just booked and now before clicking to accept it I am wondering if it would be appropriate to message her and say that I realized that since the care will extend to Sunday night, I need to charge for however many daytime visits the dogs need on Sunday until she gets home. Is this correct?
Agree w/Karen's answer below. To clear up any confusion, the rate structure when you stay overnight in their home is based on 24 hours of care, so there's no figuring "x# such as 3" daytime visits -- except for the time beyond 24 hr. periods.
