Suggested bird boarding price?

A potential client has asked me to board her two finches as well as her dog. The birds share a cage and sound like very little extra work. She is willing to pay for their care. What is a fair price per night?

Thanks for your input!

Most of my bird customers have paid/offer $5/night.

If you never cared for a bird I and if your customer has dogs staying with you as well you can just not charge them- they will most likely pay you/tip you more than if you charge them ($20-$50) and it gives you a chance to learn about what accommodations you need to make for successful bird care.

I love that advice! Thank you!

I think perhaps $5 a night would be sufficient and cover the client's convenience of having them in your home. I wouldn't think they will really add any extra stress/responsibility to merit more than $5/night,.

Is your pet bird friendly? As a bird owner, I'd want to know that :)
