We have three dogs and I they do great together. I wondered if any sitters offer discounts for multiple dogs in the same family.
Many sitters offer discounts for a second or third dog from the same family. Usually their profile will state this and indicate the second dog charge. If not, you are always welcome to contact a sitter directly and ask.
I specified multi-day and add'l dog discounts in my profile. I edit the price when someone books with me. I'm new at boarding. I don't know if what I did makes sense.
But, what I wanted to point out is that I made a spreadsheet to figure it all out. If you'd like to use it, it's here:

I hope that's ok to share that. If not, I understand if my post disappears.
Rates go in the yellow fields, input is in red. The significant results are in green.
Generally, sitter will offer a discounted rate, I offer $5.00/day extra dog. It seems like if I charged more I would be ripping the client off. For long-term stays, I do consider increasing the price just because the stay will be longer and dogs will need more care/love.
How many days would would begin to meet your definition for "long-term"?
7+ days, I would raise rates by $10/day for each dog
Price can always be adjusted. just ask whoever the dog sitter you chose
