Pricing is hard. You have fair rates compared to other sitters in your city, and given your reviews and that you have repeats, I would stick to your guns. You might offer something like a "stay 10 nights get one night free" deal, or if a client asks for a discount consider it for a stay over 7-14 days, but remember that you don't want to be stuck caring for a pup and feeling like you and your work aren't valued. I personally only list my regular rate, puppy rate, and holiday rate on my profile, and only consider extra dog or extended stay discounts on a case by case basis (if owners see it listed I think they are more likely to ask!).
Recently I had a client book for over two weeks with two pups who asked for a discount. I ran a variety of numbers (what if I charge x dollars off for the second pup, what if I discount both pups x dollars, what if I take 10%, 15 %, 20% off the entire stay, etc, etc..) and looked at what the client would be paying and what I would be taking home after the 15% that Rover takes from me for each situation. I figured out the minimum I would be able to take for the work I was doing, and offered something in the middle (which ended up being 10%) and she was happy with the offer.
The other thing to keep in mind is that the type of clients you ideally want are the ones who do recognize the level of care you are providing and are willing to pay it. I have gotten better quality clients as my prices have gone up over the past 5 years.
If you feel like you need to justify your pricing, do so! You have looked at the rates of other top sitters in your area and are competitively priced, there are two of you, so you provide double the care, you have a large, fenced yard, and include whatever else makes you stand out as sitters.
Also, personally (and I'm sure others might disagree) I think it's fair to mention that Rover takes a cut. I think a lot of clients don't know about this, or forget about it when they are negotiating, and it is legitimately one of the reasons you aren't able to offer a lower price to begin with.
I haven't had a situation where a client tries to negotiate the price but if I did I would let them know the rate is set and there isn't a way to modify it. Unless there are additional dogs involved or it is a lengthy stay then we could work around the rate.
I have a client that paid me 12.00 for drop-ins and now they are trying to rebook with me for 10.00? ??? I'm new to Rover and I don't know what to do?
