Hello fellow pup sitter! I had the same question when I first began Rovering last month. To help me be competitive, I searched sitter profiles in my zip code, noted how experienced they were, and how many bookings & reviews they had, and then set my rate about $5 less than the top charging sitters. Being brand new, i thought this strategy would help me get established, earn a few great reviews, then I could notch up my rates as I gained more experience. Hope this is helpful! 🐾
David, you are an established sitter with 55 reviews, why are you asking for boarding rate suggestions? You seem to be in the middle of the pack in your area with your current rate!
Each city/region is different in pricing guidelines and recommendations. That is just too vague a question to get a realistic answer. And like Walt said, you have 28 return clients, why ask about pricing now? Obviously what you're doing is working. Just look at other sitters in your area to gauge what the average price is, and then set yours accordingly.
