I interviewed a sitter, and we discussed the daily rate. After I made contact to hire her, she says she is charging additional fees for dog walking. Shouldn't that be part of the daily rate?
Hi Belinda,
All Rover sitters are independent contractors, and are able to set their own rates and fees. For example, I charge a key fee for picking up and dropping off keys before and after a stay. Personally I include all care required for the 24 hours I am house sitting (so if a stay starts at 9am on Monday, I do all walks and feedings from then until 9am on Tuesday) but will charge additional fees after the 24 hours (so if you needed a walk at 12 noon on Tuesday, that would be extra). That being said, I do also know sitters that charge the overnight fee and then also for walks and feedings. We all run our businesses differently!
I hope this information helps!
Thanks so much for the input, it was very helpful
