How do you decide on puppy rates?
Do you guys charge different house sitting rates for, say, an 11 month old puppy versus a 3 month old puppy? There's a world of difference in the amount of attention and care these two need, from what I can tell (although I am frankly totally inexperienced in house sitting for puppies in general). I recently was asked to take care of a 3 month old rhodesian ridgeback puppy, recently from his breeder, that can't stay in his crate for more than an hour without an accident & chews everything (including my clothes) constantly... it's made me realize that $3 over my normal rate seems way too low for the amount of dedication this will require. Thoughts? What would you guys charge, relative to your normal rate? I guess I wasn't thinking of such young puppies when I established my rate.
For a while i was not taking puppies, but now have decided to try it again. My puppy rate is 15.00 more then my regular rate as they do need more care and time.
