Each sitter is different so I can't speak for them. I would contact a sitter that you think might be a good fit and ask them how they might charge you. I personally charge by each dog and then a reduced rate for a second, third etc. For instance, it might be:
First dog $25
2nd $15
3rd $15
4th $15
5th $15
6th $15
Total $100 a night
This is just an example. Contact a sitter and see how they charge! Hope this helps.
It completely depends on the sitter's predetermined rates. Some will discount additional dogs and some with charge more. Be sure to inform the sitter what they can expect during their stay. How wild or loud are they? Do they need constant attention? Are they well-trained? Depending on that information, a sitter can adjust their rates for the stay.
If you are looking at a sitter profile, you can click on SERVICES & RATES and you will see how much for each additional dog, if the sitter listed a rate. Most I have seen so far do list an additional rate.
It all depends on the sitter. I charge for additional dogs because there is additional work involved, but my fee for the additional dog(s) is less than the original fee. You can discuss the fees at the meet and greet. I am flexible when it comes to multiple dogs, but especially if there are 3+ there is additional work involved on the sitter's part.
I don't charge for other dogs or pets. I charge 1 flat household rate price. My reason for this is kennels / boarding places charge for additional dogs. Many can't afford that and are trying to find quality care for their pets without paying for every animal. It get's expensive.
Wow - you've got a houseful! What is a "pitiful"?? You may want to send a msg to some of the sitters - since this is an unusual circumstance. They may give a special rate. Mine is $25 first and $10 second, but I've never had a request for six. Good luck - S
