How much do you charge per gas mileage when dropping in or walking a clients dog?

I live in Texas and only do boarding, house sitting, drop ins and walks within my zip code, about a 5-7 mile radius. I will I won't do drop ins or walks farther away than that because of the drive time. I will house sit further away but I charge $5 per day extra for mileage.

The IRS mileage rate for 2017 is 53 cents a mile if you want to use that.

Aloha! I understand that things are done differently in Hawaii and Rover allows each sitter to set our own agreement with clients. So, discussing with another sitter in the islands will probably be more beneficial - even if not on Rover, just check out businesses that offer dog walks. The IRS guideline for mileage, which many organizations use, is currently 53.5 cents per mile.

However, in my area of the mainland, clients tend to expect and appreciate having an all inclusive price, to keep it simple. So, the rate is a set price within a ten mile radius. Beyond that,cost adjustments are possible, but it's more likely that a closer sitter would be available.
