Fair price Dogsitting/housesitting for 6 dogs?

I am going to be caring for 6 smaller dogs ranging from 5 lbs to 45 lbs and house sitting with them. 2 of the dogs need meds, with 1 dog requiring an insulin shot (syringe) and the other eye drops, both twice a day. No walks are required.

My question is, what do you think or feel is a fair price per week or total for 3 weeks?

Thank you.

Personally would not do it for less than 75$ per night. But a couple factors come into play. Are the dogs difficult behaviourally? Will you be able to walk other clients during the day or will this be your only income? Are they possible repeat clients? How much do you normally charge per night?

For house sitting I charge $40 for dog #1 and $20 for each additional dog. 6 dogs would bring my nightly total to $140 and would include all medication dispensing.

Six smaller dogs is still six dogs and with special needs as well so this booking would have to be your only booking for that period which means your only income so I would charge 40$ for the home stay and 10$ per dog plus 20$ for the meds so a total of 120$/day.
