What does everyone consider an EXTENDED STAY or is it different for everyone? In other words how many days is considered "extended" and how much more should I charge for that?
I charge an extended rate for boarding for any stay over 10 days. Most of my clients are gone about a week, so I don't charge it very often.And it only applies to Dog #1. Any additional dogs get charged the regular additional dog rate.
Cari, increase or decreased rate?
It's decreased by $5/day. The reason I do it is because the dogs and I have settled into a routine, plus it's guaranteed money and I haven't had to deal with looking for new clients.
I see that Kristina only provides house sitting. I can see why she might think an extended stay warrants a higher price. The longer you are away from home, the more inconvenient it can be,
Extended stay can be different from sitter to sitter, I think most would say an extended stay is longer than 7 days/nights. Also, many sitters discount their rate for extended stays by a few dollars, but many don't. I searched your area and this sitter has lots of reviews and repeats and she discounts for more than 7 days https://www.rover.com/members/lagina-...type=overnight-traveling&startdate=&end_date=&refer=search
What you do is a personal decision - best of luck
