Can a sitter charge extra after stay for late pick-up?

Thankfully I'm not in this situation right now but want to know the answer in case it happens. If an owner is very late to pick up their pup after the stay, can you as the sitter charge a fee after the fact? That is to say: is there any way to tack on extra charges? Obviously you can adjust the rate for add-ons before the owner confirms the booking, but you don't know if they're going to pick-up late. I want to put a stipulation in my profile about an additional charge for each hour that the owner is late to pick-up, but I certainly can't enforce it if there is no way to add that charge. Any ideas? What do you do?

I understand that I can modify the booking and send it to the owner, but the owner could simply chose not to pay. For example, if I add a charge of $10 on after the stay because of a late pick-up, the owner could just not pay it.

Dropoff and pickup times should be agreed upon at the meet and greet, and after understanding the duration of the care inform the client of the additional charge. And you are correct the client can refuse to pay so the earlier it is discussed the bettter.
