If I'm sitting for just a few hours during the day should I still charge the overnight fee or less?

I was asked to sit for a few hours during an afternoon and was wondering what the recommended rate should be. My regular charge is $20-25 a night.

My daycare rates are a bit less than my overnight rates. For comparison, I charge $37 for my overnight care(boarding), but $30 for a whole day of daycare (4-9 hours) or $20 for a half day (<4 hours).

That said, if it's preventing you from taking another overnight client, you might want to charge your full, or nearly full, rate.

I see that your overnight rate is for sitting in the pet's home. If you are a traveling sitter and only have to stay for a few hours, look at what the going rate locally is for dog walking.
