Do I charge a drop in fee and a walk fee if they want me to do both when I take care of their dog?

I have a potential client I am meeting with today and I'm still learning what to charge for my services. He wants me to do 2 drop in visits a day because his dog needs meds twice a day. I'm assuming he also wants me to walk the dog at least once a day as well. If that is the case, do I charge him my normal rate for drop in visits AND my rate for a 30 min walk? Or just charge for drop in visit? Thank you!

Walks and drop-ins are both 30 minute visits and many sitters will take the dog on a short walk during a drop-in service. Should you charge more, I'd say no.

Also most of us charge the same rate for drop-ins and walks and noticed yours aren't - I suggest you change this

I charge more for walks then drop-ins and none of my clients have ever questioned this. Walks are more labor intensive than drop-ins

I agree. A walk costs more. But I'll do whatever else within the 30 minutes.
