How to make an hourly rate for "house sitting"???

13 hours = 1 full day/night of boarding or house sitting. I would not discount it one cent because it essentially takes up your entire day. Also, you cannot look at hourly when it comes to those two services.

For house sitting, I don't know how or why you are viewing this as two days. For example, maybe you only need to show up at 7 pm and they've told you that you can leave at, say, 8 am. That is totally consistent with the charge for one night of house sitting. In fact, YOU are getting off easy, not the client because they're entitled to 24 hours of care and you get to go home early.

With Rover's new extended care rate, a customer having an overage of 2-8 hours is charged 50% of the sitter's nightly rate. For 8+ hours, the owner gets charged for another full night. So it is entirely consistent with the ranges Rover has established .

This is something you would have to discuss with the client before booking and modify before clicking book it now.

You know the market in Michigan best, but good luck getting $10 an hour after eight hours.

Would you pay that for your dogs?

For pet sitting, it’s not advisable to look at it as an hourly rate.

13 hours would be booked as 1 night/day (not 2). Rover’s loose framework for Both House Sitting & Boarding is that each night/day is for up to 24 hours.
