| answered a question | Clients asking for reduced price? If someone has multiple dogs that I am looking after for an extended time of at least a week that don't require a lot of special needs attention, I will give a small discount. Like 30 for the first dog and 25 or 20 for the others. However $30 is a good price when 25% is taken out because that is a business expenses. Don't be afraid to be firm about your price being the lowest you can go considering your expenses. If you can go get or call around to get boarding prices in your area and tell them how much they'd pay elsewhere if they press you. |
| commented answer | Did I handle this the right way? Terrified of bad review? Nothing would have pleased that type of person and 1 bad review with a lot of great ones might only trigger someone to ask what happened giving you a chance to explain. Don't worry about this. |
| commented answer | Charging for walking multiple dogs? I would initially quote the $12 if you have to walk them individually. If the client is negative about the price then negotiate. If you start at the lower price and they don't like it then you are worse off. |
| commented answer | Do you agree with Rover Cards? I don't think they should be mandatory but the client should have the choice to decide. |
| commented answer | Do you think their should be an "additional service" option for small animals? No, I have quoted a price for someone who had 2 dogs, a cat, a bird, a rat, a bunny, and a pond of fish. You can just adjust the dog and cat totals to get whatever total you want. In your profile you can say that you look after other pets and to ask you for a quote. |
| commented question | About the pricing of two visits per day equals what? If they meant twice per day, then it would be $24. If they meant twice for the whole weekend then $12 per day. |
