answered a question Hey Sitters, what's your favorite park for dog walks?

Mina, In the city of Portland my top picks are: 1) Mt. Tabor Park (in SE) 2) Washington Park (in SW) 3) Forrest Park (in NW) *Also not to be overlooked is 1000 acres dog park, it is truly an experience your dogs will thank you for and never forget! It's located right outside Portland in Troutdale.

answered a question How do you handle when owners are stuck in another state because of storm? Charge more for the nights proceeding? Same rate?

Kara, I had this happen only once so far. I charged one additional nights rate (the regular rate) and it worked out well. The owner was beyond apprechaitive. I too was lucky that I was available to keep the pup the additional night and day. Since then, I try my best to plan for these events by leaving one night open prior to their stay (in the event they need to leave sooner) and 1-2 nights available at the end of the stay (in the event they can't get back in time). Best of luck!

answered a question What Does the Fee Include?

Becky, as a sitter this fee covers a 24 hour period. I have a 4 hour grace period. After the 4 hour period, I charge a half day rate. For example if drop off is at 8am, then pick up can be as early as agreed upon but as late as noon (without paying any additional fees). I really think it varies a little from sitter to sitter. I recommend finding a Rover sitter who best accommodates your needs and requests.
