asked a question Can I charge to take a dog to the vet to have stitches out after they have been spayed ?

I request that all the dogs I watch be fixed. I will or might be watching a dog that will ahve to be taken ot the vet to have her stitches out after having been spayed. There is no place ot mark for a charge like this. Taking a dog to teh vet for soemthign like this is a first for me.I cna understand if teh dog gets sick or something happens ot ti while you are watching it but thsi is almost like taking teh dog for a regular check up to the vet b/c the owner will be out of town. I just want ot make sure it is ok If I say soemthign liek it will be an extra $5 to take the dog to the vet for this esp sionce tehre is no place to mark soemthign such as this.

commented answer Dog walking fee/ communication with client ??

I did last week say I will only walk them for a half hour and they said "I ok" they aren't happy but half hour pay for an hour walk is not right .I don't want ot make them mad and I know I can't please everyone but how do you explain to them about the rates when they get upset about it ?

commented answer Dog walking fee/ communication with client ??

Thanks for the feedback. I have tried to communicate with the client. The client is the type of person who when you try to communicate wit them they don't want to be bothered. I do not liek being a pest to clients.

asked a question Dog walking fee/ communication with client ??

I have a client who wants her 2 dogs walked for an hour 4 days a week but Rover only has half hour rates. I told her I could do 2 half hour walks a day but she wants 1 walk a day for an hour. The client also does not communicate very well We have hit 90+ degree heat and humidity and I felt it wasn't good for the dogs ot be out in that heat for an hour walk I did it 1 day and they were almost over heated. When I wrote and asked her about how long she wanted them walked in the extreme heat she said oh they only last about a half hour but as long as they have water they will be fine. I then said I would be there the next day to walk them for a half hour .I do not think she liked it very much but I don't feel comfortable walking dogs in extreme heat. She never told me what to do for in climate weather such as rain or storms . How do I handle this ?? Esp the paying me for as hour walk at a half hour rate. ??
