commented answer Multiple dogs for house sitting over holidays?

Thank you for the response. :) I have looked around and have been unable to find where you can change a holiday rate... same with a weekend rate. Any help?

answered a question I am considering filling out an application to become a dog walker/sitter however I would like to know how the pay works?

We get paid through paypal, so having a paypal address is a must.

asked a question Multiple dogs for house sitting over holidays?

Hi fellow sitters... I never set up my rates for multiple dog care in someone else's home, but now that I have a request, I see it is set at 5.00 per night per extra dog. So a request for 5 dogs for 9 nights over Christmas at their home. I am not sure how to deal with that.
Five dogs, 4 of which I will be only compensated 5.00. That seems like so little to me. Plus, I can forget about having time with my own family and pets at Christmas... Or am I just being silly?

Is this even ethical? I agreed, assuming she would pay, but she hasn't yet, but booked with me verbally. I am starting to think that she wants this for free... what is the protocol? Any advice would help! Thanks in advance.

asked a question RAtes for sitting for 5 puppies?

A lady would like me to care for her 5 puppies in my home for five nights. Can we only charge as one dog? Plus, she would like me to have visitors to see the puppies that she might be selling. The whole thing will result in a payment of 150.00 It seems a lot of work because it is five puppies who are only 8 weeks old. Suggestions? Advice? Am I crazy to be considering not doing this? thanks for any tips you can give me!
