commented question Got (Rover) Swag?

I purchased the older style of the car door magnets and kept them on my car for roughly 2-3 months and didn't acquire a single client. I was genuinely surprised; I live in a large metroplex and drive 300-400 miles each week. I have Rover business cards and my own business cards.

asked a question Client wants to pay $50 for overnight visits, has 10 animals - would you do it?

I had someone reach out to me and they have 10 animals. 4 dogs, 2 cats, a rabbit and 3 lizards.

I've never had someone with a variety of animals contact me looking for overnight sitting, or with so many animals. I was unsure of what to tell her my rate would be but she says that she would typically pay $50 per night for overnight sitting. (Our area averages between $30-$40 per night usually.)

My rate is $35 for one dog, $15 for each additional - so on & so forth. My cat rate is $5 per night assuming that I will be there with dogs anyways. I don't really have a rate for rabbits or lizards. For most visits, there are usually two dogs so that's $50 alone.

I don't want to turn down this opportunity to experience something new but at the same time, this will definitely be more time consuming from a cleaning aspect.

Any thoughts or advice would be great, thank you.

commented answer Have you purchased any marketing materials from the Rover store? What was your favorite/most successful?

Do you leave your card on the aisles near the dog food, or will they allow you to put them at the check-out counters?
