asked a question How do I handle being underpaid by a friend?

I was dog sitting for a friend and I would go to his house twice a day. Previously I took care of his dog once a day for $15. Usually I charge per visit. When we discussed payment all that was said was "Should we do the last payment as last time?" And I'm guessing he took it as per day instead of as per visit. Per visit it should have come out to $75 (5 visits) but per day it came out to be $45 (three days). I am not sure how to approach this situation because while he was away he also got me a gift (which he left in San Antonio but ordered another one) and he is a really good friend of mine. Do I tell him that there was a miscommunication? Thank y'all so much.

asked a question New Sitter Question?

Hi, I'm very new to this site. I'm also on http://care.com. On http://care.com you can go out and look for families to sit for. I can't seem to find an option for that on this site, am I missing something or can families only book through you?

commented answer Overnight charge?

I really appreciate this comment! Y'all are awesome on this site!!

commented answer Overnight charge?

Thank you so much for your input! This really helps me out. So would you suggest keeping it at $30 a day for overnight stays as well?

asked a question Overnight charge?

I am about to pet sit for a friend. Last time I charged him $15 per visit. This time I am considering doing $30 per day for 2 visits (10 am & 7pm), but $40 per day if he wants me to do an overnight stay. Is that a good deal on both sides or am I selling myself short? If I stay overnight I won't have to go back over in the morning but will have to go at 7 pm then back over again after that.
