I thought of letting my DD, who will be 14 next week, start a little pet sitting service in the neighborhood. I was looking on line at rates, but we are talking about a kid here maybe to just let the dog out, clean the litterbox, feedings, stuff like that. Does $6/visit sound reasonable? I wondered about charging extra if they want the dog taken for a walk, etc.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. My DD thought that sounded like a lot of money until I told her what a kennel charges and that most people would rather pay extra to be able to leave their dog at home. My neighbor comes over 4x/day to take care of our dogs when we go off (and we take care of his as well), but I would gladly pay someone $24/day to do that and consider it a bargain.
