Thanks, Gloria! Since she's a kid, we didn't feel like she could charge what an adult charges, but we just weren't sure what to charge. Also, we live in the south, in a rural area, and things are cheaper around here. I know a 16 yr. old who was in a class I taught at an arts program, and she does this in her neighborhood, so I'm going to ask her what she charges and compare.

She checks on my puppy and my parrot, cleans their bowls, puts fresh food and water, and changes the paper lining in the bird cage (if more than 2 days), picks up the newspaper, plays with Cesar, she would also include walking him but I don't want that (I worry about accidents happening). If I am gone a long time, she will also water my plants. At that price, I have her come in the morning and my son does the evening duties (after he gets home from work).
