[Dailydrool] dogsitting

[Sylvie McGee]

Hi, Kacy,

 

This is the going rate, and not the top rate, in my area of Washington
State. In Seattle proper, an hour north, it’s higher.

 

But for $50/night I get someone here 12 hours a day, providing both care and
medication to 4 dogs. If I had to board them, I’d be at closer to $80/day at
best. So while it’s stiff, it’s still doable.

 

Obviously, though, I try to limit my travel...and as a result, my carbon
footprint for showing my dogs tends to be large – because I drive back and
forth each day if it’s under a 2 ½ hour drive each way....

Wow, Sylvie, I want to work for you, $50/night!!! I feel like I got jipped.
:) 

 

In college I house/dog sat for a woman with one well behaved cuddly cocker
spaniel. I was paid $25/night. I went to the house after work, fed, walked,
played with the dog, etc and spent the night. Did the same in the morning
before leaving for school. I believe she also had a neighbor teen come by
mid-day for a walk but I dont what she paid for that.

 

This week I recieved an email from my sister in Az, her friend moved to San
Diego and travels for work a lot, often 8-12 days in a row. She is currently
paying $40/night but can't afford it so was looking for something cheaper.
I'm too busy to help but referred her to a friend of mine who will be doing
it for $25-30/night. 

 

Hope this helps, Good luck!

she's got US to take care of now!)
