Asked by: Celia V. (vuocolocm) 8 months ago

I have an offer standing by from a woman in Whitehouse to watch her elderly dog during different times this summer. I havent gotten the exact details from her in regards to how many times a day she wants me over there...but can someone give me a baseline so I know what to ask for? Or refuse?

Update!!!
I spoke with the woman, and she has 1 elderly dog, 1 cat, 3 ferrets and a bird. She said her old pet sitter (who she can't get anymore cause she's busy) used to charge her 15$ a visit and 45$ if she stayed over night....
That seems really cheap to me!!!
i already agreed to do it, but mentioned I was going to check on the price...I don't want to piss her off because she's the boss of my boyfriend's mom....but that hardly seems worth it! She lives about 20 minutes away...
I have to get back to her soon...what should I ask for?

The kennels in our area when we board our dog get about $20.00 a day. Keep that in mind.
