I had posted a few petsitting ads back on Kijiji, I had a lady email me this morning. I just emailed her back with my rates, and duties. I am hoping she picks me, but it's a town further north than myself about 30 minutes. The couple I currently pet sit for chare $35.00 a day and a 20 minute drive. So I said $45.00 for the petsitting, and walking.

I don't think that is a bad rate to ask for. Hopefully she will pick you, as it's really not all that bad. She has to take into consideration you have to drive a bit. Things like that are usually like around $10 an hour down here. I mean babysitting is, and usually people charge about the same to pet sit.

If your in the city they charge less, but around here seeing as the drive is a lot longer, you charge a little more.

I have a friend who is a vet. tech and she does pet sitting as well. I think it will be awesome if you get another pet setting job it will bring in some extra money for you. I think you are earning a good amount at $35 a day. Let us know if you get the job.

I hope you get it. That's some really good money for pet sitting and walking. There is nothing lazy about you Ricki. I'm so proud of your work ethic.
