What To Charge Someone For Dog Sitting Around 20 Dogs/puppies For 6 Days, 3 Hours A Day?

I hope someone can help me figure out what dog sits for free about 20 dogs / puppies. For only 6 days, 2 hours in the morning and an hour in the evening. I have no idea what charge so if someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

do you have to travel far?
i’d say 10 bucks an hour is reasonable if you don’t have to do walks. charge more if you have to travel far (takes longer than 5min drive).
so 30bucks a day, x6 days is 180. maybe ask for $200 even.

10 – 15 bucks!

Are they providing all food and housing? If so, it sounds like a standard checkup visit. I would charge for transportation (if you have to make lots of effort to head on over there) and price per hour of work.
I would charge about $12 per hour if they have mostly adult dogs, or $14 per hour if they have mostly puppies.
I also recommend you request a detailed outline of your duties before you agree on a price. There might be some special care invovled.
