Hi everyone,
I started walking dogs about a year and a half ago and really enjoyed having a job where I can hang out with animals.
Reciently, I started dog walking/pet sitting again and some people who inquired have said my rates were too high. These are the same rates I charged when I started and no one batted an eye about it. I have a feeling that there are so many dog walkers/pet sitters now that they are undercutting each other.
I would like to know what the people here charge and if you are experiencing the same as me when you tell people your rates.
Thanks everyone.
Damiana

Wed, February 11, 2004 - 2:58 PMI charge $20 for an hour walk with the group. I've been told this is about avarage. Do you do pet sitting? I think that's really where I'm having the problem. -

I would charge anywhere from $35-45 per day.
