| Dog Sitting Hiya I've been asked to dog-sit for 2 weeks by a friend of one of my babysitting clients. She wants me to stay at her house and take care of her dogs at night (they go to dog day care during the day). I'd have to be at her house from 5:45pm to 8:45am but have the days free (2 hours from home though). She said she's happy to pay me an hourly rate so I am happy to do the job How much should I ask for? I normally charge $15 an hour for babysitting and a set rate per night after they are sleeping. |

| I would be sure to charge for whatever it costs you in gas since gas prices are so high, and I'm sure a two hour drive each day will add up quick

| You're rate seems fair to me, but as the other person said if you use up a lot of gas I'd take that into consideration.
