my neighbor to watch Sal so that I can go to the commissary(grocery store) on pay day.

CollegeCutieUSF · 12-12-2007, 05:11 AM

Well.... I'd do it for free, but going by what dog sitters charge, that's not too much at all.

dog sitters charge?

tinav · 12-12-2007, 05:16 AM

It's a little high for someone who is not in business of dog sitting but if you can trust that she will take good care of him and watch that he doesn't run out of her house then it would work for me if you really needed to get out.

Dog sitters in NJ charge anywhere form $10 to $25 per walk.

Good luck on shopping on payday at the commissry.....

lol, are you sure 4 hours is enough time??lol. .....I went on payday last time, it was crazy.........anyways, why do you need a dog sitter for 4 hours?

Is your baby ill? How old is the puppy? Can he/she be left in a crate or I leave mine in the laundry room with pee pads, water, food, and their beds of course. Good Luck, but I think $12.50 isn't too bad

8 weeks old and I worried if something happen while I am gone. I would not be there to help. I also concern about leaving him for long periods of time with the older dog. Since we are still having issues about Sal being in the house.

I think $3.00/hr for peace of mind (if it's someone you can trust) is a bargain!

awwwwwwww she is just a little baby, I think it's worth it to pay the money if you really trust this person, You would be worried the whole time about her. I would pay, specially if there are other dogs that might hurt her, Good luck in your decision

A bargain for sure. Have fun buying lots of goodies

Beckyhebert · 12-12-2007, 05:33 AM

No

Nikki+2 · 12-12-2007, 06:48 AM

I think it's an extremely reasonable price.

shelbell77 · 12-12-2007, 10:03 AM

My pet sitter is $16 for a 45 minute visit.

littlewhip · 12-12-2007, 10:06 AM

Sounds good to me

as long as you have that peace of mind, then I say yes

its so worth it

Tiggerwit · 12-12-2007, 10:07 AM

I think it's fair. Can you sneak him in in a front carrier? I've got one for Alphy, sometimes I can get him to lay in it and snooze. People just think it's a baby carrier.
