My two cents here.. I think 50 a day is way too much, yes it is work.. but if your home anyway.. think of 25 maybe a day for the two. that adds up to a good chunk of change and take it and buy yourself something that you would not normally do.. lol
at 20 a day, that is 280 for two weeks, round it off to three hundred and treat yourself..
just a thought.. and even if people can afford to go away on a personal trip.. that also takes money away from their spending money..
we all know what is is like to love our babies, and need to feel we are leaving them with good people.. but some cannot afford to pay a fortune.. if they have tons of money well that is different..
I looked after one of my own past puppies for a week last year, did not want anything, they brought us back a shirt from hawaii..

When I worked for a pro handler, I got paid $20.00 per day to take care of 12 to 25 dogs everyday. When I had my dog shown by a pro handler, she charged $10.00 per day.

I think that $15.00 per day is a good figure for two Yorkies.

Well I decided to decline and not sit for the two dogs.

Although I could use the extra money I just think it'll be way too much. Two extra ones are alot and the owner doesn't gate them or anything. I think I would have issues there. Plus they are older dogs and I would just be so worried about them! I guess he also home cooks for them. (there is no way I can do this!!!)

So I decided to pass this time. Thanks everyone for your input and price suggestions. At least I now have an idea on what to charge!

Thanks!!!
