how much should you get for babysitting dogs for weekend?

[tashamjoy]

Ok I am just wondering I am babysitting two dogs this weekend friday thru monday and I am staying at this house about 10 minutes away from my house and 10 minutes further to my work. So i have to walk these dogs every 4 hours because they do not have a fence and they wake me up at 6 am which i am not a morning person i have turtles to feed also. How much should they pay me I just do not think anything under 50 is worth it i am not trying to be greedy but like the gas alone is probably costing me 10 or 15 dollars , plus i have to stay overnight here which i am not thrilled about in a house alone by myself and with dogs sleeping on top of me so not able to sleep well. I just think 100 would be right what do you guys think?

You're already doing it and you didn't work out how much to charge before you started?  I think it's a little late to try to get a bunch of money

I know that the doggy day care up the block charges sixty dollars for the puppies to sit there from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM. They have playtime with other puppies and access to a swimming pool.  A neighbor of mine offered me fifty dollars a day to watch his one dog (cash without taxes).  One of my old clients walks dogs five or six times a day and makes thirty five thousand (cash) a year which I verified by looking at her checking statements. I think you are in line asking for one hundred dollars.
