At this time, my overnight and 24-hour live-in care rates are priced well below the average market rate. Due to recent family changes, I am not currently accepting bookings for these services.
When I resume offering overnight and live-in care, my rates will be adjusted to reflect the rising cost of living, current economic conditions, and the level of experience and quality of care I provide. While I strive to keep my services as affordable as possible and do not enjoy increasing prices, these adjustments are necessary to ensure my pricing accurately reflects the value of my services.
Take a look at the average rates for pet-sitting visits in the U.S. and Canada.
