Hi Lisa, This is just to put in my two cents worth on the number of visits you are asking about. Personally, my record is 27 visits in one day, that's total visits not the number of individual clients. I've come close to that many times since but 27 stands as the most visits in one day. As for "raking in the bucks", perhaps that's true but taking that many clients also makes for 17 hour pet sitting days. That's hard no matter how much you like your work.
