Hi,
Welcome to the wonderful world of pet sitting! I charge a flat fee of $15 per visit for vacationers and $12 per visit for my daily commuters. I like to keep things simple so my fee does not go up according to gas prices or milage. If there are other sitters in your area you may want to check with them as to how much they are charging. You don't want to undercharge, as you might piss them off, and you don't want to price yourself out of the market by overcharging. I hope this helps. Good luck!!
