I charge $65 for one pet to stay overnight and $75 for 2 or more pets and don't have trouble getting it from those requyesting the service. I mean if you are charging $30 for the sits that is another $35 to stay the night and be away from home I think is well deserved. I refuse to sit overnight for those who want me to stay 24/7 at their home. I charge $15-20 a regular sit.
