Huge Yay, have housesitting job over New Years. \o/ *dances with excitement*

But was looking at local Tucson businesses that specialise in house/petsitting. Holy flying poop.
$125 for one over night. $72 per night. $180 per night. $18 for a 30 minute visit. $30 for a 60 minute visit

... I just... whoa. That's like hyperventilating panic whoa. They're charging more a night than I do for a week. @_@;;

That's what you get to charge when you go corporate.
If you don't have it, get your licenses and stuff so you can charge more *shiny eyes*

An official 'petsitting licence (http://www.petsitters.org/)' is $300, which I can't currently afford. ^^;; And I'm not entirely sure how much good it would do. o_O

Oh, so it's not a state issued license or anything. Eh... yeah probably not much good unless you were taking on multiple at once.

[ickaimp.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'd never heard of the organisation until someone mentioned a 'petsitting license' and I ran a google for it. o_O

After looking it over, with the exception of some of the birds, I know most of the stuff on there already. It comes from having pets. >_O

Well, you have the advantage of being WAY CHEAPER. They'll loose buiness** way before you do
