I do 1/2hr walk for &pound;6, cat visits for feeding &pound;5 a visit, looking after horses/chickens etc &pound;15 for 2 visits a day (usually take 45mins in total) and doggie housesitiing with 2 walks a day I only charge &pound;15 and bring all my own food!..don&#39;t have the guts to charge more when people have been paying me that for years, would charge more to cover petrol if it was far away tho.</p> <p>I say charge as much as you can to start with cus its hard to increase it once you get to know people, and when advertising make a big thing about being a vetnurse cus it definitly sways people and they will regularly ask you for advice!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/68782?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:14:08 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:62efeac0-cfff-45c6-a0e0-2adc7d86a7e5Kathryn Welsh<p>As a student i was doing pet sitting on the side. If i was just going to feed cats i charged 5 a visit and same for rabbits. But if i was living in with dogs i charged roughly 25 a day - and asked for the fridge to be stocked! Did a 3week stint at house with 2 dogs, 2 cats and chickens - was on 35 a day and she left me 100 to use on groceries and petrol (as it was further to work) - really helped top up the student wages!!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/68763?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:42:52 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:4bbe2786-ac19-4ba8-a02f-4de6fe377105Nikki Graef<p>A VN friend of mine does it, she charges around &pound;10 an hour, usually does 2 at a time if they are good with other dogs or from the same home or 1 on its own if not. </p> <p>She also does cat visits/feeding and small pets cleaning/feeding etc and charges between &pound;6 and &pound;10 a visit.</p> <p>Its a great way to make more money!! She is insured as well</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/68751?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:37:40 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:43345cb9-7f6d-4fb7-9424-933d2daf6c19Maisy<p>I know&nbsp;somebody near me who does it (she walks a few dogs in&nbsp;our village) and charges &pound;12 per walk for 2 dogs from the same home. If there are more dogs in the home she charges a bit extra but I think she only walks two at a time. None of this 15 dogs from different homes lark! She is&nbsp;also insured.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
