For a child/teen with no formal training, no business license, and no bonding or insurance, I'd pay about $5 for you to let my dog out. I wouldn't leave a teen in full responsibility of my pets unless I personally knew and trusted you.How much should i charge for taking care of pets?Don't expect people to pay more than a $1/hr or $8/day.

Ask ur customers abot how much they can comfotably pay. If u charge too much, that will be the last time time u see em unless they are filthy rich. Charge too little they will take advantage of u. I suggest about 5 bucks an hour or like 30 for the whole day. U also want them to provide pet food so keep the price a little lower the average.How much should i charge for taking care of pets?
Call around to businesses that do the kind of pet care services you want to do. Ask them for their rates. Use this information to get an idea of the going rate in town. Since you're a kid with no business overhead and just doing this for money on the side you can get away with charging less. Consider averaging out each business price then making your own rate at 1/3 to 1/2 off. Run these numbers by your parents and see if they think you're being reasonable-not too high but not too low then go from there. Print up flyers to post up around town especially at vet's offices and groomers on the corkboards they often have for pet-related service ads.
