Its for 2 dogs, and they will be gone for 4 nights. I also live across the street and I work the graveyard shift, so I will be sleeping in the daytime with occasional walks.

Wow Thanks for all the great answers, back in springtime, I walked the 2 dogs for 3 weeks, someone else stayed at house. I was paid around $75. and also received souvenirs.

How many pets? If three or more, I'd charge at least $15.00/day.
I have a pet sitter that comes once a day b/c I started work last fall and before that was a stay at home mom. It was going to be a long day for my two dogs and three cats. She gets $40.00/week to come in and just walk the dogs and make sure there is water.
If a sitter has spent the night, it is usually $5.00 per pet per night, but I live outside Houston. It may be different depending where you live and how close you are to your neighbors, friend-wise, too.

It depends on how big the dogs are and how much of a friend this is to you. A vet (depending on size and where you live) will charge
$9 to $15/day per dog and the dogs would be kept in cages the whole time except for occasional walks, so take in the fact that you are doing a second job, the size of the dogs and the friendship and either quote a price or ask them what they are willing to pay. There are so many different circumstances in this question, it's hard to give you an exact price.

Depends upon the length of time you stay there. Time is money.
My fee would be comparable to whatever else I'd be doing if I weren't House-Sitting/ Pet Sitting.
That constitute 2 Jobs BTW. How well do you know this
neighbor? Make sure you & the neighbor do a walk through before you take the job. It could be a set-up.
I'd charge $50. per day at least.

It's depends on what the pet is, it's a african male lion i will ask for $55 per hour, if it's a lion baby i will do it for free because they are so cute. if it's snake, i will bring a sunglasses, and if it's some gold fish, i will bring some fish food, if it's a giant panda, i will bring some bamboo and my sleeping mask, anyway, i will see what the pets are first then ask for the money. and remember to bring some sleeping pill just in case if the animals gets noisy when you sleep. or you can birng a ear plug, or tight a string round the pet's neck, not so tight so that they suffocate and leave any mark for the owner to find out,

It depends how long they are going to be away and how many pets. I have 3 dogs and gave our dog sitter $300 for a 7 day stay. He was a great sitter and of course, cleaned out our fridge:)
