Oh, you don't want to know - it's that cheap
She charges by the visit - $10 per. She does it according to how far she lives from you and I think the highest is $15 or $20. Thankfully she lives in my subdivision. I have her come at least twice a day. Yep - that's $20 a day for 4 dogs AND a cat. I don't need it but she also offers to pick up your paper/mail, turn the lights on and off and water plants. I don't think you'll find anyone THAT inexpensive but with 3 dogs I bet it will be less than the boarder.
When Meg was sick once, I had her come three times a day. She is WONDERFUL. She's a member of some dog sitter group that checks out the sitters and is bonded. Heck, she's had a key to my house so long that when I locked myself out once, I called her!
I've been recuperating from minor surgery and she's been taking care of them while I've been home - it's weird to have her do that when I'm here, but I can't bend over or have them on my lap so it's been needed. She can NEVER RETIRE!!!
I'll find out what organization she's a member of and post it tomorrow. It really has been great.
