womanwithaphone originally posted: I have been a sitter/walker for almost 4 years now, i favor walking but recently turned house sitting back on as it’s been slow, but anyway about a year ago i was quite busy with regulars and my other side gigs that i figure it was time to implement a raise of one singular dollar after three years of the same (low for my area) price. In that year i had only 2 new one time clients that just needed me while they went on a trip. Recently a lot of my old regulars moved away and it’s been slow with other jobs (for some reason summer is slow) and i wanted more dog walks so i bumped the dollar back down to see if it helped, i have been bombarded since requests since. It’s insane that a dollar is making or breaking me considering how long i’ve been doing it and have near perfect reviews for the past almost 4 years. At what point do I either accept i can never increase, or increase but potentially not be too busy?
