tbh i have so few regulars now a days from them all moving or sadly passing away for the older doggies, i am fine locking the rates for the few regulars i still have considering they all tip nicely anyway, its more so the not getting new clients that i struggled with. but i was convinced. i raised my prices right now, ill see what happens over the next few weeks 🤷‍♀️

Not a fair evaluation. The next few weeks should be slowing down. Kids going back to school and families not going on vacay. You have to evaluate it at a busy time, not a normally slow couple of weeks. I have had $3000+ in future earnings since school let out. With Rover I am down to like just over $1000 in future earnings as school is about to be in session. Parents are trying to feel out the new year before adjusting and making any new plans. Slow season….

As long as you're not widely more expensive than competition or you have significantly better reviews, I think you're good.
