There are a couple of reasons why I choose to set lower prices, the first one being that I genuinely enjoy being able to care for other peoples pets and consider it a joy to do so. The second reason, is that pet and house sitting in London specifically, is useful to me for my work. Being able to stay in London for longer periods gives me more time and opportunities to meet with producers, other writers and engage in courses and networking. I therefore see this as more of a mutually beneficial arrangement - this is why I ask that animals can be left for a minimum of 4 hours at a time, so that I have opportunities to nip into town for meetings etc should the need arise. This is not every day of course, as the majority of the time I work from the house; but the lower fees are enough to cover my travel costs and expenses and in exchange, you get a reliable animal lover who will spend lots of time with your pet and keep your home clean and safe.
