Family are the first to take advantage of you just because y’all are related… I say charge them.. but offer the F&F discount
Lmao at SSM1 projecting their feelings about couples wanting to go away on holidays while they have kids. What’s so wrong with that? If the people sign up to help, that’s their prerogative. Who forced you to watch their kids mate? You sound like an unreasonably selfish person that regrets their own decisions and now projecting on others. Calm down.

If you aren't raised in American culture, more often than not, you find reason to say thank God! This is one of them. Very strange to charge your own family for something as simple as watching their pet. WEIRD!

@SM, do not bring your BS to my inbox, you desperate attention seeker.
So what was the verdict? Did you read all this LOL
I did not read all of it. Most of it tho 🤣
If they can expense it and you plan on paying taxes on it, go for it.
My family hasn't charged me in the past. However, I've left them money or food and tried to provide snacks since they are not in their normal place of living and may not feel comfortable cooking in our place.
Charge them on credit with a 30% APR
Yeah you’re petty
Wow, that tells a lot about your relationship with your family. I would never ever think about to charge my family when they ask for help.
Have your mum ever asked you for compensation changing your stinky diapers? 🤣
200+ comments and y’all still think I’m charging my mom. It’s my sisters dogs, my mom just had an opinion about it.
No, you should not charge them. If they want to give you money, then you can accept it. If it is too much of a burden, don't say yes next time.
I wouldn’t charge my parents, but I also like them and their dogs. Knowing them they’d bring me a gift or take me out for a nice dinner or something to say thank you.

It’s his doctor sister married to another doctor with 3 dogs.
No it’s not rude. Charge them and if your mom gives you grief because they’re family, then she can come and dog sit for free.
I find usually people who scream the loudest “but it’s family!!!” stop when they’re the ones that need to step up.
My neighbour is watching my dog for free when I travel for work, just a random stranger!!!
What is wrong with you? Staying or not staying at your apartment for those 2 weeks you still need to pay rent.
Plus it’s your own mother that raised your ass.
Manager 7, one of my sisters kids are allergic to cats so I wouldn’t do that! Also I don’t feel like dealing with the anxiety pets have when you introduce a new animal
No, this is inconvenient. Charge them. They are probably paying you after they get back anyways.
My mom watches my dog, but she loves it. He stays at her house and she looks forward to it (he's ridiculously cute and silly). She does it for free, but I always bring her back a nice gift as a thank you.
Was there an agreement prior to dog sitting that they’ll pay? Or you’re charging for the inconvenience? I wouldn’t term it rude nor will I charge a family member to answer the question.
No. Absolutely not. Your time is valuable. Politely ask how much you will be compensated for the 2 weeks.
Nope not rude at all that’s a long time. If ur mom sent the dog to a boarding place for pets, I’m sure the fee your charging is much less so… keep the funds in the family or go elsewhere point blank. My parents assume because they are my parents I should do thing for them for free… I don’t think so. I do things out of the kindness of my hard not EVERYTHING
I pet/house sit for my aunt and uncle when they go on extended vacations (they’re about 20-40 min away dependent on traffic), but I don’t ask for monetary payment— our agreement is they stock up on food/drinks for while I’m living there, which in todays economy probably costs more than what they’d pay someone to dog sit if we’re being honest. I bring my dogs over and my WFH setup, and think of it as a staycation in a new house/new area that I can go out and explore a different part of town.
Love the stock the fridge idea, that is perfect
I say in turn it’s rude for the family to not offer compensation… I have gone on family trips before and paid people to stay at our house many times… that being said charge them. It’s more about the principle of it rather than how much money it is tho at the end.

You can always just say no.

Haha, here in our country, parents don’t ask favor. They just order. And there is silence and unsaid sense of acceptance. all compromises, all adjustments, all sacrifices are inherent part of this command and are done behind the curtain. But we enjoy it, because it makes them feel that we belong to them and they belong to us. So just do what they say…. If they are happy, we are happy
It’s something you always talk about before you do it. For some things it should be payment, other’s not. Family is there for eachother.
