  How much to charge a friend to sit her boxer for at least a month?

  It’s not that I don’t want to watch the dog, I love the dog and love my friend and I want to help her anyway I can. As I said, I would still watch the dog even if she couldn’t pay me anything. But the reason I was contemplating compensation is because I’ll have to forgo alot of opportunities that I would normally seize, like traveling or being able to go out and do general stuff. I always watch all of my friends dogs and all of my friend’s friends dogs and have never asked for money in return. I am the exact person you would want to watch your dog, I absolutely adore dogs. But an entire month to take over someone’s responsibility and donate my own time seems like a long time. I love for people to drop their dogs off at my place for weekends or even weeks at a time. Am I a bad friend to ask that I be compensated? I know I would certainly want to help my friend if they were helping me, especially with such a large task. I do believe in karma and always treat others the way I would want to be treated. Are these comments how you guys would actually approach the situation if you were in my shoes? Because if I was just reading a post like this on the web I would say the same things you all said without actually considering being the needs of the caregiver. Then again, maybe the reason this is weighing so heavily on me and why I’ve been freaking out about this and doing research for an entire day is because I know I shouldn’t ask for anything and simply help a friend out. THIS IS KILLING ME!!!
