📌 Pricing Tips

💰 Raise rates gradually. Increase 10–15% per year — most clients won't leave for a trusted walker. Give 30-day notice.
🏙 Geographic multipliers. NYC, SF, LA: add 40–60% to the ranges. Rural areas: subtract 20–30%.
📦 Bundle for loyalty. Monthly packages (e.g., 20 walks for $360 instead of $400) keep clients committed and smooth your income.
💸 Go direct when possible. Rover/Wag take 20–25%. At your current volume, routing clients direct saves you —/mo in fees.
🎯 Break-even first. Your break-even point (Profit tab) is your floor. Price above it, not at it.
