Why do people charge more for visits than walks?
Post Body

So, I just did research of other successful Rover sitters in my area, so as to know what to shoot for eventually (pricing wise). I looked at about twenty people that had over 50 reviews. Almost all of them charge more for drop-in visits than they do for walking, and I don't understand. It seems to me that walking is not only more work, but also has a higher risk of problems/stress (the dog getting away, another dog coming out of nowhere and attacking, etc), not to mention it has you in the hot sun most of the time (I live in Florida, so it gets super hot here). So...was just wondering for some insight / reasoning of why people would charge more for visits, when it seems like that's the easier / more lax of the two.

Genuinely curious. Just trying to understand.
