<prompt> Human: Hi all. I want to thank you for the advice I received last year about my family and personal situation. You all empowered me to change my life dramatically and my family has come a long way too.These days I am doing my dream job a creative job but I also have a side gig I rely on for steady income and it is allowing me to save for my future. Thats why this is a bit of a sticky wicket.I nanny for a mother of one and she is a great fit for me. She is also an entrepreneur and so is her husband and I am learning a lot from her. I think we work well together and I want to keep this job and the good standing we have.This weekend she has asked me to take care of her large and energetic dog as well as her cat and overnight house sit for her. I agreed to this and foolishly did not discuss payment beforehand. I thought we would discuss it when she returned from her trip but in retrospect that was a bit silly of me.The commute I make to get to her costs me about 5 in gas there and back so that is tacked on to my pay whenever I come and nanny. Its an established addition we have already agreed on. When I got to her house there was a note saying thank you and 50 on the table. For my area large city pet sitting has a standard going rate and for overnight pet sitting it is 75 per night. Thats for one pet. For additional pets a 5 fee is added per each night. For a large dog that needs to be walked it is extra for the walks. That varies slightly based on how long the walk is, but I definitely expected to at least be paid the minimum standard 75night. That would be Friday and Saturday night. Plus the extra 5 for the cat each night. 15 to 30 minute walks are 10 to 17 and she needs at least 2 a day.Roughly 210 total if I only charge for 15 min walks.I have no idea how to approach this gross underestimation. Granted I am not required to be here for 24 hours so that may change things I can easily calculate for the exact amount of time because that has a standard going rate as well but I dont want to appear...petty?This woman is awesome most of the time. She is very up front and direct. We have never had any issues and I dont want to make things awkward by asking her for more money. But I agreed to this thinking it would help me out as well as help her out. I decided to not move things into my new apartment this weekend in favor of accepting this job. She knows this. I feel that leaving so little as payment is disrespectful and unfair. But I am afraid that because I didnt discuss it beforehand I have no leg to stand on.What do you think? How can I handle this tactfully? Should I make a formal bill for her? She is the sort of person who does this in her own job but I dont want to appear rude. I also dont want to make her feel as though I dont want to be here by making her aware of exactly how long I was here. Is there anyone here with any experience with this sort of gig? I have one dog walker friend but they work for a manager and strictly walk dogs not pet sit them so I dont know that theyd be able to advise me although I am going to ask.If I dont figure it out I may just swallow it... but I also want to give her a chance to renegotiate with me because I think she wouldnt want me to feel taken advantage of. I think I need some perspective here. Thank you.  <response>: This is just my anecdotal evidence but Ive pet-sit for plenty of people in a major city and Ive never, ever, ever been paid 75night. Between my nanny family and past jobs I average 25-50 a night.
