How much to charge for house and pet sitting for 3 weeks?

My parents pay a service $85/day to pet-sit in their house for 2 dogs. I credit a friend (who owes me money :-)

$50-$60/day to pet-sit in my house for 2 dogs, a cat and fish.

Boarding around here costs about $35 per pet with no extras.

This is in Richmond, VA.
 
We pay $15 for each 30min visit and when she stays over night its $30 a night. She does however give us a little break if she has to come more than once a day.
 
:) DH 's college aged niece lived at our house for week and took care of a Jack Russell (ours) and a Standard Poodle (my parents). I bought a few things she requested and she had full access to the house--TV, computers, cable. It was awesome we gave her $100 for each dog for the week. We live in South Mississippi. It was worth every penny and I probably would have paid a bit more to make sure our four legged child was well cared for.

I keep a friend's spoiled Chihauhau for free for a weekend from time to time. She sleeps with us and everything. Yep, we are the dog-sleeping-in-bed kind of people.
