answer:Is he coming to live with you or are you going to him? How many times a day? Will you spend the night together or will he be on his own? My friend pays $$40/day for someone to come three times a day for feeding, walking and playing. She has to drive about 25 minutes round trip each time. There is no training involved. You could certainly charge extra for any serious training. This is a rural area so the rates might be low compared to a city. I bet dog walkers and trainers in Manhattan have higher rates. What difference does your choice of abode make? Yurt or mansion, your job description is still the same.
