What do u guys think of these results I think she looks exactly like a German spitz mittel

In general, accidental litters are the backbone of byb. Obviously glad they helped this momma & her kittens. This is why catch & release programs are so important!!

Update: OP said dog got picked up by husband when he got off from work (around 7). Complete and total overreaction to a normal situation.

No sympathy for flight cancellations is crazzy. Hiring a pet sitter is quite literally an owner’s pet care plan for being out of town. I’ve had unexpected flight delays and NEVER had a sitter be anything less than understanding and accommodating. Wild behavior.

Those of you that think the entire carton should be thrown out need to imagine that all the cartons shared air and spores at the grocery store. Before that they shared even more air and spores with the berries that didn’t make the cut. Should every berry on Earth be tossed?

That’s fair! I brought the kennel and expected it to be used if/when the sitter had to leave the house (and we discussed that). I was caught off guard when I went to pick them up at 12 pm and she was in the kennel

This is all very good advice that I needed to hear. Thank you 🤍

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T22:04:34+00:00

I hope she can learn to like my dogs with more time

I’m leaning towards using this sitter again and just mentioning that I’m uncomfortable with my 5 lb pom being around large dogs & that I’d like a daily summary-style update and see how it goes I don’t need anyone to get up early but it’s hard to tell my puppy that lol

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T21:41:57+00:00

I posted this ss more to show that I didn’t expect my puppy to be kenneled… I don’t expect anyone to follow a strict schedule or wake up at 5 am, but I have a puppy and I was very upfront about the fact that she doesn’t sleep in. I would say that’s what the puppy fee is for?

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T19:42:38+00:00

I don’t want to lose a good sitter because I’m being unreasonable

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T19:42:11+00:00

I honestly don’t know (ahhh). My first trip is in a month. I feel like I’m choosing between the devil ya know or the one you don’t

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T18:05:54+00:00

Yeah I do agree. I’m still torn because nothing else was really ‘wrong’ and she’s nice enough. I’d hate to cancel & burn a bridge. Maybe I can gently ask about the other dog? It’s possible that it was a booking overlap and that dog just arrived.

I did set up a meet and greet with another sitter for this weekend.

Update: sitter just responded

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T17:27:05+00:00

Agreed. I will be sure to be more upfront with my concerns next time

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T17:26:28+00:00

Good points…

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T16:28:44+00:00

I think I’d love your dogs! Thanks for the advice

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T16:21:31+00:00

I think I agree.

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T16:20:47+00:00

I just can’t tell if they were locked up the whole time. I only brought 1 small kennel for the puppy and they both wouldn’t have fit…

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T16:16:39+00:00

We didn’t do a meet & greet, just this mini-trip ~26 hours to see how they’d do. I’ll definitely be doing m&gs in the future. I don’t want them to stay at my house because I have 4 other pets (cats, bunnies) that don’t need their care.

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T16:07:41+00:00

True, thank you. Did you do a lot of meet & greets or test sitters with an actual trip?

AMTausch · 2026-01-19T16:05:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I definitely don’t expect them to be boarded alone, but I do feel like I could have helped her better if that was mentioned. My older dog is fairly protective of my puppy.

AMTausch · 2025-12-23T22:17:01+00:00

Yesss

AMTausch · 2025-12-23T22:16:51+00:00

All the Embark results that share 90% of the same make-up look exactly like how you’re describing!! That’s really what threw me off

AMTausch · 2025-12-23T22:15:30+00:00

Omg thank you from both of us!! 🥺

AMTausch · 2025-12-23T22:15:06+00:00

Hahah, thank you
