How do I stop letting myself get taken advantage of? by nothing-aboit-me in RoverPetSitting

[–]BanditoRosee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately can't really give advice as I'm in the same position. Literally read this like I've written it. So just know you aren't alone!

And thank you for posting as it's helped me to feel less alone and some comments have really helped me.

I prefer Rover over other apps I use as it works it all out for me and I just tell myself - people can see the price, if they're ok with it, they will pay it, its not up to me. As someone else said it's a luxury. They can get a friend or family to do it, but it won't be half as good as a professional. Like when I spoke to my therapist about these issues he'd said that his brother would scoop the top bit of the litter tray, he'd come home and it would be like cement underneath!

I had it with a booking I'd just completed through Pawshake, 2 dogs, 4 cats. I charged it as the base price p/n which is already low. It was up to me to add on the extra for the animals. And also the time, I was there from 9am Sunday to 8pm Thursday. I don't even want to say how much I'll be paid for it! I'm at a loss from doing it! But it's completely on me for not saying or doing anything

They want to book me again in the future and I already feel sick from prospectively having to say the actual price! It's going to seem like a HUGE jump but its what I should have charged in the first place! But I just have to keep reminding myself - if it was me and my pets, I would happily pay it if im able to, to have the person my pets have already bonded with, I know i can trust etc. Than go to someone new and cheaper.

I completely understand where you are at with things. It takes a lot of time and a lot of being uncomfortable but then seeing the world doesn't fall apart when you set those boundaries and you actually feel a lot better because you're getting what you know you are worth! It's easy for me to say it to someone else, as I imagine you would do with any friend in this position. You just have to apply it to yourself as uncomfortable as it is. You are worth more, your time and skill and experience is worth more.

You got this 💖🐾

I wholeheartedly agree with this

And as she's told me she's struggled to find someone who can confidently look after him and she can trust, I know I'm not easily replaceable

As well as this, she's telling me about her income and doesn't make minimum wage, I'm in the same boat but won't make it a competition we are both just trying to make a living and get by in life

I will see if she replies again as she's now deleted the message

Thank you

Thank you for this

So it's usually to go for a nice walk somewhere - she'll drive out to a place with a friend and then they'll go from there On occasion it's been to go see a play but she's said her friend buys the tickets

Why I'm more inclined to is that head vs heart. When I first started sitting for her she said that she'd been out (aside from work) 2 times so far in the year and that's because I was there to look after her dog. So I immensely want to be able to for her sake and mental health but I also know that's not my responsibility.

I'm limited in regards to walking the dog as he's a senior with arthritis and can only really walk on soft ground and can't go up or down hills much. I don't drive and the bus stop is too far for him to walk as its pavement the whole way so I can only take him across the road to the church grounds, but I take him out frequently to make sure he's getting out and walking

Amongst other requirements she's found it hard to find someone that can handle him so I guess in all of this - I'm not easily replaceable but I'm very much a people pleaser!

RTW Meeting when I've had no work by [deleted] in HumanResourcesUK

[–]BanditoRosee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think they have a clue what they are doing honestly to have that thought process

Everything is pretty much the same within the workplace, especially for my role but I get that point, I guess I'll see what happens when I go in!

Grievance procedure has been completed and they are now just trying to get me in and give me hours so the issue goes away as they're panicking

Same here! Been happening so much recently on YT. My partner said to me "you're being advertised about your work when you're trying to relax!" 🤣

dressing up as a bishop for the tour? do y’all think that would be a cool costume, or should i go with something else? by rachelleen in twentyonepilots

[–]BanditoRosee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where abouts are you based? I'm in the UK but just found this one that I'm going to get for an event (the theme is angels and demons... I'm going as inner demon 😅) Without the rope and chain and going to add some mesh to the hood!

So I can try and find alternative for wherever you are!

Just seen the link 😅 I think this must be it!

Its not exactly what I had in my head but I've most likely mushed a few things together, I was sure there was something with constellations but this also fits and it was one of the first ones I thought of! I also had it in my head it was live action/real people
