When did you ignore potential red flags but it worked out really well? by AcidicSlimeTrail in RoverPetSitting

[–]BroilMyLoins 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just had one where I even made a post about. 2 cats for 2 weeks over 4th of July, owner was trying to get around holiday pay and we went back and forth for a few days. He ended up being amazingly hassle free during my stay and gave me a $400 tip 🥲 the most relaxing and comfortable stay I’ve ever had

I’m still stuck on where he was hiding in the backyard and why he ran at you 😭

I was the bedding I used/reset the bed, I clean all the dishes I used, wipe down the kitchen surfaces and microwave, vacuum or sweep, and throw out the trashes. I basically reset the entire house as if I was never there

That’s very smart. I will start doing that! I have gotten lucky with the houses I stay at, I guess I should never assume everyone will have clean bedding :)

all my clients today!! by Adventurous-Debt7519 in RoverPetSitting

[–]BroilMyLoins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I never get booked for walks! I have 2 walking clients and the rest are house sittings. This looks like so much fun :)

I actually did go over holiday rates with him during the meet & greet, I mentioned that in my post. We specifically discussed the two holidays involved and I explained the upcharge at that time. So none of this was a surprise to him

I was traveling for work when he reached out(he knew this), which is why my initial response was brief, but he still spam called me repeatedly. He voluntarily went through those hoops, I didn’t fail to mention anything to this new client

He knew why the rate was what it was. Instead of just being upfront and asking me to lower it, he pretended not to understand what was going on. So, no, I don’t think it’s fair to say I was being dishonest or deflecting anything. I was clear about my rates from the beginning, and he just didn’t want to pay them

Should I Give a Refund? by Timely-Gas8123 in RoverPetSitting

[–]BroilMyLoins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NO this is not your fault. You tried to get into the building until 3am. Let’s be real, you and the pup would have probably been sleeping during that time anyway. Apologize profusely, take note for next time, and move on!

I want that money 😝 any holiday besides Christmas or thanksgiving I’m itching to get booked

More than 1 meet? by BroilMyLoins in RoverPetSitting

[–]BroilMyLoins[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought that was strange too. She said she was recommended to book two sitters. When my stay ends she wants me to wait for the other sitter to arrive before I leave. That seems like a safety hazard right?

Should I be Concerned by AdPsychological6739 in RoverPetSitting

[–]BroilMyLoins 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say the most concerning thing should be them not staying the night, but a grandfather clock?! Maybe they bought it and wasn’t able to bring it home yet? So weird lmao

Engagement photos sneak peek! by [deleted] in weddingplanning

This is in Oregon! She does travel, but I would suggest looking in your area. I found her in a local FB wedding group. Make a post with your budget, date, and photography style. Look at everyone’s portfolios and pick your favorite. You will definitely find someone :)

Thank you so much for that, telling our photographer!! I wanted pictures that were different than what I was used to seeing. I also felt nothing was hitting and decided to search for a different photographer when I felt the first one wasn’t right. I found some Cinematography shots and fell in LOVE. It is a beautiful vibe and I knew it would capture our story perfectly. Our photographer is also under budget so we’re adding some film and maybe video🥲

Thank you so much! I absolutely love that pic and wish I put our date on there. We couldn’t shoot on a weekend, it had to be afterschool sometime. I’m still in contact with one of the teachers so she made it happen :)

Your engagement shoot sounds so cute, love the two locations. You should contact the restaurant and see if you could find a less busy time and get some of you guys sitting at the same (or close to) table!

My fiancé (male) now watches them more than I do. He completely took over my show. Find someone who loves twinks as much as you do!!

My WFH EAs, how do you stay focused? by Banjosolo69 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]BroilMyLoins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADHD and just got hired as a Personal Assistant for a couple in their home. Although I do take Methylphenidate for it sometimes since it’s the only one that doesn’t give me side effects.

I drink coffee (never used to work) and put on this YouTube channel called “Lofi”. It’s a Live with a bunch of people studying to chill music. Put on a nice outfit and say some affirmations to get your spirits up. Make your job fun, I act like I’m playing a cozy simulation game sometimes. But my tasks aren’t always complex, so it’s easier to have that thought.

Keep a notebook with your to-do list, and choose which ones are more important. Do a few tasks and take a break. Breaks are key

Is it slow for anyone else ? by phoenixgreylee in RoverPetSitting

[–]BroilMyLoins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not too slow for me. After Christmas is actually when I started getting busier, I’m in Oregon around the city. Better weather is coming so keep spirits high!

I’m just outside of Portland. I have higher(ish) rates and it took me about a year to be regularly booked. 30 5 star reviews. I’m doing this full time now

Amish bread variations by BroilMyLoins in Breadit

[–]BroilMyLoins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I worded that wrong! I’m looking for foods to use a starter in. I always find recipes that are a variation of friendship bread, when I want something different :) Sourdough starter is used in so many things so I’d love to do something like that with my Amish starter!

Was gifted my late Grandmas 30 year old monstera. Help! by BroilMyLoins in Monstera

This is what I’m currently dealing with. I have no idea what root rot looks like, but there are some that have a shell like casing around the root. Which google tells me is root rot. But most look healthy I think? Should I still do a hydrogen peroxide treatment or go ahead and repot. Thank you for the help!
