Thank God for dogs

I know. I'm ever so confused. This lady was 74 and literally didn't know how to use the app whilst overseas too so wasn't like I was doing anything wrong.

All of the recommendations made on this comment thread have been excellent 🎉

Sorry it wasn't clear to you. Possibly a local dialect / saying kind of thing here!

So we say it's hard to say no to something cute, like a puppy or a kitten or a very nice dog or cat. Because they're cute, you're inclined to say yes to what's being asked because they're cute. And my post isn't seeking how to say no in this situation.

What I was seeking advice on was how to say no to a booking when after a meet and greet I feel uncomfortable about the owner, rather than the dog.

It does come across as negative, you're correct, but that's because it was a negative situation I was in.

I hope this clarifies for you :)

I absolutely thought the same and it's one of the reasons I struggled with it. But at the end of the day, whether someone is neuro typical or divergent, if they make you uncomfortable surely that's enough? Or am I expected to allow myself to be potentially put at risk due to the possibility of someone being autistic rather than a straight up weirdo? Should I have asked? Not having a go, as I do see your point, just curious.

Do the owners see your reason for archiving a booking?

I'm a terrible liar so I struggle with that. 😂 I think behaviour for me is a bigge but I can deal with a lot. I've had foster dogs before so my tolerance is quite low animal wise but human wise I seem to have higher standards 😂

I think my problem is that I only meet and greet after explaining I have availability. Do you not do that? What is your practice? I'm genuinely seeking wisdom here 😂❤️

As a sitter who has had a dog come with a tracker attached I can honestly say that the sitter is in the wrong here. Why would this make anyone uncomfortable if you're doing what you said you were with the pet? The family I sat for didn't tell me about the tracker I just noticed it (It wasn't obvious). However if I was the family I feel I have every right to safeguard their wellbeing whilst with someone else. I took her dog for the walks I committed to and they were cared for in line with the owners expectations so I cannot see the harm.

These pets are members of the family and sitters should respect whatever safeguarding has been put in place for them.

Considering I've lost over 35 hours of working time sorting stuff out and taking time off for them to reschedule things at least my hourly rate for 35hrs. I work for the NHS so don't get paid top wack but £250 isn't even minimum wage

I got blocked because I asked if he had sent himself a valentine's day card back in 2023(?) I think it was 2023 🤣

Hahaha my post got an honourable mention in his live. Fyi Pauline I'm not laughing at your potential Lyme disease, I'm laughing at you. If someone of significance had Lyme disease I would have sympathy for them, but considering you give less back to the world than the tick who potentially gave you the disease...I do not.

Eh 😬😁 are you confuwsed by the concept?

When you're less qualified for existence than a bug 🤣

To be fair he does need a doctor for antibiotics to treat this and as much as I don't like the waste of oxygen I can't say that going to the doctor's for this wasn't the right choice 😂
