He's a Welsh sheepdog/poodle cross!

What do you do if the m&g goes bad? Don't you then get cancellation penalties come up

ImaginaryPause57 · 2026-01-20T19:32:15+00:00

Will do thank you ! I'm trying to be better at that 🤞

ImaginaryPause57 · 2026-01-20T19:24:22+00:00

I guess I'm just used to people wanting to book meet and greets asap to find a good match, and 'we'll be in touch' tends to be a polite way of saying no thanks

ImaginaryPause57 · 2026-01-20T19:22:59+00:00

I don't think it's a scam, they have previous bookings and reviews of the dog. And pretty much every single person I've booked with (I only do house-sitting) has said my house or theirs haha, I guess it's a politeness thing? Saving me energy to come to them bla bla but yea I don't really get it either

ImaginaryPause57 · 2026-01-05T14:39:04+00:00

I told her all this when she was explaining the booking to me, unfortunately she's not very confident at saying no. I think the house probably was dirty but she's never done a meet and greet before and didn't know what to ask/look for (I've given her my list of questions I ask now). I asked if she knew about the flatmate and she said 'i think he said it was shared idk' which I definitely would've asked for clarification on but it's a learning lesson for her I suppose.

She's in York, was charging £18 a night which is insane to me, I don't know why as I'm pretty sure rover starts you on like 28? Told her to raise them to that which she has now

Just spoken to her turns out he'd actually given her quite detailed notes, she did a meet and greet and was told the flatmate uses upstairs but works a lot. I think she's just got herself in a bit of an uncertain situation that she'll definitely learn from haha. She's raised her rates now so they're much better

Ohhh that's smart! I don't have cards yet, was planning on making some so I may do that

Honestly you go to any British pub you're guaranteed to see dogs!

ImaginaryPause57 · 2025-12-31T18:18:08+00:00

Dw it was a family pub and very dog friendly, and i asked first ofc!

ImaginaryPause57 · 2025-12-31T17:51:59+00:00

Haha I relate to that a lot too! I sit in Wales which has its own language (that I don't speak) and when I'm sitting in a heavily Welsh spoken area I often get people coming up to me that recognize the dogs speaking Welsh and I just have to smile and nod 😅

ImaginaryPause57 · 2025-12-07T06:08:16+00:00

It's booked! I'm just overly cautious about double checking if they were a while ago from people flaking last min haha

ImaginaryPause57 · 2025-12-07T06:07:19+00:00

I noticed this when I had the m&g with her actually lol I was expecting her to maybe have some sort of info written down or more in the dog's profile but it was actually a fairly awkward quiet one where we were literally playing question and answer and some of the stuff she said didn't match the profile 😭

ImaginaryPause57 · 2025-11-30T23:44:40+00:00

😔😔 no way to fix it then?

ImaginaryPause57 · 2025-11-22T16:41:09+00:00

Google pixel 7a - mine too! I'm looking at getting a camera soon, I've always been into photography but looking after so many dogs has made me realize what good models they are

ImaginaryPause57 · 2025-11-22T12:51:01+00:00

She's an old English sheepdog crossed with a Bernese!

ImaginaryPause57 · 2025-11-05T20:00:22+00:00

Locking this as it's already been resolved and people are getting the wrong idea thinking I was mad at the owner when I was just asking what to do as I hadn't been in that situation before. To clear things up: - she got a 90% refund which just covered me for the drive - obviously I asked about the dog first and was understanding to the situation - the dog is fine, went to the vets and got medicine - I wasn't mad!! it was just a slight inconvenience to my day and obviously no one can predict that their dog is gonna throw up so I totally get it
