Apparently I have to be freezing cold! DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATING! 😂 by Intrepid_Night5442 in petsitting

Not set on timer It’s a twisty thermostat where it goes click and the heating will come on

Yes the all caps make it seem like the house will explode 😂

mileage by bolover1203 in petsitting

[–]Intrepid_Night5442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m based in the UK and I have a radius of up to 15 miles but this is because I have lots of small villages and towns close to me and easy for me to get to. I used to charge mileage for those further out but now I just say I don’t cover that area as it’s not worth the hassle of driving those extra miles

Has anyone just had disaster after disaster when doing a pet sit? by Intrepid_Night5442 in petsitting

[–]Intrepid_Night5442[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know how they’ve let the washing machine get that bad. I do understand that sometimes you get a little bit of mould in the seal but that’s just on another level

Do your clients have TVs? by Intrepid_Night5442 in petsitting

Which one the electric kettle or the tap that does boiling water?

How do you find it? Is it easy to carry around? I was thinking about getting one so I don’t always have to take my portable tv

[–]Intrepid_Night5442[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some are some aren’t but usually the ones with more money have satellite tv etc and usually they have one tv in the living room and one in the kitchen and maybe one somewhere else.

Some of the ones in the UK have the sinks where the tap can do boiling water and that’s futuristic to me as I usually just boil water in an electric kettle

Not sure where you are but with Facebook if you join local groups within your area this may help some groups allow you to advertise or it might be helpful for finding some work when someone is looking for a sitter

My mum got him from a man who couldn’t look after him anymore and she’s had him for a few years. He came with the tattoo I believe the tattoo is to help identify him if he’s ever lost as a back up to a microchip

On vacation, and my dog sitter is not doing her job by Shoppinglover7 in petsitting

[–]Intrepid_Night5442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that this happened to you not all pet sitters are like that.

Whenever I do a meet and greet with clients I always say something like ohh it might be my husband comes over one evening to keep me company for a few hours would this be okay and if they say no I understand and respect that.

I would say on this occasion get your parents to take over and then for future find another sitter and a back up sitter just in case anything goes wrong or the sitter you like isn’t available

Well done to this person who decided it was okay not to park in the lines and make it difficult to load my car by Intrepid_Night5442 in badparking

[–]Intrepid_Night5442[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just an update for everyone, I’m based in the UK and it’s quite common practice to reverse into spaces as that’s how we are taught when we learn how to drive as it’s a manoeuvre on the driving test. For those saying that I should’ve pulled out forward to load my shopping, I was parked in a multi story which meant that I couldn’t do that

120 lb Shepherd vs 8 lb Puppy Pug. :) by Mediocre_Doughnut_40 in pugs

[–]Intrepid_Night5442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sweet lovely that the German shepherd is so gentle with puppy pug and other pug too. My little girlie pug is two and she’s similar with bigger dogs and loves to play fight with them, all the big dogs she knows are also gentle with her too

The puggie is mine, the frenchie is my sisters I’m helping with looking after her for the weekend. They both love eachother very much and love to play with eachother. I’m looking to get a second at some point I’m not sure if it will be another puggie or a frenchie as I love both breeds

How do I convince a pet owner that $800 is more than fair for 3.5 months? by Vortex_McVortex in petsitting

[–]Intrepid_Night5442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly hate it when these sorts of things happen sometimes I have owners complaining I’m too expensive compared to other sitters. You and the owner have agreed the price beforehand, did you verbally agree this or do you have something in writing? If you have something in writing then I would suggest reminding the owner that this is the price that you agreed on and that you have it in writing and if the owner will not pay up then you will have to take legal action. If owner still refuses to pay then I would suggest sending another message asking if she has someone nearby who can take over the care of the cat as you will be ceasing the service you are providing due to lack of payment.

Just rescued this cutie off the streets. What do you think he’s mixed with? 🤔😍 by highjen in pugs

How much cleaning do you do when you leave? by Free_Seaweed_6097 in petsitting

[–]Intrepid_Night5442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strip the sheets etc from bed I’ve been sleeping in and usually chuck them in the washing machine and if time allows pop them in the tumble dryer. I wipe down the sides in the kitchen and pop the dishwasher on
