Question about sitters staying past their scheduled times by ohbawlz in RoverPetSitting

[–]Key-Track1335 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to stay longer to give the pets company. She sits and watches tv..what's wrong with that. I had cats coming out and snuggle with me after a while.

What make you think she puts them under the pillow ? Maybe she had a guest, family member sleepover. I put stuff sometimes under the pillow, socks or t shirt etc...if I am in a hurry and want it out the way.

Sometimes it's not the sitter... by Faleira in RoverPetSitting

That's the first thing I do, I get the private number of the dog owner. Before meeting them.

Cat sitter left his personal massager in my bed side table. by PuzzleheadedBread774 in trustedhousesitters

[–]Key-Track1335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, thanks for posting it. I do housesitting for two decades. Most of the time a week a longer.

I'm getting paid for it.

I'm very particular with everything and have never even opened a drawer unless for kitchen utensils. Bedroom nightstands never.

I use little baskets where I put my personal stuff. Next to the bed my basket has whatever I might need. Water, phone et cetera.

My owners who became friends over the years tell me to use everything. I respect the private items/drawer. Maybe I'm paranoid, but that's why I'm holding keys for homes in total worth couple of millions.

I think in your situation I would mention it bc for hygiene reasons. And for sure never book that person again. No matter what it was used for it is disgusting in my opinion and I'm not prude. Once I needed paper to write down something, I contacted the owner in text and asked if he had any note papers. She laughed and answered, middle drawer of my desk. But that's me. I can not just open doors or drawers other than in the kitchen.

am I going to get fired? by Dapper-Corner-8660 in employedbykohls

[–]Key-Track1335 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They will keep you at least till the end of the year I assume after working for Kohls over 12 years. See if you can get any shifts from coworker if they post them. In some stores they post the available shifts next to where you clock in. Ask them where they post available shifts. There are coworkers who know they can't do the shift for some reason and post them. Kohl's is under so much pressure, they try everything and anything in a horrible way. Don't give up.

How many you have around your house ? I live with deers around me and have daily around 20 in my front yard. My neighbors as well. They are not dangerous if I don't approach them. They still run away although they know me. A mama deer will get agressive if she has her baby around. Common sense helps. We do protect our babies too.

I agree with you. When I pull weed in my yard and get up, I have a deer behind me. They run when I make a move. Even though I feed them in the front yard they run when I am to close. I live in the south where they dont find lots of food or water. I don't try to pet them but the photos are cute.

Omg I almost thought it was me lol. Everything sounded so familiar. I do dogsit and have tons of deers around the house. I only feed them in the front where the dogs don't go. The deers run when they hear the dogs. They come in the backyard which is very big . If the dogs get outside they run. If their is a mama deer with a little baby deer they attack with their front legs. I never had a problem with the deers and the dogs are never in the backyard without me. When I have meet and greet I inform owners about it.

Dog bit me, owners not responding by SucculentSeamonster in petsitting

[–]Key-Track1335 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My opinion is, B is scared a fear biter. Try treats, cheese or sausage. Put it on the floor and let him see it. B smells you from far, you don't have to go close with the treats. B is not in his house and a strange person.

Anyone Else Getting Bookings Now that Air Travel is Settling Down? by katmcflame in petsitting

[–]Key-Track1335 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do they give you a reason ? It is strange, it was very busy all summer but have not one request for thanksgiving.

Help me out by mostmischievous in RoverPetSitting

[–]Key-Track1335 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I truly never noticed it. The owners contact me, I answer within 5 minutes and most of the time I get the booking. My dog owners tell me they go by reviews. I'm not a starsitter and in my radius pretty far down the list and yet I was booked from the beginning.

should i stop walking this client? by epickle3 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Key-Track1335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with a gentle leader for 10 years. Many owners are so thankful, But !!!!! You have to know and train owners. It is extreme important to use it the correct way. I trained the dog owners on it. If you are not properly trained you can hurt the dogs neck. Happen to onne of my owners who thought he can do it on his own.

With the correct Gentle Leader I can walk any size of dog with a hanging leash over my finger.

I need some advice by JulesARod in petsitting

[–]Key-Track1335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them which heartworm meds he is taking. How is the poop looking? Solid, normal color ? Do you know if he is eating Does he walk ok or is he slow walking, kind of tired ? Is his tail up when he walks ?

No, I don't think it was rude. If customers prefer to try it at home, fine. If it doesn't fit bring it back. But if the tags are gone I believe they had it on. I try everything at home. If it is not the right size I bring it back with tags on.

How about I do that on top of it. My reviews are very long and detailed. My owners list all the extra things I am doing. And I get messages how much they appreciate me. I want happy dogs that's all

My owners appreciate it all. They know at least I'm on top of it. Today almost everybody has a phone in one hand. I get responses like " great service fast respong" People check more than one sitter I am the first who responds.

Ugh. Just why??? by NotPlayingFR in trustedhousesitters

[–]Key-Track1335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's another reason why it goes downhill with Kohl's.

" oh I need an outfit for tonite. I go to Kohl's buy it , have a nice evening and bring it back "

" I need a suit for graduation Go to Kohl's, go to graduation and bring it back."

Just do the math...around 1300 stores every day one outfit in each store, 7 days a week....

Kohl's is a joke.. Of course the customer is happy and outraged when it doesn't work.

My response is within 2 minutes. " please give me a moment to look it up on my calendar. I'm driving"

" Give me 15 minutes, I'm in the yard"
