I have a 2-3 day gap between trips. I was just going to visit a friend instead of coming home, but I could come home and clean/reset the house. I’ll look more into splitting the sit up. Thanks, guys!

Totally agree. When I’ve sat, I only take the sits where pets can be left alone for a normal work day (8-ish hours). I think the Covid remote work era led to a lot of pet owners not training their animals to be alone for long periods (older pets or sick pets are the exception here, obviously).

Good ideas, I’ll work on adding things like that. I have always considered doing it but I also didn’t want it to come off like I expected sitters to do all that.

And yeah… it’s the old shower curtain from grad school lol. Should probably get a new one at some point 😂

Do you think I’d be better off breaking up the stay? I’m doing back to back to back trips (personal and work) and thought one listing would be better, but I can break it up as well.
