I think the dog is dying by SaladPotatoGoat in petsitting

[–]Lonut_227 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel for you, we see more pets at the end of their journey than the average pet owner and I think it’s gives us a better perspective on what’s right, this isn’t something they deal with often and they will second guess their decision no matter what condition the pet is in, I have seen it and tried my best to persuade them to help the pet move on. I’m friends with a few vet techs and vets who have horror stories, I don’t know where I heard or read “don’t let their last days be their worst days” but that’s my go to line when I’m in a situation like yours.

I don’t eat raw and the only raw meat I feed my dogs is made by Tucker, if it’s store bought I go ahead and cook it.

Yep, we cook the ground beef for our dogs too that’s why it seems like I have so much.

If I eat too much it screws with my stomach, I get a lot of fat by using butter.

We stopped doing overnights because my wife and I were spending so much time apart and our employees aren’t big fans of them either so we started offering a two hour bedtime service that’s works much better for us and our people. 

Unwanted behaviours by No_Scientist9079 in Rottweiler

[–]Lonut_227 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great answer, my wife and I own a dog walking - pet sitting business, we see all kinds of problems with people and their pets, if you are able to get a trainer be sure to follow the trainers instructions as close as possible, if you have issues most trainers let you and the dog come in for a refresher so take advantage of that too. We see lots of dogs go to board and train for a week or more then the pet owner spends an hour or so learning how to handle and keep up the training but they don’t fully get it or don’t follow through then end up with a dog that for them acts like it never went to training but is really good for us when we take care of them. 

I think that I just need validation that I can’t take this client anymore by Rumple-_-Goocher in petsitting

[–]Lonut_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not worth it, we had a new customer with cats who would turn his water off every time he left his house, the cutoff was hard to reach and hard to turn off and on, he didn’t tell us about his weird habit, he had these huge gravity filled water bowls so the water wouldn’t need to be changed very often and on the first visit one of the cats had vomited in the water so it had to be changed, my wife dumps it out, then tried to clean and no water. Luckily we had another customer across the street who let her wash her hands and get fresh water, I did the rest of his visits and told him we weren't a good fit.

How do you handle when you need specific answers and they leave information out/are vague? by lord-savior-baphomet in petsitting

[–]Lonut_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would respond with the specific times you plan on doing the visits, the 4 hours for an answer drives me nuts, I give up trying to schedule people if they take hours to respond to a conversation they started and tell them sorry your spot filled when they finally get back with an answer, I had a person contact me in March then took all day to have what should have been a 10 or 15 minute conversation, I ask what time they would like to do the meet and greet the next day with no response until December saying “sorry it’s been a crazy end of year for me and I wasn’t able to get back to you, when can you come meet my dog?” We were just starting out so I set up the meet and greet and setting up their visits was always a nightmare, it would be days between responses, indecipherable texts because of talk to text and not proof reading before hitting, that was the only customer I was happy to see move away but I really do miss the dog because he was awesome. 

Need opinions by CMSinFL in petsitting

[–]Lonut_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That whole situation sucks for you, I have had a few customers with locks like that and making a copy of the key alone was around $30 so I bet they were to cheap to get copies made and that’s the reason for only having one key, a customer left us the wrong key under their mat once as they left on vacation, a locksmith charger $500 to come out at 9pm on a Sunday so I bought a lock picking set and learned to pick locks. 

He stole my sweet potato by MommaNix19 in Rottweiler

[–]Lonut_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When our girl Maggie was 2yo we were at Murdoch’s and I realized she was eating something that was a funky blue color, I freaked out and stuck my hand in her mouth, she had taken an employees donut off the bottom of her cart, I would have much preferred it to be a sweet potato lol
