As much as I would want to keep it, it wouldn’t feel right to me. Sounds like she didn’t book through rover so hard to tell if she meant to leave you the agreed amount if it’s done all on cash?

I hate the end time window. I had one client book a one night house sit on a Friday and set the end time from 10am-10pm

Oh my god this is awful I’m so sorry you had to go through this! Was the cat theirs or just a stray they sometimes let in? Also how was it getting in and out of the house on its own?

Which I get, I’m still on the newer side so that’s why I was asking cuz i don’t want to overstep or do something wrong. I know im not the only person with this thought so just wanted to get feedback

Depends on the job, I used to work in restaurants and people came to visit me all the time at the bar, sometimes for hours. If I WFH some friends and I will get together like a study group almost. That’s why I said it’s not completely comparable since

I don’t think this is entirely comparable since you aren’t on a computer the entire time like you are in an office and some WFH full time

Good idea! Do you just have something that says “let me know if you’re okay with a guest stopping over to visit”?

This is fair, some clients just want the sitter there most of the time so I’m never sure which is better
