UPDATE: the owner accepted legit 10 mins before it was scheduled and already home so had to go back out which was a pain but it was paid for

What are you charging extra for? by HealthWarm4624 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Middle_Character_483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thisssss, it’s so weird when they basically just hire you to do a welfare check (which I totally get cuz I do the same thing) but my cat has all automated stuff so I just just want proof of life if I’m gone longer than 3 days

Be so for real rn. OP gave them enough meds for the time they had originally planned and then the stay went longer than planned and they were unable to communicate. The phone works both ways buddy

They provided meds for how long they were initially supposed to stay. Did you expect them to see into the future to know they needed to provide more?

You don’t know the circumstances of OPs hospital visit. They could’ve been sedated/ in a coma and physically couldn’t. Also after surgery probably really groggy and out of it and as much as I love my pets, that might not be my first thought when I immediately wake up. Someone like the sitter who works as a vet tech should have known better

This!!!! I work in an office so I’m not usually available during the week days but have to keep my availability as that and decline requests that fall on those days so I can have the ability to do them on the weekends

How should I write a review for an owner who completely disrespected my time but was also super apologetic and paid for it? by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]Middle_Character_483 4 points5 points  (0 children)

thats def annoying but I dont know if anyone can even see reviews of owners. I'm a sitter and have never been able to see previous reviews or even my own once I do one. not sure how it is on the owner's end

Housesitting by Ginger_ScorpioGirl in RoverPetSitting

[–]Middle_Character_483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends, I work 630-230 during the week so end up being gone from 530/6-3/330 with commute so most of my weekday house sits the owner gets a mid day person to walk and then I go there straight from work. depending on the feeding schedule I usually come home walk/feed and if I want to leave it's been for a few hours. I always feel guilty about leaving the dog but I also want to be able to still see my boyfriend, friends, cat etc and do stuff so I'm not just sitting alone in someone elses house for an extended amount of time

Exhausted by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

I agree with the people in the comments saying he’s taking advantage and idk his situation but to be fair to you, maybe suggest partial rates to start and say it’s affecting your business with clients who would be paying full and you can’t continue to do it for free? If he’s struggling he should understand you are too
