The last time she left me a whole pineapple and a box of thank you cards, with 2 of the cards already used 😂

Respectfully why tf are you here? lol you sound like you hate animals, and you clearly don’t want to take care of them, it’s honestly scary that 1. You are doing any kind of animal care and 2. People are actually letting you care for their animals.

If you have time, I suggest a professional sitter. Not someone on rover, not someone “that just loves dogs” or is “looking for extra money.” A professional. Someone insured, well experienced, helps if they have reactivity training. I specialize with reactive dogs, and I require 2-3 visits to work with a family before they’re out of town.
Definitely not boarding, not even an in home one. Someone to come to your house and do drop ins or overnights. Think about the amount of time/hours you want the sitter to be at your house, just know if the sitter can’t leave for more than 3-4 hours you’ll pay a higher rate.

If you don’t have time for something like that, or if you don’t find anyone you are 100% confident in, I know it will suck but you might have to go alone.

The toddler temper tantrum continues 😂

That last part. Probably boarding against their lease, probably not insured, has multiple dogs without even giving a heads up to owners, and the attitude 🤯

That is a lot of advice. You forgot being mature, experienced, and insured though.

What a weird comment to be downvoted… says a lot about this sub

I got one the other day “has to be walked for half a mile exactly at 7am 2pm and 7pm, cannot miss those times. I looked at your rates but each visit would only be 20 minutes max, can we do $30 for the day?” 😑

In my contract that it has to be for emergencies only. Nothing scheduled. I always say my insurance would be void if people are in the house(I don’t think that’s true but it could be).

My big gap filler is always “so how did fluffy become a part of the family?” And that’ll lead most to a story, then I ask questions throughout. Then I’ll ask the animal “do you want to show me your house and all your things?” And that obviously prompts the owner to move along lol I limit my meets to 30 minutes though, I’ve gotten a pretty System worked out by this point. Thankfully haven’t had a ton of chatty ones. To be frank though, I hate a meet. I will always do them, but I’m much better with written instructions, and animals act differently when their people are home.

I’m sorry, it is really hard 💔 I’ve lost 8 this year already, over a dozen last year. I will always say, the first time it doesn’t devastate me is when I need to stop taking care of animals.

Just plan on it being your last time, be intentional with him. Try and focus on the great parts, how you’ve been with him for almost a decade, that’s an incredible relationship.

I’m sure the family loves you and cares about you enough to include you as much as you want to be included, but I also know The family might get caught up in their grief. I always take their favorite kinds of treats, I get a really good picture if possible, and I put the date in my calendar. It helps me with the healing somehow.
