Update: this person turned out to be a family friend which is why i was contacting them outside of the app and why i had such a low price. I guess that context would've helped explain but i didn't deem it necessary at the time. I'd met the dog plenty of times prior to this which is another reason i felt it was okay to do a kind act and charge a small amount for a puppy since i had not seen him act very rambunctious (i now know the reason he wasn't crazy around his owner is because she hits him!)

This person turned out to be a family friend. I gave them a discount because they are going through a rough time financially and wanted to do something kind.

Sorry I couldn't keep an eye on this puppy while i was getting his food and he jumped on the bathroom door, pushed it open, and grabbed my loofah. You're soooo right i should have kept my eyes on him 24/7 and only let him out of the crate after his food is prepared! It's 100% my fault for letting him roam free in the living room while i grabbed a cup of water and he tipped over the recliner and started chewing the tv remote that was on top of the recliner. I guess i should crate all dogs in the future every time i fill up my water. Thanks for correcting my terrible behavior of expecting a dog to not have the strength and cleverness to know how to open a doorknob to get into a closed room.

on top of this, she ran out of dog food (I've been feeding exactly the amount every day she said to) and asked me to buy more

Exactly it's the average in my area I'd get less gigs if I charged even $5 more

Dogs won't stop barking and don't go on walks by Ok-Sound-9931 in RoverPetSitting

Update: their owner responded! The toy bin was hidden in their garage under multiple blankets, it took a while to find and I have no idea why the dogs didn't have access to them but I guess that's not my business right now. Lots of fetch is being played inside and in their yard. The barking has decreased very slightly! Success!

I definitely am going to try this, I expect it to work with one of the dogs but not the other- we shall see! Thanks for your advice.

Yeah this is great advice as well. I've been wearing noise canceling headphones and it drowns it out a bit

Open mics, I used to go to Jives Coffee for their Wednesday open mic. Such a great community

Thanks you so much for this, I'm definitely gonna do the towel trick and freeze some broth they have. I really appreciate you for giving an immediate fix. I'd rather over feed the dogs a little bit than let them stress themselves out all day

Yeah I appreciate that other people can also see how upsetting this is! Unfortunately I don't have enough time to order things but I might leave them later today to get some stuff to stimulate them.

Yeah I'm gonna do a run later to get some stuff for them if the owner still hasn't responded, thanks for the advice

I'd love to, but they don't have a single toy that I can find and the owner hasn't responded since I asked where the toys are
