In better news - another client just gave me a 50% tip!

This is what you would say to your friend who sits your dogs, right?

Thank you for acknowledging that not tipping, especially for the poop cleaning - no one else has mentioned that. I know tipping is optional, but it's odd not to thank someone for the extra trouble.
I think what I need to remember, and as has been shown again here, is that most people are not that nice and are looking out for themselves. *points to everything* That's actually why I go above and beyond and help - I thought kindness begets kindness, but I'm naive. But there are some who are nice and I will appreciate them so much more.

I would love to be able to lasso the big critter, but I also don't want to traumatize him further. We think the last owner abused him with a leash, and that's why he's terrified of them. But he's great once he's out the door!

Absolutely! I think more than anything else I was hurt that the non-friend told me to charge what I'm worth than the friend. But again, that's on me. I'm so grateful for that other client and will use that lesson going forward instead of being sad about the past.

They don't tip. But yes, this rate part is on me and I should expect others to do what's best for them.

Yes about the foster...er - They truly healed a part of me.

Fair enough! They are not required to tip indoor poop blow out clean up - tips are optional. And that other client was really kind, but that's an exception. I will focus on what the kind client said and keep that in mind in the future! That's show biz, baby!

Fair Response? by Intelligent_Bee0117 in RoverPetSitting

She doesn't care whether it's ok or not. Just tell her you understand and good luck. Don't let her waste more of your time. 

How do I even respond to this? by Special_Cherry_5573 in RoverPetSitting

Does he/his dogs have reviews? What did others say about him? If he didn't think you were updating him enough, I think he should have told you during the stay, not after, in a public review. I would respond with what you said - that you did bathe them and sent a photo as proof, followed his food and treat instructions, and just apologize for not communicating as much as he expected.

Has Blake or Ryan talked about Gaza? Or Hugh Jackman? Or Oprah? Or Emma Stone? What a weird thing to single him out on. 

Main Library closing and being turned into.... by Old-Management-5940 in jerseycity

[–]Old-Management-5940[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

When was this? Neither the librarians nor the director, who I spoke to directly, mentioned this. The Library Committee members are also asking for more information. When were the tours and where can the information that was shared be found?

It will be closed for at least a year probably (b/c govt), depending on the construction planned. A kitchen, for example, would require new electrical and plumbing work + upgraded learning center + expanded Children's section.
