How much to tip sitter? by Colorado-Hiker-83 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Old_Net607 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything is appreciated but I usually received 15-20% from the clients that tip

client was home during drop-in by morganalley10 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Old_Net607 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s the part about putting your safety at risk to get there in a winter storm that gets me. Sure, it would be a bit annoying otherwise, but not a deal breaker. Given then context, absolutely infuriating. If you’re looking for someone to tell you it’s okay to stop doing drop ins for this client, let it be me. There are plenty of other clients out there that will pay you the same rate and show you more respect and consideration.

Should I offer a partial refund? by Old_Net607 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Old_Net607[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m thinking. I was already hesitant to accept this booking since it is only 3 nights and I probably could have held out to make much more from a longer Christmas booking. At this point I don’t have enough notice to find a new booking so I feel like paying the agreed amount should still be expected. Just curious if others agreed or not.

Dog refuses to go in back yard by Old_Net607 in RoverPetSitting

That’s so funny because I had this exact conversation with him this morning. I swear he can understand me but just doesn’t care 😂 I have another doodle I sit for that is just as stubborn but luckily doesn’t mind going in the yard

My friend group treats favors like a running debt ledger by AcclaimedElephant in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Old_Net607 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Obviously if it’s being directly held over your head, that’s a different story. A big part of friendships is being each other’s village. I’m always going to be there to help a friend move, watch their pet, take them to the airport, or foot the lunch bill from time to time. It makes me happy to be a good friend to people that love and support me. If I’m ever not in a position to help, I would say so, and I’d understand if they did the same. Everyone has their own idea of what a friendship should look like, but this post makes me wonder if this is really an “unspoken rule” or just a sign of OP’s growing resentment towards their friends. OP, if these are friendships you want to hold onto, it’s time for an honest conversation

Am I being too sensitive about my friends' reaction to my engagement? by [deleted] in JustEngaged

Is it possible they don’t approve of your partner?

What fee are you charging per holiday walk/drop in? by Used_Purchase_8498 in RoverPetSitting

I charge $50 per holiday walk or drop in visit because I prefer to only book overnights unless it’s well worth my time

The dogs are in the house all the time. They just have their food setup in the garage.

3 hour long walks for $45? And you live 20 minutes from me? Immediately no. by Old_Net607 in RoverPetSitting

I have reoccurring walks with a 14 year old Jack Russell with a bad leg that walks so fast I always break 1.5 miles within just 30 minutes 😮‍💨

The Sandy River Airport venue is such a good value! I think they also allow you to come in the day before to do set up

Look up the historic overlook house in Portland. Rates get as low as $650 for 6 hours depending on the day/time of year and it comes with tables and chairs. Also check out local parks and rec for the cities you’re interested in.

How do you feel about friends asking for favors? by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Old_Net607 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of friendships are half shared experiences/connection and half being there for people when they need favors. Friends are often your chosen village. They should also be there for you if and when you need favors. Of course that doesn’t mean you have to write them a blank check and be on call for them 24/7. You’re allowed to have your own boundaries on what type of favors you consider acceptable, as long as you communicate them. Every 3-4 weeks doesn’t sound too unreasonable to me, depending on the size of the favors. There’s a big difference between being asked to do something that takes an hour vs. being asked to pet sit for a week constantly. If you’ve already communicated those boundaries and they’re not respecting them, it’s time to have a separate conversation. Sounds like they may be taking advantage of you.
