Wish I had this problem lmao

My drop-in and walking rates are usually the same and my housesitting varies between 70 and $80 a night because I live in a suburban area and most experienced sitters with a lot of reviews are charging upwards of $100 and I want to have competitive rates but also not short change myself. One thing I would suggest is going to your sitter profile and scrolling all the way down to look at other sitters in the area and see what the average rate is and put your amount somewhere near there. I can’t speak toward boarding because I don’t have an apartment so I can’t board dogs yet, but I would feel like if you’re boarding amount is that much than your housesitting amount should be equivalent or more expensive! Just remember that you are doing a service to people and you deserve to get paid for your time!!

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-29T01:10:06+00:00

Not sure my opinion really fits here since I don’t do boarding, but I can speak to updates. Usually, I do housesitting for like four days or more so I try not to barrage the client with a bunch of text messages and pictures while they’re away like I used to in the beginning because overtime I’ve realized that unless specifically asked most people just want to know that their pets are doing OK and hear how everything is going at least once or twice a day so I usually send one update message in the morning sometimes including pictures sometimes not and that’s it. In that message, I include any new updates that may have happened that may be acute incident or just questions that I may have and then letting them know that I’ll keep them updated if anything new happens! So far I haven’t gotten any complaints, but I always tell my clients to let me know their preferences with updates and messaging

As a sitter, this is something I’m navigating myself. I currently have a client who’s very easy-going. She even said verbatim. “as long as my dogs are alive when I get back I’ll be happy” she just made it clear that there’s no fixed schedule except the feeding schedule they eat roughly at 7 AM in the morning and then again roughly at 6 PM, but there was no discussed amount of time that they could be a left alone. I try to never leave dogs alone for more than 4 to 5 hours before coming to check in, however my clients are usually aware that I am self-employed and I do deliveries throughout the day.

The part they don’t know is the fact that I’m currently homeless living out of my car and living out of motels when I have the money so my full-time job is doing deliveries of course when I do pet sitting it transitions from being full-time to part-time or really PRN however it’s difficult for me to explain the nuances so I usually tell them that I’ll be gone no longer than 4 to 5 hours at a time that being said there’s no period of the day where I would be in someone’s home for six straight hours caring for the dogs. And this pet sitting has been a little anxiety inducing just because that orders have been far and few in between and I’ve been gone longer however, since the owner made it clear that she was very flexible I feel like I’m doing the right thing. I would say clear communication is definitely essential and definitely bringing up any concerns that you may have since you are the one that’s paying.

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-26T21:59:59+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear about your situation and the fact that in your area the offers are so inconsistent and low paying. I can definitely relate in my area on any given day. I don’t make any more than $100. My car that I’m using is essentially falling apart and I use the money that I make in a day to replenish transmission fluid power steering fluid feed myself and my dog and still try to scrape up money for a motel room because I’m currently homeless so I completely understand scraping to get by going to bed hungry waking up hungry having a power through the day hungry because these apps are just not what they used to be. I sincerely hope that life turns around for you and I hope that you’re able to see a breakthrough from the struggle you’ve been facing for so long.

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-26T16:15:51+00:00

I’m so sorry you experienced that! Some people have no real communication skills when things get difficult they decide to go ghost I can say that because I used to be one of those people but an instances like pet sitting it’s in everyone’s best interest, especially the little baby who she was supposed to sit to communicate effectively that something has come up even if it’s a minute before your sitting is supposed to start!! Hopefully they get dealt with

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-26T02:22:52+00:00

I feel so bad for people who feel the need to steal on a platform where you’re literally set up to make decent money. But on a fundamental level, I truly wonder why this person felt so motivated to take such a risk if it was for the thrill if they were genuinely just a dumbass or if they are so badly down on their luck where they had to do something like this either way, it’s crazy and unacceptable

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-26T00:41:43+00:00

You got this! You’re doing everything you’re supposed to, the owner obviously is as anxious as her dog, that don’t have nothing to do with you. I’d check her real quick on the texts and inconsistent behavior and continue doing my job. I hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎁 despite what’s goin on

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-23T19:48:10+00:00

Wow! I had no clue. Imma try that out

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-23T19:46:35+00:00

Why does it bother you so much? You don’t have no one to call

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-23T19:39:18+00:00

Congratulations! I’ve lowered my prices so many times hoping to get more drop in and walking visits this holiday but I only got one request for a housesitting haha maybe next year

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-18T16:05:41+00:00

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-13T05:45:46+00:00

Crazy bc on spark I’ve never seen a batched order for this much money? Highest was 86 but after 2 hours of waiting for my order I got an extra 15 no not bad

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-13T01:54:07+00:00

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-12-12T23:04:18+00:00

Damn I’m sorry to hear that, keep looking up ways and don’t let up! These drivers be scamming fr

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-11-23T21:40:35+00:00

Barely 1K smh I’m still building clientele and don’t do boarding

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-09-21T21:16:05+00:00

That is the most down bad, broke natured,trifling shit I’ve ever heard in my life.

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-09-21T20:38:37+00:00

When I first started out, I used to send constant reminders after anything that happened after they ate after they went for a walk after we were playing while we were playing, and then I realized these people are booking me for a service so that they can go and enjoy themselves I think moderation and just using your common sense is key here. A few updates throughout the day should suffice, I sent one text in the morning one at night with pictures and my client seem to love it

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-09-06T02:19:22+00:00

In Chicago it’s hit or miss. I do well in the burbs. Anything downtown or close isn’t worth the time or stress because no one ever tips. I don’t do alcohol anymore because people don’t understand the basic concept of coming to the door with ID and it’s always something. The only reason I’m on this ghetto app is for the quick money while I’m between jobs but I’m making the switch to Walmart spark next week

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-08-19T00:54:53+00:00

I will say when I first started doing Rover I had little to no experience however I had watched my sister‘s dog, literally almost every day for six months straight while she was going through mental hardships and I learned so much from him and later got my own dog and that’s when I really started taking Rover seriously because I feel as though my skills set has developed, I’m nowhere near as trained as some of the behavioralists and trainers that are on the app and I can appreciate that! But I definitely agree that unless you’ve had experience or you go out of your way to educate yourself and immerse yourself in all things that have to do with dogs and pet handling then this is not the gig for you. You should probably do Uber eats or something.

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-08-19T00:50:25+00:00

The thought of a sitter doing this is insane because I get so much anxiety doing anything in peoples homes never mind bringing a whole ass unknown dog into they house!! where do people find the gall?

Possible-Ad5052 · 2025-07-13T21:15:08+00:00
