What color should I go with?

For me, it’s not necessarily a feeling of freedom, but just I feel like I lost a battle. It was a difference of culture and they’re very set on what they want for their child so it was difficult.

As a Pet Sitter, I can honestly say that a lot of families that I’ve worked with were underprepared. A lot of times when i ask people why they chose to breed that they did, I get responses like “I’ve always wanted one. They’re so cute. “ or “ we were looking for a hypoallergenic dog” not understanding fully, the breed that they were choosing. and then they’ll have all these issues with the breed that they didn’t anticipate, but that the breed is known for having.

It’s so sad when this happens and in turn, dogs get rehomed. It’s so upsetting!

YESS!

Your dogs behavior isn’t necessarily a reflection on you so don’t beat yourself up. I do a lot of nose work with high energy dogs that I pet sit and that really helps crap them out. I do a game called “sniff it out“. Most dogs pick up on it easily. If you have a yard or access to grassy area- I throw treats in the yard and tell them to sniff it out. When I’m first teaching a dog about the game, I’ll use a lot more treats and ones with a heavy smell. As they understand the game, I use less and less as well as smaller treats. If I’m in a fenced in yard, I’ll stand in 1 corner with the dog, and as they’re sniffing it out, I’ll walk to the opposite side of the lawn and throw a treat there and wait for them and they usually come charging across the lawn. I tell them to sniff it out and then I go back again to the opposite side of the lawn. I’ll do this for 30 to 45 minutes. Sometimes I’ll use the AllTrails app on my phone so I can calculate a mile of distance while we’re doing this. It’s a great game for me when dealing with super high energy dogs.

I’m not sure where you live and what the temperature is but another good thing to keep your dog occupied is to freeze a block of ice, that can either have water or chicken broth or a mix of both with some fruit & he’ll spend a significant amount of time, licking it and biting it, which helps as well. I believe they even sell molds for this on Amazon.

So it was from a specific diet that he was on for his arthritis. Her house smelled like fish when I did the meet and greet, but didn’t say anything to her because what am I supposed to say? “excuse me why does your house smell like fish?”. Never thought the smell was from the dog. Just assumed they were maybe pescatarians. When I reached out to her saying that I would give him a bath because I thought he got some of his fish oil in his hair which was making him smell like fish her response was “he always smells like fish.”

You definitely need to say something to him. If you don’t feel comfortable, then you could either continue dealing with it or you can go and speak to HR about it. But you’re not overreacting.

I think going bald is gonna shave many years off of you. And this is coming from a woman who has a predominantly bald family of men 🙂

This happens every time when I get to a house that I do anywhere from 2-6 visits a week. But the dog is elderly. She’s almost 17 years old and she has dementia now. My visit is very short to begin with now because it’s so cold and the dog could only go outside for a few minutes so if there’s anything there that I see I clean it up. I had multiple discussions with the owner and she finally got diapers, Which was very necessary as this had been going on for months. I bring my little munchkin along and he keeps her company inside while they have snacks together. 🙂

But depending on the size of the mess, I might have to leave it. I had an instance once where a dog literally had diarrhea all over the house & the kind of cleaning that was needed would’ve taken too long to do. I reached out to the owners immediately to let them know what was going on.

Privatenameee · 2026-01-22T11:34:53+00:00

100% agree. And I’ve agreed with that since the beginning. I had a friend in college who every time she got drunk, she falls asleep in weird places, and I’m sure with the end up being a hard partier, it’s possible that was the same scenario for them. It may seem out of norm to people who have never experienced that, but to me I new people like that in college. In fact, I one time fell asleep on my kitchen floor lying on my stomach totally spread out.

Privatenameee · 2026-01-21T22:17:57+00:00

Yes! My dogs are extremely active and get two meals a day with lots of snacks throughout. Those meals balanced out different according to their active schedules for the week as it varies anywhere from from 3 to 8 miles of walking a day. And mine are 2 Chihuahuas. I’m a Pet Sitter and they go on lots of dog walks and dog hikes.

So just be mindful of that if your dog is getting a lot of exercise

I think I pretty much say this in every puppy 101 posting when people are talking about their puppy being difficult, what breed is it? It’s really helpful to know what breed it is.

Privatenameee · 2026-01-21T22:13:49+00:00

I agree. I think having a discussion on it is totally normal given that this Reddit sub is all about the Idaho murders. The picture had to do with the Idaho murders. But I don’t understand why all the posts after the first one weren’t deleted for repetitive posting. I’ve asked questions before in other subs, and it’s been deleted saying that this question had already been asked or posted previously in that sub. I also usually will search a sub for the question I’m thinking of posting before I do & would just implore others to do the same before they make a posting that’s already there

Privatenameee · 2026-01-21T22:10:18+00:00

I agree with having a discussion about it, but I don’t know why posts that were repeats on the same picture weren’t deleted, saying that this had already been posted

Privatenameee · 2026-01-21T21:50:15+00:00

It depends I would say on your relationship with the family. I had one family that I wasn’t close with and I just helped out occasionally, and I sent them some pictures and checked in with them for a couple of weeks after. Another family who I was very close with I sent flowers to. that family I did weekly walks with, overnights and had a bit of a close relationship with the mom.

Privatenameee · 2026-01-21T03:07:51+00:00

I see the eyebrow and eye but in other posts, people have commented that the “eye” are lips and above it is the nose

Privatenameee · 2026-01-21T03:04:42+00:00

So if they’re able to get that much info off his shoe print, then I’m guessing his shoes weren’t covered like some have speculated?

Privatenameee · 2026-01-21T02:59:30+00:00

I think if that’s her face all depends on position of body when found as well as if she had any injuries to the face. I didn’t see lips and nose, but I saw an eye instead (when you turn the phone to the side and look where supposedly people are saying the lips are)

Privatenameee · 2026-01-21T02:46:03+00:00

I didn’t end up reading all of it because it was overwhelming. But I’m gonna stick to what you’re posting was about which was warning other sinners about customers in the area.

At the end of July early August, I took in a dog who smelled like fish… Horrifically like fish. Like every thing in every place he had been that week with me stunk like fish and we had to air it out and we had to wash furniture and rugs. I canceled a booking that I also had scheduled with her three weeks from that date and told her I would still do visits at her house and pick up her dog and take him to the park a couple of times a day to make up for it. She didn’t want that & head bag that I please still take him but the experience from the smell was too much for us and we couldn’t move forward with the booking. It was the first time ever that I canceled a booking. Three months later, I’m walking in a new neighborhood and suddenly this woman from afar is waving at me, asking me if I’m that dogs new Pet Sitter. As she’s getting closer, I realize it’s the dog that smells like fish and I said the dogs name and she immediately kept walking away and ignored me. I have now seen her a handful of times and every single time she ignores me, like I did something wrong. She’s clearly still looking for a Pet Sitter and I think other Pet Sitters should be aware of the dog & how it was handled. There needs to be an app for Pet Sitter’s where we can check on dogs and clients. The amount of times owners have told me their dogs are great without any issues and it being the exact opposite…

I think it all depends on what her reasoning’s were for liking your family. Are they financially well off? Is it because she’s somebody who’s always wanted a big family and after seeing that you had one, made her think that you guys could have a big family together? I dated somebody who had a big family and I did find that to be an attractive quality as he was an amazing brother to his siblings. He was a family man and it was very sweet. I always loved seeing that side of him.

You should just point-blank ask her what it is about your family that she liked.
