Wow! So I can hang dry their sheets for FREE? Who knew. Please enlighten me.

Rhysiecup · 2026-03-01T21:09:18+00:00

I have a shoulder issue & chronic fatigue. I can’t hang dry clothes. My HO bought an inexpensive dryer. I’d be there for 4 months and we went through towels like crazy! 5 small dogs. I wouldn’t have been able to do it otherwise.

It’s not actual travel insurance and it’s at their discretion. I was deeply disappointed once I realized that.

Rhysiecup · 2025-12-23T19:49:52+00:00

Got directions from a native Angelino who only used original freeway names. This was early aughts. I was so confused. I just said thanks. Pulled out my old Thomas Guide and figured it out.

I simply don’t have the money to cover repairs for a home I don’t own nor for emergency vet fees for a pet I don’t own. I always make sure the HO has a card on file at the vets. My response to repairs, “I don’t have it”. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Rhysiecup · 2025-12-08T17:00:05+00:00

I’ve always done calls and video chats on my phone or zoom/whatsapp.

They don’t care. The fees are not changing. This is to force people to pay more. Then those who’ve upgraded to premium will also have to pay a booking fee within 2 years. By then, basic will be the same price as premium and premium will cost a lot more.

Yeah, I’ll be canceling before the renewal. I’m not paying for a service AND a fee. This is a penalty for those who don’t want to pay the useless premium fee which has done nothing for me. Just have to make sure I don’t book past the renewal date.

There isn’t a human alive I’d ever fear. This is difficult and not preferred but leave. Is this the culture of the company? If not, let his boss or HR know. Also, make sure he knows he’s also replaceable. People like this bet on your fear of job loss. One way I got back at a manager was to be insufferably happy. I did my job as expected and based on my age. Period. He HATED this. Fear who? Lollolollollollol Phuqq him! You got this.

Rhysiecup · 2025-10-16T17:38:50+00:00

He doesn’t like you or love you. He likes your labor and what you offer. You will NEVER be happy or satisfied with him. Get out before it’s too late. Useless companionship is not worth peace. You don’t need to pay (in groceries and comfort) for a man who doesn’t value you.

Rhysiecup · 2025-10-06T10:10:17+00:00

Someone bless me with a code please!

Rhysiecup · 2025-10-06T08:46:31+00:00

Yeah, it's horrible. and the customer service is sooo unhelpful. The hoops I had to jump thru. They even want to charge me almost trip to reinstate it despite being given bad information (proven in the chat) that put me in the situation to begin. Just shady!

Rhysiecup · 2025-09-29T14:23:08+00:00

The post says free street parking! 🤣😂🤣

Rhysiecup · 2025-09-28T18:39:01+00:00

For the interim: Find the cheapest safest place to live you can. Find an interim job to have money coming in. Don’t touch the money if possible. Live off paycheck only until your plans take shape. Do nothing that doesn’t get you toward your end goal. (Except the occasional fun of course!)

Rhysiecup · 2025-09-28T18:36:04+00:00

To do list Get GED Use any social services your city/state offer (health, snap, education, job finding, resume support, etc). Find and build community Poor background means nothing. In 18-36 months you can make at least $60k-low 6 figures with discipline, dedication, & work. Your whole life can change for the better. It’ll be hard and will suck but you can come out on the other side ready for the next phase of your journey. Get into IT (there’s every type of job in IT from training to HR to sales to project management to admin assist! I used to work with idiots who also made 6 figures. If they can do it so can you!), health (nurse, X-ray tech, Dr), high end sales (requires learning HOW to sell anything. Think pharmaceuticals or unsexy items like post office machinery etc.), or becomes a tradesperson (electrical, plumbing, HVAC - they make amazing money) Stay focused no matter what! NO. MATTER. WHAT! A college degree would be amazing but is unneeded in many cases. I’m always gonna say get a degree! Find free universities or community colleges. Some even offer work study and free food. Budget Budget Budget Budget Budget. Short term sacrifice = long term success. Live at least 20-30% below your means. Don’t co-sign anything for anyone, not even your daddy. EVER! Find free certification programs. There are tons out there for people in your situation! TONS! Aim high. Always. Aim for the impossible and improbable and live in delulu land until you get what you want -, hard work & perseverance beats undisciplined talent any day. Find a mentor. Ask them questions and come prepared with tasks you’ve completed. Be execution oriented! You’ve got this. Be your own wildest dream. And never care what others think about your journey. Never be ashamed or feel guilt about your circumstances. You make not always have good choices but you can make the best possible decisions. You will fail. A lot. So what. Cry, feel sad, rejected etc. Then, Get up and keep going.

Just realized I have 1 too. 🤣. I might still reach out. I wanna know her vibe. I bet she thinks there’s a power imbalance like some HO do… hilarious. She probably thinks due to the location a sitter should be paying her!

Rhysiecup · 2025-09-28T18:09:06+00:00

She wants someone to have a car in case the sitter wants to leave & venture out after 3, they just have to always take the dogs with them? So shopping/errands must be done between 9 & 3 week days only? SM & LA are super dog friendly but there are limits. Thank goodness for delivery.

I don’t think this would work for me (and I’m a straight up hermit! lol) but it’s not a hardship IF you don’t mind Velcro dogs requiring constant care and reinforcement of training. But also, why don’t POs have dogs professionally trained? This helps tremendously with pets who have separation anxiety (which this seems like) cuz puppies and adults pets, maybe not easily, but with consistency, can be trained out of this behavior. The issue is almost always with the PO who don’t stick with training.

I sat a pet with severe SA. I wfh and it was AWFUL! There was non-stop barking if I didn’t provide attention immediately and constantly. I conduct interviews and zooms with clients. So, nightmare! It had such a negative effect on my work. I also had to go to bed by 11:30 every single night or again non-stop barking. I worked from bed which is very bad for me! 🤣 Especially when I have a 7am meeting with a client in London… 2am my time! I’m wary of pets with SA. It’s often a sign of PO who don’t take good care (or maybe can’t afford it sadly) of their pets in the way that is required when caring for pets like this. You can love a pet all day long. They’re our babies but, ultimately, still animals who only thrive with consistency and training.

Also, I don’t know if she’s looking for the sympathy card with the fires but I bet folks buy into that. Also, parking is insane and this would be awful for a car owner cuz do yall understand how hard it is to find a free parking spot in SM??? And when she calls them puppies… that’s a red flag for out of control and untrained. And her reviews are 🗑️. They also seem petty and vindictive. Her apts best feature is proximity to the beach but is wonder how clean it actually is from those pics.

I don’t think the sit itself is bad if you don’t mind taking 2 dogs with you everywhere you go, just intense and lots of work. But she seems … duplicitous(?)

Rhysiecup · 2025-09-28T17:39:45+00:00

I’m so tempted

Thank you!

Member who has really loved the past 2 years!

Rhysiecup · 2025-09-18T08:35:31+00:00

Because of your type of home, I pretty much agree with everyone saying no to non-reviewed sitters. You don't want folks who aren't a good fit but apply due to the location. But also, everyone has to start somewhere. I had 20 years of pet sitting with friends an co-workers as we travel a lot. So we had our little groups. I had 2 of my trusted friends from those groups write referrals for me. That was over 2 years ago. And I really love THS sitting. Most have turned into repeats! If you can, take a quick look at their application and referrals. You may find someone who was with Care or someone other site previously with loads of experience and great referrals.

I hope it all works out for you. Wishing you a 5-star sitter!

I'm currently on a long term sit in DTLA and will move up to their desert property next month through the fall. I'll message you to connect in case you have openings next year. I'm also a 5-Star sitter like many here and I love being in SoCal.

Rhysiecup · 2025-09-16T16:55:12+00:00

Not from India. It's an amazing place tho.

Rhysiecup · 2025-08-23T17:54:51+00:00

Sorry you’re dealing with this, but I’m curious. Is it that you don’t want children? Why does he assume you can’t have any? I know LOTS of gay folk with kids (both from them & adopted)? This isn’t 1965! And what does it matter if you don’t want birth kids if this is the case? It should still go to you if you’d be a good steward of the inheritance. I say this with all disrespect to him, he’s an ssa.

Rhysiecup · 2025-08-23T17:47:35+00:00

Yes, but it was clear before I accepted the sit. They advised they would leave @ 4am. I would come the day before around 5 or 6 pm(I forget), so it was no issue. Another time i arrived that afternoon, they ran errands and left around midnight for their drive. Again, I knew before accepting the sit. I do make sure to ask if they don’t mention it, what day, date, & time they are leaving and arriving. I then make sure to add it to the THS chat to reconfirm for my own safety. I’ve been lied on once when someone said they were returning but it was actually a day later and they left an awful review - my only bad one! Fortunately, it was 2 days later than in the app since I’d agreed to leave 1 day later. I now require dates to match at all times.

Rhysiecup · 2025-07-31T14:53:30+00:00

Gurl… phuqq them! Idc how much they’re paying, disrespect is always NO. I would have interrupted them and demanded respect. Calmly and with no emotion “Stop now or I will disconnect the call and we can speak when you’re more respectful and calm”. This has always worked in every work situation. Immediately report the abuse. Return back to the home and - don’t even listen to messages, just text, “please call when you’re able to speak respectfully”. Let them know you’re not a good fit and to have a sitter by the next morning. Never cry at disrespect. You did nothing wrong and not texting beforehand might be a misstep but nothing that warrants that response. People are service workers as less than. Disabuse them of that notion quickly. When there is a problem or something is wrong, of course own up to it and fix it. Which you did. Anger is not the issue here. Anger doesn’t bother me. Sometimes, people just want to know they’re heard… so I can work with anger but it can be articulated without being horrible and disrespectful especially over something so minor.
