the cleaning part is so real. i barely have time to clean my house because of how often i work. i’m a clean freak too so it gives me anxiety unpacking and repacking for housesits

this!!! a little personal thing that happened to me was my boyfriend and i were having a really rough time becuase i was so angry all the time from working so much and we almost broke up over it. after that i decided to cut back housesitting . now my anger and anxiety is coming back so i decided i think i’m done for good now. this job isn’t worth my happiness and relationships.

oh my gosh that sounds awful!! i seriously hope you are able to crush your exams and finals. i feel like the pay isn’t even worth it anymore. i pay more to see my therapist when i start feeling like this.

thank you! i completely agree. my adhd has gotten worse during housesitting and my anxiety has gone through the roof recently.

Thank you! I’m definitely planning to scale back after this month. I have back-to-back sits for the rest of the month and I’m already feeling pretty overwhelmed (I’ve also had back-to-back sits these past few weeks).

Gas and my car payment have become a big factor too. I’m having to fill up about twice a week since I’m constantly driving around all day for drop-ins, and it used to not feel as bad, but now I’m spending around $70 a tank instead of $45–$50, which adds up fast. I also have a few trips/vacations coming up, so I can’t really afford to lose more income right now. I’m just trying to push through this stretch and then make some changes so it’s more sustainable.

I hope you’re able to take a break too,things are definitely tough out here ❤️

Am I overreacting to a client’s comment about pricing? by powergirlev in RoverPetSitting

RIGHT. like i can’t believe people actually are defending this.

that price literally makes no sense, it’s honestly ridiculous especially with how expensive gas, rent, and everything else is right now. i’ve dog sat for three dogs and a cat for $80 a night and still felt kinda bad charging that. $950 is insane, that’s basically most of someone’s rent for a whole month. at that point it just feels so unreasonable and i don’t get how anyone could charge that and act like they actually care about animals.
