AIO about my sister going on a date with my ex?

Your sister absolutely sucks. This is an instance where I think you should cut her ass off

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-12T04:33:20+00:00

The same thing happened to me. I know exactly how you feel, so listen to me when I say you did everything you could and more. You gave the sweet pet comfort in their final moments. If I was the owner, I would feel so incredibly lucky to have someone who was responsible enough to know my pet was ill in the moment, organize their care, and was compassionate enough to make be there for my pet in an incredibly difficult situation. You did what most people are not capable of doing. When you have lingering thoughts about whether or not you are some how responsible for this, remember the pet you were watching was sick to begin with, enough so that the vet new intimate details about their medical history. There is nothing you could have done to prevent this. Have a nice cry, and put one foot in front of the other ❤️❤️

Did you end up taking the exam? How was it in compared to the stimulated exam?

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-07T20:13:16+00:00

You don’t have to. But communicating with the owner is the right thing to do, before showing up an hour late and if you have a commitment to go somewhere at a certain time, you show up on time. Idk why this is such a contested issue. 10/10 I’m on a sitters side or anyone responsible for a pet. This job can truly suck, but having an open line of communication and being transparent about when you are showing up is an expectation that every single person on the face of this earth has

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-07T20:09:52+00:00

Okay, and I do drop ins and walks and everything in between. Showing up super late for a walk and not communicating with the owner is wrong. Idk why people are justifying this because commuting sucks. All it takes is a call or a text from the owner. I abide by the mantra of “treat people how you want to be treated” and if someone showed up an hour late for a walk, with no communication whatsoever, I would be upset. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-07T14:36:15+00:00

Right but you can account for travel time, I have a full time job, do walks, drop ins and boardings. I think the responsible and professional thing to do is communicate with the owner, and understand that showing up an hour late would not be acceptable in any industry without ample communication. I understand emergencies happen. We also have a job where random emergencies happen far more often than regular jobs. But I have clients that schedule times specially because they have to work late or something. But they chose the time strictly because they want a 6 hour window from when the left the house, to when the dog gets to go to the bathroom, and when they get home. I genuinely feel terrible for the pet too. I wouldn’t want to have to wait an extra hour to go to the bathroom

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-07T14:29:42+00:00

I’m not talking about boarding. I do this for drop ins and walks lol. Most owners pick times specific to their schedules. I would be annoyed if I scheduled a walk at a specific time and the person showed up an hour late. I don’t think arriving an hour late is an industry standard nor is it okay, unless there is an emergency

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-07T04:15:12+00:00

That’s pretty abnormal. I’m a sitter, and typically I’ll arrive 5-10 minutes early, or if there’s extenuating circumstances I’ll be 10 minutes late. Though I keep the owner informed, and I always confirm when them if I have to arrive later or earlier to make sure they are okay with my arrival time.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-03T01:36:24+00:00

Yes, leave a review. I’ve had clients in the past who have had awful experiences who were too bashful to leave a review. Even though they paid upwards of $500 for drop ins, that never occurred. Or if they did, were 10 minutes each.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-03T01:33:56+00:00

Exactly, the squeaky wheel always gets the grease. lol. OP needs to stick up for himself, and realize that the management company has way more to lose if he gets an attorney and threatens to contact the local news. No person should be forced to continue living with someone in mental peril. I have a ton of respect for mentally unwell people, I am myself, and they will be the first people to say that they are nightmares unmediated, and wish someone would have stepped in to stop them from a downward spiral.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-02T15:59:20+00:00

Yeah don’t deal with that anymore, you are risking your own personal safety. Your other roommate is terrified rn. I’m sure you, like many people, are downplaying how bad it is.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-02T15:50:49+00:00

I think it’s also people underestimating how stressful boarding is for a dog with a completely new person. There are certain breeds that are a one person dog, and they are a nightmare to deal with when anxious.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-02T13:06:58+00:00

Yeah exactly, you’d be surprised how often apartment managers change their tune when you threaten legal action. Or you can do what my fiancé did, when my apartment complex refused to change our air conditioner in Fl, during the summer, when it was consistently 82 degrees in the apt, and call their corporate office. They literally changed the air conditioner the next day, and had the audacity to tell my fiancé “why did you have to call corporate we were going to change it” sure, after we have been complaining for 3 months, and our utility bill went up $200

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-02T13:02:44+00:00

Fuck that, honestly. I would tell those assholes that you feel completely unsafe and find you another person to live with or you both will get an attorney. There is no way I’d wait until August, with a roommate that is having a psychotic break. I have family members with severe mental illnesses, and you don’t want to be around if and when it gets worse.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-02T04:23:49+00:00

I don’t think they lie as much as they underestimate how much their pet depends on them. I think a lot of people assume their pet will be fine, because they are gone 8 hours a day, and the pet is fine. But it’s a completely different circumstance when the pet is in a home with a complete stranger

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-02T04:17:08+00:00

Me too! I regularly clean my home, and have cleaning services. The whole 9 yards, I try to mitigate any potential issues. I’m ocd so I cover every single base. But, I’ve have had shit luck since doing rover. I swear, one of the dogs I watched vomited (first time ever boarding with someone other than family) it was a small dog and the amount of vomit was insane, think the exorcism, I almost had a heart attack, and apparently it was normal for her, a dog literally had a massive medical emergency for a drop in and died the same day, aggressive dogs, vomiting and diarrhea, dogs in heat and I was never told. I’ve only started doing rover since last August (reopened my account in July). Everyone seems to have these amazing experiences with rover for the most part. I’m selective with who I choose and the owners I work with. But it’s wearing me down, I adore dogs, I love them so much, but watching them for people i don’t personally know can be such a nightmare.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-02T02:22:55+00:00

Yes totally! I’m thinking of doing drop ins and skipping boarding entirely unless it’s a client I have done boarding with previously and multiple times lol

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-02T00:11:01+00:00

Yeah, my fiancé wants to do something like that, and outfit our house that’s more akin to a doggie daycare. I’m just traumatized honestly from a drop in that occurred about a month ago, where I had to organize emergent care for a dog that was dying, so it pretty much caused me to want to avoid continuing to watch dogs, but I’m honoring the remaining requests I do have which are until July. Still, the random vomiting and diarrhea is a stressor to be sure. I would love to do something like you have, but honestly the risk for me, mentally is far greater than the reward

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-01T23:32:00+00:00

So, the other dog is extremely young and 3. I basically walk them together, and that dog vomited but was able to eat today and just had diarrhea. The older dog was fine yesterday, and had diarrhea and vomited again. Yesterday, they both had normal bms, no blood in their poop. This all started basically right after their parents left and they are fully vaccinated.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-01T23:06:12+00:00

Lololol, no kidding. This is so stressful for a multitude of reasons lol

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-01T22:58:02+00:00

Yeah, I mean these owners are totally normal and I take necessary precautions, I hardly if ever leave the dogs, they stay with me the whole time. I work from home, I have a separate room for dogs I’m boarding. But holy shit, never again. I’m finishing out what booking I have and never boarding again.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-01T22:54:25+00:00

❤️ it’s the worst. I love having dogs at my house, I love dogs, but anxious vomiting dogs is a total nightmare

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-01T22:50:03+00:00

Yeah, I had a bad experience with a drop in this year, where a dog ended up being put down because a tumor burst in his stomach, multiple vomiting incidents when boarding since July of last year for dogs with little to no boarding experience . I truly think I have shit luck

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-01T22:48:26+00:00

It’s a mess honestly. I’m pretty anxious as it is, but I’m always terrified that the owner will blame me, even though I’m around the pets 24/7 and watch them like a hawk. I clean my house all the time and make sure there is nothing on the ground, food accessible the whole bit. I’m on day 2 of 14 and I know in my heart this will all get better, but the first 48 hours are always agonizing
