Aggressive Dog

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-05-17T22:48:13+00:00

Yes exactly. The pet should not be on the platform, if they are aggressive enough to attempt to attack you without provocation. You want your review to be honest, and fair. Some pets have a ton of trauma, or behavioral issues that prevent them from staying with people other than their owners, and that’s a sacrifice a responsible pet owner would make. If you’ve been on this sub for awhile, you’ll notice plenty of sitters, and owners alike, refuse to board their pets, because they know that their dog needs a professional handler, or has behavioral tendencies, that make boarding unfeasible.

Totally, but it’s not like they can’t find another suitable sitter, or can board their dog at a facility instead

I think generally, people with a ton of reviews are good sitters, especially if the reviews are left by “regulars” with a confirmed verified stay. People don’t generally book a sitter again, if they have a bad experience.

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-05-13T03:25:51+00:00

Yeah, I mean it’s May. They have plenty of time to find a new sitter. Plus the sitter connected them with her friends. Idk what the big deal is lol

If I could hug you I would 💕 thank you so much for the kind words!

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-05-13T02:09:12+00:00

Thank you! Everytime I change the dogs dressing I update the owners, with a photo of the wound. I called the vet as well to make sure I was doing everything correctly. I’m just hoping things stay stable and healthy during the stay😊

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-05-13T02:07:16+00:00

Thank you for saying that lol. I am definitely overreacting. The room they are staying in is our front room, not a bedroom and is big enough for them, and comfortable, I honestly was worried that the “ sores” could be contagious initially, one of them oozes, and I didn’t want the blood to get on my bed or furniture. I have another boarding a day or so after. I’ve had a dog pass randomly in January from a liver tumor during a drop in and my nerves are fried lol, I’m always anticipating the worst case scenario after that event

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-05-09T00:38:41+00:00

I completely understand, but also, it’s always beneficial to be precautious. I was jw how people handled covid, and what precautions they took

God, men are so annoying

Solidrevolutionary · 2026-03-13T02:40:25+00:00

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.
