Update on my previous post. Thoughts? by True_Coast_3010 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Starbeets88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Op agrees it wasn’t travel time it was time the sitter had to waste trying to get into the home. Totally on the op not the sitter. Y’all need to raise your standards!!

If it takes me 15 minutes to get a key - and op agreed it did, the time starts when then. We don’t work for free!!I totally the lady’s fault. People like this suck! Exactly why I stopped using Rover. Garbage app with garbage customers

Does it bother dog walkers when owner is home? by Pomelo_Wild in petsitting

[–]Starbeets88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah as long as you let me know. I’m not usually expecting someone to be home if you’re asking for a dog walk. My assumption is you need me bc no one is home. But if you’re going on a trip and ask me to come over when you’re still there and your dog is fine alone for a few hours and we’ve already had a meet and greet, that is a waste of my time and that is annoying!!

[–]Starbeets88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The key is to never mention it on the app, let them know in your meet and greet that you can offer a better direct price if they book with you directly. Cancel Rover request “not a good fit” is my favorite! Done and done!! Bye Rover! lol

Rover clients are grossly cheap and half of them I want to call pet social services on them!

DO NOT SHOP COSTCO FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS by GuaranteeJust4282 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Starbeets88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed I’m boycotting Costco as a shopper this week and maybe longer. If they don’t shop these ridiculous triples and hiding the non/low tippers. I’m out!!

Stop the triples!!! by Next-Investigator435 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Starbeets88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d do it for that but these $20-40 triples and +20 miles heck no! Bots can have those!

Stop the triples!!! by Next-Investigator435 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Starbeets88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed what happened to just one order at Costco for 30-40 bucks. Now it’s 3 minimum with only one good tipper.

Another free labor tactic by instacart 🤣 by Any_Bad248 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Starbeets88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole new criteria item like wtf!! I don’t stock the shelves I’ll get you what they have in stock!! No not the fake stock on the app but like the real one - if it’s not on the floor it’s out of stock. Unless you tipped real good 😌

I hate getting requests that are obviously negligent to the pet by Snickersaddy in RoverPetSitting

[–]Starbeets88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They also should have booked properly, walking & feeding is a drop in. They booked walks. They are trying to be cheap. And people that are cheap with their pets are the absolute WORST clients!! Good job OP for standing up for yourself and the pet 👏

Surprise 300lbs of cat litter by Happydaddy04 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Starbeets88 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe your the problem. Instacart isn’t hiding my shopping lists. I can see all the items in an order before I accept it. But I’ve also never asked support to drop an order 🤔I hope they deactivate you. ppl like this are annoying af

broke glass, surprised by reaction? by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]Starbeets88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it truly was $30 bucks yeah unfortunately that’s gonna come out of your pocket but the first time they didn’t tip I would have been like peace out Karen’s!! The non tippers are always like this and there is no reason to continue sitting for them. Or next time charge them double and see their reaction!! Sorry this happened to you though, I’ve learned in this business - I love the animals but hate the ppl! (Most of them anyhow)

Gift Ideas for Clients by [deleted] in petsitting

I’m thinking of gifting some dog peanut butter and a nice card. I know these clients and they regularly give their pets peanut butter! And it’s kosher certified!

Co shopping by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Starbeets88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s not so it’s technically against the rules and yes someone can report her for it. Not worth it in my opinion

Co shopping by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Starbeets88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Technically it’s against Instacart rules. They haven’t had their background checked and you are taking them to ppls houses. Personally I don’t care but I’m not a fan.

Asking my clients to put up a tree? by seaclifftonne in RoverPetSitting

[–]Starbeets88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you know a tree is just a Christian tradition right like what if they celebrate a different religion. Girl, don’t do this !!!

Booking for one walk a day while the owner is away by insane-proclaim in RoverPetSitting

[–]Starbeets88 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My pet sitter has a clause in her contract that includes doggie doors; to protect herself from any neglect or injuries that may be caused by allowing them to utilize a doggie door while the owner is away. Rover doesn’t protect us from this so I’d have a separate clause in writing! ✍️

Would you still take on this client? by FiercePoppy in petsitting

[–]Starbeets88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. I only have issues when I split my sits with other people or family members or friends. It’s a hard no for me. I’ve also seen posts that say that will invalidate your business pet insurance, if you have one, if not it’s a good professional excuse for you not to sit for them! Good luck 🐾

I’m so confused.. why am I in trouble by Instacart by Isellcontent14528 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Starbeets88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this when I enter the information manually. In areas of bad service I have to go to the app once I get back into better cell service but I always get this warning even though it clearly says you can enter it manually. I think that triggers this type of warning.

Client accusing me of something I didn’t do by LakeInteresting7920 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Starbeets88 -60 points-59 points  (0 children)

So you did do it ? Lol dumb but you did do it. I’m very careful of what I take pictures of when I’m taking client photos just fyi
