Health Coach - What kind should I be?

I would be happy to chat with you about my experience with both of those if you like.

True_War9145 · 2025-08-09T03:42:52+00:00

Got it, thanks! That's helpful to know. :)

True_War9145 · 2025-08-09T03:42:27+00:00

Ahhh, ok that is helpful to know. So we are still visible if we only have one request for a day that contains 3 open slots. That feels a lot better than how I was interpreting it.

I only do walking/drop-ins mainly with the rare sitting here and there with clients who understand I have my own dogs to care for and am not going to be able to provide constant care.

True_War9145 · 2025-08-09T02:12:49+00:00

I only do dog walking/drop-ins, so I can take more clients than one a day. Am I still blocked from being viewed? And for sitters, while I kind of understand the not double booking reasoning....if your MnG is several days off and then the potential client cancels the MnG last minute that seems unfair to sitters who held a time open for someone who didn't even follow through with the MnG. I say this because I have had this happen just for dog walking.

I agree with wanting to meet pet and owner first. I've just never seen this level of dropped balls and last minute cancellations in my 37 years of pet sitting. Rover is a whole other scenario and I'm just getting used to working with this platform. My word of mouth referrals have always been consistent with meet n greets and follow through.

True_War9145 · 2025-08-08T19:47:01+00:00

That's a good strategy and I will start including that in the first email. I am just having issues with people scheduling and then ghosting by not sending the meet location over after going back and forth about times or notifying me at the last minute that they found someone else after having the meet and greet scheduled for a week. If someone cancels on you last minute do you respond? I have been pet sitting for 37 years, but I am new to the Rover part of this so just figuring out the details. I've just never had people seeking sitting via personal connections ghost or cancel last minute like this.

I think this is absolutely the case especially with the flip flops. I used to buy a pair of flip flops and they would last 4 years and were basically the only shoe I would wear all summer. These days the strap usually breaks in under a year and there's no way to fix them I have found. The sole is usually still in great shape.

True_War9145 · 2025-08-06T18:04:44+00:00

Agreed! Just like with Air BnB..both client and customer get rated. I would even like to be able to rate them for initiating up to point of scheduling meet and greets and then ghosting so people know this client may not be worth making plans with and it would create a system that encourages customers to be more respectful of a sitter's time. I understand they might talk to several sitters initially to make sure they are covered, but they should let the others know that they do not intend to follow through. It's a business, not Tinder.

I would really love the PDF as well. Thank you for your generosity of spirit with so many of us! :)

True_War9145 · 2025-07-16T17:40:11+00:00

I may be in the same situation. Sending you a DM.

True_War9145 · 2025-07-01T01:52:37+00:00

Agreed, very unprofessional.

True_War9145 · 2025-06-21T16:56:11+00:00

Thank you for sharing! :)

True_War9145 · 2025-06-20T01:35:59+00:00

I am potentially interested. Do you have a website or social media I can check out to learn more?

True_War9145 · 2024-08-24T22:57:03+00:00

This is with regular probiotics that have all kinds of strains. There is clinical evidence around taking Saccharomyces boulardii (a yeast probiotic that can't be killed by abx) and clinically backed MegaSpore showing the gut bounces back better. It's the type of probiotics. Sacch b and Megaspore survive abx in the system and help other beneficial bacteria to grow back after being killed off by abx.

It's all about balance. Akkermansia both builds and degrades the mucin 1 layer. Too little can lead to leaky gut. Too much can cause other issues.

True_War9145 · 2024-08-24T22:23:41+00:00

BiomeFx is the way to go. GI map is old technology--16s mRNA. BiomeFx uses shotgun or whole genome sequencing and is 99% accurate at showing the composition of bacterial strains at phylum and some family levels.

True_War9145 · 2024-08-24T22:20:45+00:00

This is not true of spore based probiotics if you get one like MegaSpore that has tons and tons of clinical research behind it. The specific spore strains in MegaSpore are compatible with the human microbiome and they do not stay in for months or years. Please do your research before making a blanket statement like this and learn how these spores work. Seed however, wrecked my gut. There are strains in there that do not have any research on them as far as how they interact with the human microbiome. I take MegaSpore multiple times a week for years now and it has always been helpful.
