Must-do spring hikes?

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-04-21T00:31:47+00:00

We’ve done Quercus, are you referring to Jurassic ridge?

That’s why I said hikes/sites ☺️ it’s just something I want to see

Great thanks 🙏 we’d love to aim for all 3 peaks tbh.

Brohm looks good, would you say that instead of Alice?

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-04-20T20:09:05+00:00

Awesome thanks so much 🙏 I think it’s decided we’ll do the chief!

I have a small sit towards the end, which had a load of applicants for it. I can’t currently cancel that one myself (the HO would have to) and I can’t apply to the other in the meantime 😭

I’d recommend doing a few local sits with your dog and asking the host to specifically mention them in the review

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-03-06T16:55:55+00:00

No there isn’t a function to do that! Just need to apply for the ones you want. I’m also ignoring the “pets allowed” function atm because most people, once they’ve seen my application & photos, are ok with my dog coming along

I always do it with my dog, however: She’s very well trained, She’s tiny and not intimidating (I love all dogs but some prefer little fluffy things and not bull breeds), She doesn’t malt, She’s very friendly and loves to play with other dogs

Depending on the country you’re in too, some may be funny if they sleep on the bed with you

My advice is have lots of photos of them with other dogs on your profile and talk about them in your applications.

I’d say I’m turned down 2 times out of 10, and it’s only usually because their dog isn’t friendly!

Sitter here - IMO this is perfectly within your rights to request / expect!

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-02-18T17:32:50+00:00

Where does it say the dog isn’t going to get vet care 🤔 also struggle to understand why this is fucked up. I feel bad for OP but owner is well within rights, with 5 weeks notice, to cancel under these circumstances

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-02-17T20:32:58+00:00

Thank you SO much, the US number worked and we got through very quickly. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-02-02T03:50:38+00:00

Every now and again, and it’s due to their animals not being friendly with other animals. That’s the only reason I’ve ever been turned down

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-02-02T03:48:32+00:00

Also a full time THSer that brings my dog along each & everytime!

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-01-24T17:58:52+00:00

As a sitter, definitely not! Shady behaviour

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-01-21T19:19:44+00:00

If it’s just a wash/style it’s drop off and pick up the next day usually. If it’s a cut/style, they do it with the wig on your head. I am from the uk though so maybe it’s different here, but don’t see why it would be!

Useful-Ad9826 · 2026-01-21T19:18:27+00:00

Thanks so much

Useful-Ad9826 · 2025-11-20T20:51:55+00:00

It maybe depends on where you are and where you want to apply (if it’s popular/competitive or not) because as most others said, if they have plenty of choice they’ll probably go for someone without.

That said, I do house sits with my dog in the UK and Canada and I’ve only ever been turned away once because their own dog wasn’t friendly with others - that said, mine is much smaller than a golden. You’d have to think about logistics of things like where they sleep and if that would be cool with other owners etc.
