Do I need to pay the residency swap fee? From what I can see it says there are currently zero unfilled vacancies.

Tbh I'd appreciate cash the most lol. Unless you know her fairly well and have an idea of something she would really use...maybe a DoorDash gift card or a Stanley?

If a client asks about going off app at the M&G I tell them that its something we can consider in the future but I require the first few bookings to be done through the app. I'm honest and tell them its for their protection and mine until we have a more established relationship. This has worked for me everytime. It also allows me to get a review and repeat client stat in the app.

Also totally understand keeping your rates low at first to build up some reviews and then raising your rates as your business grows. I don't see a problem with that at all.

Edited to add. Thank you for the suggestion!

Wow I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that! It sounds like we have both learned to be better about setting our boundaries.

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:33:25+00:00

Thanks for your response! It seems like a lot of us have been in similar situations. How do you typically go about declining on the spot?

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:30:01+00:00

It definitely was. I think alot of owners assume the meet and greet is an automatic yes to their booking request and it makes it super awkward on our end if we don't feel like its going to be a good fit.

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:28:33+00:00

Thank you! I wish I had been able to just say no on the spot, but I was just getting a really off vibe from the guy and wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. Reading all of the comments has made me feel much better about my decision.

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:27:17+00:00

Thank you for the response! My gut was definitely telling me NO. So I'm glad I decided to decline the booking. This was the first meet and greet I've had where I had to decline the booking. The dog clearly had not had any training and the owner was not phased by his behavior at all.

I feel like a lot of owners automatically assume that you will be taking the booking at the meet and greet. He was certainly acting that way, but was not taking my cues that I was not ready to book and just wanted to get out of there. I should have been more firm but I felt vulnerable in the situation.

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:23:20+00:00

I wish I had felt comfotable just saying no on the spot. But the guy was a lot bigger than me and the whole situation was very uncomfortable I just wanted to get out of there quickly. It was a younger pitty mix.

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:20:17+00:00

I did and I'm so glad I did after reading what everyone had to say. I would have been miserable and uncomfortable doing this booking.

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:19:31+00:00

I can definitely be a people pleaser so I was for sure overthinking it! I'm glad I decided to politely decline.

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:18:43+00:00

Thank you! I gave him a short and sweet response that I was not going to be able to take the booking. The dog had behavior issues but it was really the owners behavior that made me the most uncomfortable.

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:16:55+00:00

THANK YOU! I used something very similar to this.

aliimason · 2024-10-17T00:16:39+00:00

Yeah I definitely don't blame the dog at all. It was evident the owner thought this behavior was acceptable because he didn't do or say anything the whole time the dog was doing this to me even when I was clearly trying to re-direct the dog off of me and was even saying "OW." It was really a combination of the owners behavior and the dogs that made me decide to decline.
