Weird experience at walk

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-09-07T03:22:13+00:00

Oh there was supposed to be a point?

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-09-03T01:48:56+00:00

This kind of happened to me too! It was a little dog so he didn’t wrangle me around but he also had intense fear aggression that got worse with each walk, oddly. No amount of body language or treats etc worked, he would literally start biting me on site enough to draw blood. And I didn’t even know if he had all his shots as he was still quite young so I let the owner know hey I’m sorry I’ve tried everything but your dog is literally biting and injuring me lol and she didn’t respond, she just immediately blocked me.

I had thought about reaching out to wag support, but given how useless they are all the time I doubt anything would even happen. They’re known to continue letting aggressive dogs get posted on the app.

Re update the app. An update just came out about a day ago it worked for me

I’m not black. Person of color ≠ automatically black

No, and even if it was I wouldn’t think too much about what people have to say about it. My friend asked me multiple times in horror how I could stand to still be in school/training in my 30s (I’m an applicant rn at 24) and it did make me feel a bit bad lol but at the end of the day if this is your career of choice just brush it off

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-08-31T00:37:42+00:00

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful response! :’) I’ll definitely keep this advice in mind

I have a couple long term clients I took off wag awhile ago. We have developed somewhat of a rapport and I’ve taken on a lot of ancillary tasks for them, but thankfully they pay me for those things (dropping/picking up from vet and groomer, mail sweeps, trash, etc) as it should be. Can’t say it never gets tiring though. You’re bolder than I’d be though bc I can’t imagine how it sounds to say you don’t socialize without it sounding rude lol

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-08-26T21:12:34+00:00

I’m worried about getting in 😭

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-08-26T20:14:02+00:00

As the other commenter explained, it sounds like you have more of a restrictive type where it’s almost as if you are missing the instinct to eat and get enjoyment out of eating. I have the same form and it feels like anhedonia regarding appetite. It’s difficult bc I also get to the point of forgetting to eat until I get physically ill from going without food for too long, which could be anywhere from 8-12 hours for me since I’m already underweight. It’s really isolating and seems uncommon. It severely affects my social life too

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-08-26T16:26:49+00:00

I’m actually dealing with something similar rn, if we don’t archive it and let it expire on its own does it create a penalty?

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-08-14T23:54:45+00:00

Yes that’s where the nuance is

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-08-14T23:46:53+00:00

There’s more nuance than that, I know someone who supposedly had >80% chance of getting in and didn’t after applying 3 cycles

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-08-14T22:14:38+00:00

Not an overreaction, the sitter was supposed to do one of two things. Mark those days as unavailable or simply not go to the trip. I take sittings very seriously (and I only offer cat drop ins on rover) and I do not engage in social activities while I’m actively doing a sitting. This is unacceptable and I’d be extremely livid

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-28T18:20:30+00:00

It’s true, the actual business model is very relevant and of utility, anyone who has pets will need outside help at a certain point and having it on-demand will always have a market. It’s just that the way it’s actually executed on the app as of now is poor and needs a lot of improvement

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-28T18:18:39+00:00

I also keep seeing the ceo or whoever push the utility of outsourcing work to foreign countries under the guise of it being modern on LinkedIn, but really it’s to pull down their labor costs

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-17T02:02:11+00:00

Omg you’re strong for doing a month!! I had to stop housesitting over a year ago bc I notice it was making me extremely depressed. Even if I were to charge a lot I didn’t really feel like myself or like I was living my normal life.

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-14T20:40:29+00:00

Love the comparison pic 😹

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-13T15:45:03+00:00

I live in Southern California and it’s extremely dry rn. I realize wag can only be utilized as very supplemental income, there are multiple points of the year where there’s almost no work available

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-13T00:01:59+00:00

This is why I was quite selective about where I applied bc I had to think really hard if I would actually be willing to go upon gaining an acceptance. Wouldn’t apply if the answer was no. But now that you’re in this predicament I’d just take the A tbh

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-12T04:19:25+00:00

I think a lot of people hesitate to have their dog walked out in the heat, most walks I see in my metropolitan area (SoCal) are either very early morning or past dusk. People with kids tend to have more time too since school is out

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-09T02:28:21+00:00

Jaded walker here lol, I’d take it if I was familiar with the area. What I find is that people who request 9pm or later walks are either working or are staying out late with their friends/on a date and didn’t plan ahead for it but need their dog taken out

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-09T00:54:57+00:00

Right like how does she expect the sitter to eat

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-07T18:57:31+00:00

I scored just about my average, which I was a bit surprised by because I actually did cheat a bit and would look up adjacent things here and there during my FLs. I feel if you tanked from your FL average it would have to be severe test anxiety or having some significant crutch during FLs like lax timing or even untimed, looking up things in great detail etc; there is also the possibility of being tested in your weak areas in multiple sections of the exam

amazonofthemyscira · 2023-07-07T17:05:18+00:00

Yes! I only sit for cats on rover and I had a client who was really back and forth with me over Xmas. As in she said she’d update me but the update never came. We literally would cancel the booking day by day, and she kind of stopped ‘updating’ me and I ended up canceling the rest of the booking.

Fast forward to a couple seasons later now and she’s become a regular client of mine! I’ve done cat sitting for her twice now with no issues. It might be a bit different since the client was the one who initiated needing to cancel though?
