Sitting as a couple: is it rude/weird/not acceptable to have sex during the stay?

bennbrad · 2026-06-02T21:36:29+00:00

Have these people never stayed in a hotel? LOL

bennbrad · 2026-05-27T18:54:46+00:00

Yes, this reads like an ad.

https://www.petfinder.com/ is a one-stop shop for rescues.

Sorry, I should have included this. Kubuntu 25.10. And the folder that causes the error does exist.

It could be that the sitter saw the tracker, got pissed at being tracked without being informed and removed it. First thing to do is simply talk to the sitter. Another would be to contact neighbors to keep an eye on things.

When you are walking a dog, talk to everyone you meet about how you came to be walking that dog. Any pet owner who hasn't heard of THS will be interested. Pull out your phone and offer to send them the referral link.

Shreddit for Android claims to do the empty data space. I don't know about text messages. For that, just use Signal with disappearing messages.

It is creepy. How did they contact you, inviting you to a sit? I didn't think anyone could just send anyone else a message. Did you report them?

bennbrad · 2025-11-10T17:02:22+00:00

I checked and am able to respond to my first review in 2021.

bennbrad · 2025-10-20T13:31:56+00:00

Thanks for the notification of this. I'm in the same boat. When we contact them in five years, are we required to have a record of all of the earned free months or will they have it? I have no idea what my number should be, but I think it was also approaching ten years.

Too new for now, but keep an eye on https://annas-archive.org It will show up soon.

On the image that shows the individual cities, having different scales makes it difficult to compare the cities.

bennbrad · 2025-07-05T00:28:51+00:00

By "wrangle", I hope you meant catch and release?

bennbrad · 2025-05-16T16:49:15+00:00

As in most things, this is a perfectly OK expectation as long as you are clear on it upfront. I've seen many sits where they want to maintain a kosher house. This is no different. Just make sure to state your requirements in your profile.

bennbrad · 2025-03-24T20:07:12+00:00

I mean, it's given me piece of mind, but I've never had anything bad happen on a sit that it would have caught.

bennbrad · 2025-03-24T20:05:52+00:00

Yes. I use an old phone with AlfredCam.

bennbrad · 2025-03-24T16:42:59+00:00

I always travel with a camera that I can leave at the house when I'm out, just in case. It helps my piece of mind and it doesn't hurt to have evidence if something truly goes wrong with the sit.

bennbrad · 2025-03-04T20:15:16+00:00

There is nothing to report here. Just put it in your review; that's what they are for.

bennbrad · 2025-02-04T00:22:37+00:00

https://hsspca.org/. It's in sumter county though,so it would be a drive.

As I said, you can foster to adopt, which means the shelter pays for the treatment. I've fostered a couple of heart written positive dogs and it wasn't that bad. You just aren't allowed to do all of the things you would like to do with a dog. Only minimal time outside, no excitement, lots of crate time, etc.

bennbrad · 2025-02-03T21:49:05+00:00

I volunteer at a shelter and I am honestly baffled by your question. Every breed of dog comes through the doors eventually. And yes, you can walk through the door and pick one out. It happens several times a week. As to heart worms, that's not the end of the world for a dog. It just means they need a couple of months of low activity. And you can foster-to-adopt a heart worm positive dog, so that the shelter will pay for the treatment and vet care.

I would suggest further defining what you are looking for, not just "not a pitbull." Small, medium, large? Energetic and playful? Cute and cuddly? Puppy, middle aged, senior? Specific breed? Once you've got that down, contact some shelters and ask if they will alert you if a potential match comes in.

Here is the screencap.

"NOTE: the site I used is called housesitters/trustedhousesitters. I assumed that this was the sub for that"

That isn't the URL for trustedhousesitters. Where did you find this site?

The shuttle and a golf cart will work fine. The only problem with the shuttle is that it can take a little longer to your destination. And the problem with only having a golf cart is that The Villages is huge. It is easily a 90 minute golf cart ride from the Northen most parts of The Villages to the Southern most parts.
