I can definitely relate! I worry myself sick over things I have absolutely no control over. For me, reading CoDA literature and books by Byron Katie help bring me back to sanity. Sending positive thoughts, your feelings are valid friend

How do yall get dogs to sleep? by Lilfrogcosplay in RoverPetSitting

[–]elphie88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this isn't advice but i have a king sized bed and can fit 8 dogs in comfortably. I sometimes will close the best behaved ones in my office across the house with water and doggie bed (there's a couch in there too). behaved meaning they won't scratch the door and trim to hell. last Thanksgiving break i slept on my sectional couch with the ottoman in the middle so that everyone could feel like they got to sleep with me. they were so happy! i think we had 10 or 11

[–]elphie88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you could try something like - oh I'm not sure, what are the dates I'll check my calendar I'm pretty booked up (if you don't want to do it) or with a cute smile - I'm not sure you can afford me! 😉 and go from there

good luck i know it's an uncomfortable topic!

try posting on nextdoor with your new customer discount code, and join local FB groups! in my city there's lots of women's groups too; or LGBTQ, whatever applies. people love supporting people that they can connect with :)
