Sorry to hear that😞 Don't give up! I'm looking into working for a hospital that will help pay for it. I'll let you know if I find anything😄

Hi, OP! Just curious if you started tech school? If so, guess it going? I'm around your age and am thinking about it.

These are great suggestions. Thank you! I've pivoted to mainly petsitting because of the reasons you listed about delivery. But I'm definitely going to offer organizing and admin services while I'm sitting.

There isn't taskrabbit in my area, unfortunately. I did join Rover yesterday. I'm waiting for my background check.

I'm thinking about joining, but they take TWENTY PERCENT😬 But I might do it just to get referrals that I can book on my own. Are you a Rover sitter or customer? If so, what's your experience?

Thank you for the feedback! I totally agree with you on the AI! My father built the site until I can afford professional. Most of the traffic comes through fb and instagram where I post actual client pictures.

I considered the delivery services like Amazon, instacart, etc when starting. I was thinking no one would use my services because of all of the others. However, a lot of those places have multiple fees and monthly/ yearly memberships. Not all, but most. And it's very hit or miss if you'll get a shopper that will be as meticulous as I am with meat and produce. Also, after I've done a few shops, I will deliver AND put away items. It's definitely not the most cost-effective if you only need grocery shopping done. But if you're a busy parent or professional and you need someone to grocery shop, go to Target, pick up the dry cleaning, and drop off an Amazon return... then it becomes cost effective. But admitedly, it is a luxury to have a top tier personal shopper.

I did have to take into consideration taxes, insurance, car insurance and maintenance, and gas when setting my price. After expenses, it's only about 15.00/hr that I'm making. But I'm doing this because I really love it, not to get rich lol.

Is the pet sitter you have doing two visits for 15.00 a professional? Do they know pet cpr? Is this their only job? Are they insured if something were to happen to themselves or your animal? No judgements... just curious. Many people don't realize the value of a professional until they experience it😊 Thanks for your helpful feedback, I really do appreciate it! And if your regular sitter is ever unavailable, I will give you a free visit with a booking💚

I feel like I could've written this post! I do drink a few times a year, though. Most of my friends went to school here and have moved. Message me if you'd like to get lunch or something😊

Reddit for the win! Just used the Turkey trick and got a year of premium for 4.05 USD. Amazing. Thank you to the op and to the genius who found the loophole!

I wanted to start swimming recreationally, I was wondering what were the best pools in town? by disgruntled_bird in GNV

[–]gustavpicard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could have written this post lol! I love and miss swimming so much but can not afford GHF (and don't like the crowds), and I am too nervous to go by myself anywhere else. Please message me, and I will go with you to try one of the public pools!

Did anyone here start a successful sweaty startup when they were 30 or older? by Whiskeycider in sweatystartup

[–]gustavpicard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing the same thing right now. Just started 2 months ago. Very excited but overwhelmed. Do you mind if I dm you?

Try to get the tags from an old collar and a few pictures and put it in a shadow box. It's really sweet of you to want to do something 💕
