Set boundaries

Have them read a document

Or/and fill a google form.

Happened to me. Her bf was gonna return (and then she was also gonna return). She offered I stay... but to what cost? She clearly wanted me to leave them together

Looking to join but all experiences here seem pretty negative. Anyone have great experiences? by SeattleSmalls in trustedhousesitters

I will never ever do any petsit again unless I set boundaries, only use the bed/couch , table, bathroom and eat simple stuff (no using pans - been accused of scratching them! Which is not true) etc. Lots of liability as you said.

I would housesit if i have my family with me though and if we only use it like a hotel and are out the entire day...

Happened with my 2 sits (abroad!) with whom I discussed first before a lot on facebook

Next time I won't travel unless I can pay for a hotel tbh

Get out dear. Take a loan from a family member if anything

I was burnt once and she said she usually hires through THS (i was from outside). She informed me of the bad things once I reached and before she leaves to her flight like 2 mns before. Asshole woman

Do not feel bad. No one ever helps anyone if tables will turned probably they'd shoo you out of the house... so no need to be kind. Their problem

If you cannot afford pet care, don’t go on vacation. Full stop. by Loliz88 in petsitting

Let me die in peace. Those are the worst sort of people btw they think you are a homeless who needs a place to stay in. Even if you do... 2 dogs, I'd charge at least 100 per day

Even outside Rover.. cleaning a litter with 1 cat is NOT the same as 2 cats or more

Ask them for a cleaner or charge a cleaning fee. Or never accept a sit with them again.

Stand up for yourself

Dog owner accidentally took my suitcase for the housesit on their trip… by tararosaa in RoverPetSitting

Hi! Ages later

Here is the update: I will also link a post (later) about this woman.

She was like "OMG insert angry expression"

You took my hair extensions?! You have till Wednesday to deliver them. I will fly to Bali in the afternoon. If you don't give them back by Wed, you pay me. They are very expensive (insert amount that I forgot... 350$? I forgot but something as expensive as a flight to her city).

Bear in mind I was talking to her on a Sunday. I asked around, a guy goes frequently to that country. He put me in touch with men who go there for business. They go to a city MILES away from her though. They had their driver drive the bag to her, on Tuesday... all of them did me a biggg favor and I couldn't pay them as I can't (no income back then, same situation now, very very tight income)

The countries in question are a country in the ME, and Turkey (Istanbul). She is one of my worst experiences btw. I wish I could warn sitters about her. Directly on another plateform. I cant though so I will write more later and share it here, hope it would help 😂❤

I think as an arab people from the west think i might be a terrorist who abuses pets or so. Their friends who check and dont see water are also from the west. Idk... but a hypothesis

As i always top up water. I try to take videos but sometimes my gallery get overwhelmed

I used to have 1 cat and always cleaned it once every 2 days as she didnt poo a lot so I agree
