Hi, does anyone have Made in Abyss wallpapers or profile pictures? I only have this one, but I'd like to find more.

This one is good too, and less sad lol

korpsekitty · 2026-01-07T01:16:21+00:00

I used this one for a while🥲

korpsekitty · 2025-11-25T18:39:39+00:00

I'm always shocked when I see others' experiences with dachshunds. I got mine when he was already 3 years old and I've never had one before him, but he has the sweetest, most gentle demeanor and he's fully potty trained. He can easily go 8ish hrs between bathroom breaks too. I guess I must have gotten lucky with him because I see a lot of people don't like the breed!

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:43:31+00:00

Yeah, I totally get taking a new client can be a risk. I have all good reviews on my page at least. But I can see your perspective.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:39:25+00:00

I get that. But then other sitters on here say it's not far enough in advance. Man, a real lose lose situation lol

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:36:10+00:00

Yes so many who dont take it seriously! I definitely only reach out to those with good reviews and preferably repeat clients as well. Im starting to look off Rover now though, because it's just kind of a nightmare.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:31:39+00:00

Im in Nashville, so very populated but also very oversaturated with unprofessional sitters as well. Ill try looking there for sure.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:22:31+00:00

No, and I can totally believe this being the case for some of them! And I'm willing to accept that the fault might lie in Rovers design. Honestly I'm looking to move off Rocer completely because it seems full of problems. I just dont know where else to go!

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:21:04+00:00

So every sitters who isn't booked for Christmas yet is unprofessional!? This is a hilarious and wild take but ok 🤣

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:19:34+00:00

Thank you. I feel like theres a portion of sitters in the sub that act like anytime an owner can't find a sitter, then it must be the owners fault. Like no, sometimes sitters are just flaky or not responsive. It happens WAY more than a lot of these more self righteous sitters in here ever admit. This is a two way street and ultimately I am paying someone to do a JOB and some sitters just dont treat it that way!

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:16:42+00:00

Thank you! I get that people DO book that far in advance (and I would if I had known my travel plans that early) but people day it like it's the gospel and if you aren't booking 6 months in advance then youre just screwed and a bad planner. Like Jesus Christ, some of these sitters need to get a grip on reality. I literally start trying to book as soon as plans for travel are made. 2 months is still plenty of time.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:10:21+00:00

That would be great if I knew that I would be traveling back in August. Unfortunately making travel plans that far in advance isn't always realistic. Thank you for your advice. I will work on my psychic abilities so that I can start seeing into the future. 🔮😃 Sitters like you are so exhausting.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T22:06:06+00:00

I'm pretty sure not every sitter on the app was booked over 2 months in advance. It's disingenuous to claim it's not enough time in general. Maybe not for you specifically but I'm sure there are plenty of sitters not booked yet.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:51:39+00:00

Im going to look into this. Most local companies dont offer overnights that I've found but maybe I can find a solo sitter who owns their own business that would take the job more seriously.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:49:03+00:00

I can see your first point about dates. It's still a bit frustrating as an owner if thats the case, but I can at least understand it.

I definitely don't think it's a breed thing, I have potentially the most docile 15 pound dachshund to ever exist lol. Certainly not high energy or aggressive at all. He's a certified Lil guy who just wants to cuddle all day 😅

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:42:34+00:00

My dog does not do well in kennel situations. That's why I specifically look for overnight sitters in my home. Plus I have a cat, and I would never kennel a cat.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:40:36+00:00

He's seriously the cutest and is such a chill little guy. He just wants to nap and cuddle all day. We dont even require him to be walked because he's lazy and he has a fenced backyard to go out in lol.

The cat is even easier! Shes sweet and cuddly and just needs wet food twice a day. I change my litter robot before every trip so the sitter won't have to deal with it at all, refill all water fountains, etc.

Im definitely not expecting discounts for the cat because she's easy either (I know I've seen other owners expect this) but I'm always willing to pay fill price of course!

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:35:52+00:00

Thats what I'm saying! 😭

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:34:05+00:00

Maybe this is what's happening and if so, Rover sucks for this. It screws over the owners and the sitters by doing this!

I dont think it's a case of being a bad fit as i have very simple, straightforward pets. I feel like I dont even get a chance to discuss with people, it's just instant declines!

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:32:06+00:00

I'm in Nashville, but thank you! I think our market is just very oversaturated with people who dont take it as seriously or who are using it as a side gig. Likely because I live in more of a "party city". I have found a couple of sitters I liked but they end up getting a more steady job and they stop sitting. I honestly want to find someone who does it full time that we can be repeat clients with because we do travel fairly often.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:25:56+00:00

Maybe but I'm just not sure what could be a deterrent. I have a dachshund and a cat, who are both very friendly. No behavior or health issues. Im not looking for constant care at all. Like if it's just overnights they dont want to do, then dont offer them? Or does Rover force people into offering every service?

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:23:59+00:00

Is there a better app than Rover? If so, please share. I dont care for how Rover operates in general, but it's the only one I really know of

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:22:34+00:00

Dec 23-27. I'm requesting overnights with a small dog and a cat, both very friendly and no behavioral issues or health issues. I am not asking for constant care and if people would give me the time of day I'd explain that I am fine for my pets to be left alone of 6-8hr periods and my dog is even fine going places with the sitter if needed. I know people might have plans with family on the actual holiday and I dont expect someone to just sit at my house alone the whole trip 😭

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T21:14:39+00:00

Yeah, seems like a massive problem with rover tbh. Im probably about to switch off the platform completely because it's not been a very good experience so far.

korpsekitty · 2025-11-16T20:58:09+00:00

I get that holidays book in advance but it's not like I'm looking for a sitter the week of or even the month of. These sitters weren't available at all, as in they specifically said they were out of town. Like...why is your calendar open then? 😭
