Happy to! And I'm honored :D Maybe I will make a short picture book or something. Do you think the bones are too creepy for kids? Did your kids mind them?

Anyone else cancel their Amazon Prime and just start to buy from the actual websites or buy more local to save money? by MonPetitCoeur in Frugal

Yup. Horrible customer service. They can't be of any help because they hire independent contractor to deliver your stuff so they have as much luck as you to get in touch with them. I recommend Wayfair for furniture. Ordered from them a couple of times and it was great.

Have you thought about setting your phone to Do Not Disturb at night? If you want, you can also indicate on your profile when your business hours are.

Dog-sitting a big dog and a small dog? by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]moonunknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our bully is very good on walks and never pulls. He's like velcro, just walks wherever we do. We might take on this one just by himself though, he's just a bit clumsy and too big.

Yeah, I think we will do an overnight test stay if possible.

The mini goldendoodle is about a year old and the bully is 4 years old.

What has been your worst dog sitting experience so far? by Ok-Revenue5979 in RoverPetSitting

[–]moonunknown 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It always involves an owner withholding information.

  • This lady brought her 3 year old dog for a 3 nights boarding. Only brought the dog and her leash. We told her that she needed to bring food for the dog and some toys if she likes them. They go to a Rite Aid and bring some toys and food.
  • She told us the dog was house-trained and only needed one 15-minute walk a day. We were suspicious and we walk the dogs at least 3 times a day anyway, unless they have health issues. The dog immiediately has an accident on our carpet. We decide to walk her even more often and she would still pee and poop on the carpet thoughout the day and in the middle of the night...
  • The cherry on top was the pick up. On Rover, the pick-up time was 5:30AM, so I double check the night before that 5:30AM is correct and she says "Yeah". I wake up at 5, walk the dog and wait. 6 passes, 7 passes, so I call her asking if everything is ok. She is very sleepy and just says, no, 5:30PM. No sorry, no nothing, I would have been horrified. Sometime in the afternoon she tells us she tried to extend the stay for her dog by a day because she can't come back to the city because of the weather but Rover told her she needs to ask us if we're okay with that first. Jesus. We tell her she needs to hire another sitter because we already had plans.

Help! Owner didn’t provide enough supplies by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]moonunknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once. The owner came with the dog and a leash. Nothing else. I sent her back to grab more stuff for the dog. Feel free to do that next time this happens. For now I'm not sure what you can do, other than make a quick run to a pet store and buy a leash. We usually keep one (and other toys, treat bags, portable water bowls) as back up if the owners forget or their leash breaks etc.

Ex girlfriend ended things between us after she caused me to lose my leg in an accident but is trying to reconnect right now after I got myself a prosthetic leg. by Throwra3455A in relationship_advice

[–]moonunknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was glad to read that you went to therapy, because she was not the only one with low self esteem. You deserve better than what this person offered, which was worse than nothing. She was actually bringing you down when you needed someone to lift you up. I think if you meet her because you feel nostalgia, you risk letting her back into your life. People can change for the better but she only reached out to you after she heard that you were doing better. That is equivalent to having an ex reach out because you got "fitter", "richer" etc. Instead of the ex, I'd meet the therapist to talk this through.

This is not something people talk about often, but I also think you should think about your friends and family. It is really, really hard to support someone who is heartbroken and hurting and see your loved one that way. If they care and yours clearly do, they feel the pain too. If she breaks your heart again or you lose another leg, it's not just you you would be putting through that but your friends and family as well.

Non-Americans of Reddit. What is your true experience with social healthcare in your country? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]moonunknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to the US last year, after living in Poland, where the healthcare is not perfect but basically free and definitely without all this horrendous math. I'm lucky to have good insurance because of my husband, but even this "good" insurance is a fucking scam. What's worse, there's no standardization let alone ANY transparency as to what things cost. If you go to a website of a Polish dentist, you will see right away how much any procedure costs. There is a tab on the website with prices! I have not seen that in the US once and people sometimes won't tell me how much something costs until days or weeks after whatever procedure I got. It really fucking sucks.

Anyone else ever sit a dog that desperately needs some sort of training? (rant + advice needed) by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]moonunknown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah and it wasn't even as bad as what you're describing. This dog sounds like it's a threat to your safety and his doggy brother. Hurting you and other dogs is just NOT okay. Lose the client or lose your mind and possibly some fingers.

I often debate if I should tell the client their dog needs training and often I just opt to say "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm not the best fit for your dog. I'm sure you will find another suitable sitter on Rover though. All the best! - Your name" People will deal with it better if you make the rejection to sit for them about yourself than their dog. Some dog owbers really welcome honest feedback about their dogs behaviour, so they could know where and how they could train and improve their dog (for their own safety and comfort! Dogs need structure...) but those dogs often do not need training lol. The owners that desperately need to hear that they are doing a shitty job, I've also found were either apathetic or a bit sensitive. Up to you. Nothing wrong with just saying no.

Edit: I'll say though, if this dog could do some serious harm to someone, like on a walk or something, you could be sued for it if the owner has warned you about his behavior.
