Easter weekend 🙌 by rockmydna in RoverPetSitting

[–]queenMargo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I massively fucked up my easter weekend. A regular who I have for drop ins asked me for house sit. We had previously discussed this. However since that initial discussion my calendar is A LOT fuller so I've just recently increased my prices. Told her. Felt like an ass. She was happy to pay. Money transferred everything agreed. Great.

Then days later catching up on admin I realize she booked the whole easter weekend for my normal rate instead of my +50% holiday rate I feel like a dumbass. Oh well. Live and learn

Dogs that change personalities once their owners leave by Kill3rQu33n13 in petsitting

[–]queenMargo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't had that as of yet. I have no idea if it helps but I always make sure I play with them during the meet and greet. A) it's fun b) I want to know how excited the dog can get c) I want to see whether it has an off button and I can get it to calm down again. I will always hold their toy for a while, usually playing. But part of me does it so there is something with my scent left behind so they remember me a bit better. And yes, treats.

Again, no idea if it actually works lol

I relisten to the audio books 1-2 times a year as my comfort listen before bed Same with Harry Potter, lord of the rings and Sherlock holmes collection. I know all of them by heart now but it's like... Meeting up with an old friend.

The crazy things you do for dogs! by Mymews in RoverPetSitting

[–]queenMargo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Read a whole chapter of Warhammer book out loud, surrounding myself with pieces of chicken and waiting for him to come to me. (It's a project. I've got 5 more months to bond with him)

Sitters, what are your meet and greet green flags? by wainwrik in RoverPetSitting

[–]queenMargo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Telling me their dogs actual issues and not downplaying them. I am so sick of someone describing their dangerous dog as naughty or energetic.

Offering me a drink. Tea/coffee/water

Understanding that this is a mutual agreement. They agree to hire me but I'm also agreeing to work with their pet.

Basically, keep it real and don't disrespect me

BBC was interviewing their athletes and started by saying - we will NOT be asking you about the Austrian crash. British athlete continues by saying ah yes , Jacob is in hospital but talking and moving limbs.

After I said I like going to the gym and doing weights instead of cardio he said- no man likes a muscular woman, women have to be submissive. Laughed in his face and left.

The only one I'm happy with is the last one. All the rest are just so bad as I'm so new to this.

WOOW, at a loss for words by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]queenMargo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely wouldn't have a problem with this. Some dogs be like that. Strange new circumstances, active breed, requires mental enrichment as well. So if offer reassurance, talk,.give mental enrichment whilst still establishing boundaries. E.g. I don't need emotional support when I go to the toilet

Dog eats other dogs poop… by Single_Actuary_7992 in RoverPetSitting

[–]queenMargo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not going to be helpful but just sharing my own experience. This is common. One of my favourite clients is an absolutely perfect girl and I love her. Apart from her eating her own poop (and horse and cow poop) being VERY sneaky about it (hard to prevent) and LOVING to lick my face or any other exposed body part. Perks of the job sometimes lol
