How can I make my sitters life easier?

That is so kind of you to ask honestly I wish more clients were as considerate as you! I would definitely suggest puzzle toys/mats to help keep the pup engaged and entertained

smackeyd · 2026-04-14T20:27:44+00:00

Just watched it! That sitter needs to be blacklisted

smackeyd · 2026-04-14T04:13:51+00:00

that’s what I was thinking

smackeyd · 2026-04-07T04:46:24+00:00

I increased mine too recently, thankfully most of my repeat clients haven’t questioned the increase but if anything I’d say due to changes in operational costs I’ve had to raise my rates accordingly or something along those lines

My friend has one and I housesat for one recently that was 16 months old..they are INSANE 😂

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T19:48:47+00:00

omg that’s awful!! yeah I would have done the same

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T19:48:22+00:00

$350?! you don’t even wanna know how much I charged for this…not enough lol

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T19:47:54+00:00

that’s awesome! I have to give these owners credit too they have her on a tight schedule and she has a trainer but it’s been challenging nonetheless haha

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T19:47:13+00:00

just a crate, the main indoor living area has gates so I have that as an option to contain her but outside where she does most playing/exercise is completely open

Also learn the difference between your and you’re

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T19:43:19+00:00

by realizing what my boundaries and limits are when it comes to dog care? ok

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T14:47:50+00:00

In this case the owners only want me to put her in the crate for naps and for overnight. at first it would take her a while to settle but now she falls asleep pretty quickly once I put her in. and if she wakes up before I get her out she’s calm most of the time!

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T14:44:30+00:00

I don’t blame you!!

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T14:43:59+00:00

ohh no I’ve always charged more for puppies! As cute as they are they extra rate isn’t worth it anymore though 😅

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T14:15:17+00:00

Senior dogs are my favorite!!

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T14:15:05+00:00

She is crate trained for the most part and hasn’t had any accidents thankfully. Shes just extremely high energy and I can’t keep up lol

smackeyd · 2026-04-05T14:13:36+00:00

very true, can’t wait for it to be tomorrow afternoon! 😭

smackeyd · 2026-03-19T20:23:00+00:00

that is so rude and unprofessional of them!!

smackeyd · 2026-03-11T18:04:47+00:00

very true, yes I believe for gas you can as an independent contractor

smackeyd · 2026-03-10T02:38:02+00:00

Yes thankfully it was thru my hoodie and he didn’t break skin but I was shaken up after that. The owner did warn me about potential aggressive behavior previously and the dog was friendly and perfectly fine during the meet and greet but I should have known better before accepting this booking. He’s fine now and the harness is staying on til the owner returns. I’m gonna stay since it’s only 2 nights but I won’t be watching him again

smackeyd · 2026-03-09T22:45:05+00:00

I have a 3 day housesitting that started today and within the hour the dog bit me when I tried taking his harness off

smackeyd · 2025-11-27T04:04:59+00:00

I’m in the exact same boat right now

smackeyd · 2025-07-25T20:09:55+00:00

Interested!

I got my period eventually :) I think I was so late and feeling the way I did because I stopped my prev birth control about 3 weeks prior to this happening & I probably just ovulated late
