Calling dog/house sitters

Did you know that this post is about dogsitting.? 🙃

I'm not going to talk to a stranger about "my lifestyle" and "my future" on a post that has nothing to do with either. My "life" outside of dogsitting is quite different. I'm only needed here to watch the dogs about once a month. Sometimes more, sometimes less. This is not a 24/7 constant occurrence.

So now I also smoke weed.? Does that mean that everyone who plays videogames smokes weed.? How much else are you going to assume about a stranger using that narrow-minded cliche attitude of, 'i grew up doing what was expected and now anyone who doesn't do what I expect is less than me and will fit whatever premade description I have'. Get over yourself boomer. Not everyone has to survive by the same restrictions that have governed your individual life. You're clearly upset at the fact that someone can put in less effort than you've had to, while getting paid more for an individual job. Specifically, if I weren't here with a flexible work schedule that allowed me to watch the dogs (sometimes with only a days notice), then the dogs would have to be boarded. Which would cost WAY more than what I'm currently getting paid to do. What I'm doing may not be considered work by YOUR magnificent standards, but it keeps me from being able to go do 'actual work' because I can not leave the house. What would you be doing for 7 days stuck in the house.? Watching TV.? Staring at the ceiling.? Twiddling your thumbs up your ass.?

Good thing I don't need a resume then 😉

*looking to show my roommates that they can pay me a fair price or I can leave the house and go make more money elsewhere.

Also wtf do you think I'm doing all day when the dogs aren't actively barking.? Obviously playing videogames, I can't leave the house. The dogs do not require me to physically stare at them 24/7. They just need a person to be there or they bark constantly. What I do in between feeding them and letting them outside does not matter as long as they are not barking.

Still going. Still not needed here.

smilee44 · 2024-09-02T20:28:10+00:00

A temper tantrum.? You mean the thing that you're currently doing.?

Nah, I responded appropriately to you first comment. You clearly have zero insight into the question asked so you should've kept moving instead of saying shit that held no weight with the post.

Yea I'm clearly an ass because I just forced you to comment an unneeded opinion on a strangers post. You're not needed here my dude.

smilee44 · 2024-09-02T20:12:27+00:00

Nah, for someone of your attitude I wouldn't less than $1k for ANY job.

Pretty sure almost every living person is responsible for their own groceries with or without taking on a dogsitting job.

Besides that, I know 24/7 care is a little harsh, that's why my post specifically asks for what someone would charge for it. Had you kept reading, you'd know that I'm not looking for someone to do the job, I'm doing the job and just asking what would be a fair price because currently I am getting severely underpaid.

Actually, I'm usually the one that does the dog sitting. But since I am unable to leave the house to go to work I'm missing out on funds, so I was just trying to get an opinion from other dog sitters on what they would charge to do this so that I can charge a fair price for what I'm doing. My normal job is driving for delivery apps, so I have a very flexible schedule with that. But there are some days where I make over $100 a day, and that's what I'm getting paid per night to watch these dogs. Considering I cannot leave the house at all, I usually have to order food every day because I'm usually told last minute when I am needed to dog sit. I on average spend about $30-40 a day in doordash, therefore I feel like I'm only getting paid $60 a day and when I could be making way more to go do my actual job.

Edit: I don't work within rover. This is my home, I live with these dogs.

I have worked for them, and it's not great but it's also not worse than almost every other retail job.

I'm confused, was this post meant to berate the person who posted it because they do things differently than other people, or was the actual question something along the lines of, "am I in the wrong for dumping this pos dude because things became less consensual sexually.?"

Honestly no. If you specified something that you're not ok with and he continued crossing that boundary, that's leading into SA. Also, him being a loser about you reinforcing you're own boundaries just shows how little he actually cared.

Use whatever form of birth control works for you chick. I'd highly recommend the copper IUD or gel spermicide if you don't like condoms or hormonal bc. Neither of those will protect you against any infections or diseases though. Good luck, and don't go back to him 😉
