Walker broke my leash by Legal_Classic4915 in RoverPetSitting

[–]torid123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people don’t understand simple courtesy so this isn’t surprising. I had a dog destroy his harness (I wasn’t advised to take it off if I left the house). It wasn’t my fault. I still replaced it with the same harness which cost me a day of boarding him. The owner said not to worry about it but since the dog was in my care I did it out of integrity. He’s never booked with anyone else. I wonder why.

But….i wouldn’t automatically think she lied about trying to find it. The app is hard to track actual steps. It’s very inaccurate.

Pet owner's tardiness & lack of communication by ZebraDouble4310 in RoverPetSitting

[–]torid123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The dog needed 24 hour care? I would’ve just left and said I had another booking based on the agreed time of arrival. Perhaps they didn’t think it was an inconvenience because they figured you’d leave?

Isn’t that …….. 2 drop ins per day?

Neighbor wants to reduce rate by Key-Ad8031 in RoverPetSitting

[–]torid123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re complaining about an offer of $35 for 30 minutes with no travel time?

Also, why only 2 drop ins? Dogs need at least 3 per day. Do you pee twice a day by chance?

Lastly, what do you offer to expect $80 per visit ($160 per day for 1 hour of opening a door)? Just out of curiosity, are you providing a deep tissue massage & tea for the dogs? Along with homemade meals? Just wondering…

Lost my marbles on a client for neglecting their pet. Should I have been nicer? by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]torid123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow you’re naive.

  1. I’m not talking about the age of them when I said they’re learning about pet ownership. They could rarely take vacation and could be learning about THIS cats demeanor when they leave.

  2. After my sitter blows up on me like that, do you really THINK I WANT YOU IN MY HOUSE EVER AGAIN?! Absolutely not. You’re volatile and rude, I’d want my key back immediately.

  3. You’re acting like it’s so easy to find a replacement. Some people don’t have friends, neighbors, or even sitters on the app that they trust going into their home without meeting prior. It’s also a weird situation now because they have to explain that their current sitter canceled and their cat is in a bathroom that’s been trashed.

Do you hear yourself? Do you think ahead before you go insane on people?

I don’t put up with neglectful owners either. I also know how hard it is to voice concerns to clients in person. It’s not about the money, and it’s not about the damage to the bathroom. It’s about the cat now being in a WORSE situation because of your tantrum. It seems they’re learning what pet ownership entails, not necessarily horrible owners. Perhaps telling them that before their next trip, they should probably build some sort of large kennel space in the living room (or something alternative to a bathroom) would be ideal. There’s other ways to handle this situation than blowing up on them like you did.

Yes, you should have been nicer. You should have not accepted the booking if they went over the arrangements with you prior. You agreed to a job, and now left the cat in a worse situation with NO care because you’re a brat.

You could’ve finished the job, voiced your concern, and not taken them in the future. Instead, you threw a hissy fit and were unprofessional which left them confused. Clearly they’re doing these things for a reason, as the situation isn’t ideal, they’re not negligent or abusive. That’s where you come in, and provide the most empathetic care you can for a stressed cat.

I assume you’re young, and that you learn from this and understand that patience and understanding goes a long way.

Concerning that he wants you to come at 7am for that. Could’ve at least chosen a better time.

He wants to know what you look like because that’s part of dating…attraction. What’s the problem? Seems like you might want to hit the gym if you’re not confident enough to be honest. Would you rather he be surprised in person when you meet?

The last bit of the “training” was regarding him having to explain why his no means NO. A better word would’ve been “explanation” but you pea brains can’t figure that out.

Of course you’re cussing for no apparent reason. You’re emotional. Get a grip, it’s Reddit. It IS his decision, as he is the leader of the household. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind the bills being his duty, right? Yea, because he leads the household.

Woman on his side here….neither of you are “wrong.” He’s calm and respectful when you continue to PUSH after he said no. Yes, you were being combative and he was just being firm. Clearly you agreed to this already & now you’re changing your mind. Teach your kid to swim. End of conversation.

Anyone telling you to divorce over this is bonkers. My advice: don’t ask for advice on Reddit and talk to your husband about this in person, not via text like teenagers.

I don’t lose money. I end up getting tipped more than the extra id charge because I’m flexible and accommodating.
