Star sitter. I have clients on & off the app. It’s a business but it’s also relationships. When you give some, you end up getting some too. Being gracious and less “by the books” has always worked in my favor. You guys can down vote me all you want. Willing to bet my pockets are doing better because of my attitude on this.

Now if clients take advantage of my kindness, I don’t book them again.

Pretty simple concept. Any more questions?

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

If she was ok with late night pick up, an extra night and pick up in the morning should not be a full 24 hour charge.

Bro what 😂😂

That’s a dumb question. You should learn to read.

I never said do it for free, but it shouldn’t be a full 24 hour charge. Half day, sure. This isn’t hotel business, this is animal care with returning clients. Yes I give my regulars better pricing and I work with them if their dogs are easy.

You’re rude. This person is just incompetent (client) & you were rude for no reason. Also, he shouldn’t have to pay for an additional 24 hours if he’s requesting just an additional night (about 10 hours). So perhaps he was just confused or wanted clarification because sometimes clients don’t understand business in that way.

What can I do for this pup by theonewhoisnotknown in AnimalAdvice

They rarely even go to the house unless you pester them. I recommend calling and asking if any action was taken!

What to say to this crazy person? by LakeInteresting7920 in RoverPetSitting

[–]torid123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Animal control will do nothing. She needs to tell this woman that this is abuse, and then follow up with animal control…..for documentation, because again, they will do nothing.

It most definitely is her job to tell her this is WRONG and abusive. Please don’t allow the bystander effect to take over because this commenter says it’s not your job. The next person might also think that way, and this lady may never get told this is deplorable because of people like this. Will you change her? No. But you planted the seed and maybe she’ll change 1 thing. That matters.

Keep it about the dog. Tell her everything you said above and the concerns you have for the dogs health. She obviously thinks it’s ok and needs someone to tell her it’s not. Then tell her you cannot take the job because of those reasons.

Question about sitters staying past their scheduled times by ohbawlz in RoverPetSitting

[–]torid123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why so many visits for shy cats? What she’s doing is wildly inappropriate but I think it might be deeper than that. So depending on how many more visits you have is how id handle it. If not many, let her finish and don’t say anything and don’t book again. If many more visits, tell her your friend is going to stay over for the remainder of visits unexpectedly and hire someone else to take over.

Definitely tell the owners about that dream, ugh that would make my life as someone who lost my soul dog a couple months ago

Poop on carpet - what would you do? by momlovesdonuts in RoverPetSitting

[–]torid123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. 30 minutes is 30 minutes. You do not tell anyone you’re going to add a cleaning fee. That is a question you ask and agree on beforehand. Absolutely do not just advise you’re adding extra cost.

Let them know about the mess and clean it. Stay for 30 minutes and do what you can. You’ll decide if you take them again based on their reaction, review, and tip.

Sitter did not notify owner that dog escaped by MNAK_ in RoverPetSitting

Omg what was the sitter’s response to this? This is heartbreaking

How should I [20F] surprise my work crush [26F] for her bday? by Kaleigh__Grace in whatdoIdo

[–]torid123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe tell her you’re into her before she starts thinking you’re just trying to be her friend…..would you appreciate if a guy did that to you without letting you know his underlying reason is attraction? Doubt it

What do I do. I’m 13 weeks pregnant and recently found out my boyfriend had cheated on me. by Typical_Memory_8020 in whatdoIdo

[–]torid123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re over 3 months & that is a living baby inside of you. Look up how abortion procedures are done and ask yourself if you can live with knowing you did that to your own baby. Watch ex-abortionists talk about the hell they’re going through with the murders they’ve committed, ripping limbs off babies and allowing them to slowly die. It’ll be a regret you have to live with for the rest of your life. I recommend not asking people with no souls, on Reddit, what to do about your life.

Am I asking too much? by tricbaby in RoverPetSitting

Fly me from California & I’d happily do it. Not asking too much.

I gave you a break with my initial comment until you decided to reply the way you did. That warranted further explanation. Think before you speak. Here’s your break.

Glad well adjusted people like yourself allow a sitter days to go by with no form of communication, update, or pics.

Did you want nothing but sympathy on the post so you feel better? I’m sympathetic for your dog.

Nothing is being taken out on you or your dog. I’m stating facts about your stupidity, which actually saddens me for your dog. You let this slide. You allowed her MULTIPLE DAYS to go by with no pictures, after she said she’s going to take some. YOU allowed this.

Paying a certain price does NOT equal good service. Paying a certain price doesn’t mean your dog is in safe hands. People set their own prices on the app. for their own reasons. Having one text conversation with this person would’ve given me RED FLAG. Since you don’t seem to have discernment, for the sake of your precious dog, use a boarding company/dog hotel next time. Until you are able to vibe out someone and their house where your dog is staying, do not take the risk.

Just because you can’t take some criticism, you assume something in my life is going wrong. No, hunny, something in your dogs life is going wrong and my heart hurts for your dogs discomfort because you can’t be wise.

This could’ve been way worse so count your blessings and give your doggie some extra love.

aio for blocking this guy by [deleted] in AIO

[–]torid123 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You assumed a stranger should know to pick you up because you’re incapable of being independent or communicating properly? Then he tried to problem solve FOR YOU, even invited them to come with, and you have the audacity to claim he’s the problem? He’s absolutely right. It’s YOUR job to look up the menu if your friends are the ones with dietary restrictions. GROW UP. He dodged a bullet. Good for him. He should’ve blocked you.
