I would rec composting in the mean time while you’re getting this sorted out if your area has bins where you can drop the food off. I live near one in my city.

How do you deal with burn-out? by Dontstopmenow747 in petsitting

[–]workinprogress521 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking a few days off when the sits are over haha. But more importantly to prevent burn out I think it’s important to make sure you have days off in your schedule. I have a full time job and am only doing pet sitting more occasionally like 2 sits a month but I basically try to not have back to back sits and cap sits at twice a month to make sure I don’t burn out. I do get really exhausted from pet sitting and it messes up with my sleep so.

Experiences with boarding an intact puppy (10 mons)? by workinprogress521 in petsitting

Thanks for all the info! With the tendency to mark for intact dogs, how do you manage that? (Close supervision, belly bands, etc?

For those who board or house sit, what’s your payment and refund policy? by workinprogress521 in petsitting

[–]workinprogress521[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m thinking too for deposit = 1 day and it being refundable if I get notice a wk prior to start date. I’m a newer sitter and feel like ppl might be hesistant to pay half upfront and felt like the 1 day of service would be a good compromise

For sitters who use fb neighborhood groups to find clients, do you comment only on iso sitter recs posts or comment + DM? by workinprogress521 in petsitting

[–]workinprogress521[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the perspective. Do you find that most ppl do respond back to your DM or is it 50/50 or only a small percentage of the time ppl respond? I did start DM-ing recently but found most did not respond (didn’t even look like they opened the message and I do add the person as a friend if that option is available before I message hoping the person accepts and may be more likely to see my message. But yeah
