Receiving tips from clients?
Hello! I recently had a 10-day overnight stay with two dogs. Overall, it was a normal stay. They were two sporting dogs (one of which was not very trained well - she was a total spaz on walks haha - I can't even describe it), so they were very high energy and more work than my normal clients. The owner contacted me the day after my last stay and asked me if we could meet up so she could give me a tip - she was very grateful for me taking care of her pups while they were out of the country.
It is a very thoughtful gesture, and I did accidentally undercharge her by quite a bit (I give a discount for stays longer than 7 days and miscalculated the rate - totally my fault and not hers).
Should I accept the tip or would that be tacky? I'm not entirely sure how to reply and would appreciate any sitters feedback with more experience in this area. Thank you so much!
