How many dogs over capacity do you go?
So my capacity is 3 dogs at a time, although, one time I allowed 4 dogs because a family that lived near by needed a sitter for a few hours while they moved (they had 2 dogs). But here is my problem right now: I have 2 stays booked for a weekend in April, one of them is only 2 nights (2 dogs from the same family) and the other is 3 nights (only one dog). But I have 2 meet and greets this week with 2 clients who need a sitter for much longer stays, that happen to coincide with that weekend. So if the meet and greets go well then I will have 5 dogs in my house for 2 nights. My husband will be home those 2 days so I will have a helping hand, but would you take the 5 dogs or would you cancel one of the meet and greets? Also it is a weekend so there will be 24/7 supervision the days that I have the 5 dogs. I might just cancel with the most recent inquiry since we haven't even scheduled the m and g yet, But I was just curious as to how many dogs above your capacity you would be willing to care for if it was just a couple of days?
I would keep at 5. I have 5 dogs and it’s not bad at all. You have a helping hand and my husband and just split it 3/2. Then the next day we switch. More is easier with me. They actually entertain each other.
