How many visits do you require a day for extended drop-in care for dogs?
I have had a few clients book me to check-in on their dogs while they are out of town. I am wondering if you require a minimum number of visits when you are only checking in on them and not doing overnight care? Some of my clients have booked me for ONE drop-in a day for dogs while they are gone for days at a time. When this happens it never fails that the dog has accidents all over the house and seems very clingy when I am there. Am I right to change my policy and require a minimum number of visits a day for vacations longer than 48 hours if no one will be home with the dogs?
My very first client was of this nature. He works out of town every week ad has become my first (and only so far) repeat client. I changed our deal from house sitting to 2 drop ins per day, as he was one of many on Rover who do not understand how the system works. I schedule my visits roughly 12...
hours apart so that she can pee at regular intervals. I use the half hour I have there wisely, but sometimes do stay longer than needed just so she has some company. I would just discuss with the client and try to reason with them a little about the care their dog needs.
