Ever Had a Bad Feeling?
Hi,
I have just started sitting full time sitting and walking for Rover. I have successfully completed my first booking and everything went great. I can truly say I feel fulfilled in terms of a career working with dogs <3
However, I was wondering if anyone was ever preparing for a meet and greet and got a really bad feeling about it and how they handled it.
I currently have a request from a future client to watch his two dogs, a 70lb American Bulldog and a 40lb American Bully.
First off, the man did not have pictures of his dog and had joined the site the same day he requested me. I asked him if his dogs got along with other dogs since I have a Shepherd of my own and since I walk on the side if they are ok to be crated and if so when we could do a meet an greet. He didn't answer my questions but went straight to scheduling a meet and greet.
He has rescheduled the meet and greet twice already.... he also refers to me (I'm listed as a 27 year old female) as "bro" and when I said it's ok to reschedule but I insist on having the dogs meet, he stated that he understands that and will make it happen but it's a "tough time" for him as he is currently living out of his car and leaves them locked in there while he goes to work as he is currently looking for a place to rent.
Right off the bat, I was unsure of this guy and the more I engage with him the more unsure I become. Am I wrong to think something is "off" with this situation"? Do any seniors have any advice or have dealt with a similar situation or am I overreacting?
Really appreciate you looking this post over and helping a fellow sitter!
