What would you do?
Hi. I have a client that wants someone with her dogs pretty much 24/7. I did my first overnight a couple of weeks ago. She has me coming back again for two overnights.
Here is my issue. I don't mind at all doing this and even though I'm being paid as housesitting, I do leave a couple of times a day for a bit, which she is aware of. My delimma is she typically gets home well after midnight. She offers me to stay the night over, but I don't want to stay up until 3am (her dogs should be fine for 3 hours and I don't want to stay over with her coming in.
I am new to this and don't want to lose her as a client, but I also don't want to be over until 2-3am or staying over while she is there. I don't know how to word it by politely saying my ending time is 10/11 PM. Also, my time typically starts anywhere from 7am-9am .
Side note....the dogs are not being watched all day during normal days/hours outside of my booking times.
