Does anyone get requests then almost immediately have the client say the regular sitter came through?
This has happened to me about three times. I'm not sure if it is regular or not. I just got a request for a drop in for 10/29 which is unusually ahead of time. Then when I say I'm available, and what time were they interested in having me visit, they reply: "Hi Barbara, let me see if my regular drop in person is available first and then I'll let you know. But glad to connect and have you available as a future dogwalker /sitter. Nina"
Another one said: "My regular walker just answered me. Nevermind"
I find this very odd.
