Can the services provided with housesitting be more clearly explained?
We have a 75 lb dog and an indoor cat in a downtown Portland apartment. The dog is incredibly sweet but very anxious around other dogs, so boarding is out unless he stays in a home with no other dogs. I was looking for someone to stay over night. When would that person arrive/depart? Does that include a morning and evening walk (brief)? Do I need to add another option for mid-day walk for the dog? The cat is very low maintenance. Feed x2/day. Make sure he has water. Clean litter box after 5 days. Looking for approximately a week of pet care. I need someone to explain the options so I make appropriate decisions.
Thank you, Karen
I agree. I wish each sitter would be more specific
I think the app could be more intuitive. My rates to “stay overnight” or “per night” does not include “per day” Night is night and day is day. Each is no more than a 12 hour period and a “sitter” is not necessarily there for the entire 12 hours. Owners do not always understand what “sitting” mean
Again, a check the boxes for owners Water plants 1 time Fees dog (free feed, 1 meal, 2 meals Etc) Bathroom breaks (2 times, 3 times, etc) Play times per day (1,2,3) hours per can be left securely at home at one time (1-2/3/4/5/etc hrs 1/2/3/4 times per day/night
Additional fees should be Per day Per night Per visit One time And if per day VE automatically added X the total number of days booked (instead of 1 time as it is now) If additional $5/visit for 5 days it would be $25
