answered a question Paypal. Business or Personal?

I have a Paypal business account. The financial reports are a wonderful thing to have at the end of year!

answered a question Clients asking for reduced price?

I politely and professionally say to them: "My rates are based on the average for your area, for the services you need, and the cost of being in business." Then I outline what they get for the cost. I think many of us have at one time or another lowered our rates, and regretted it later. Just don't do it.

answered a question How can I manage a dog that hates her crate?

How old is the puppy? What breed? If she has outgrown her crate, it's time to train her to be out of it. Often times owners get too comfortable using the crate and the dog eventually starts to react. Sounds like it's time to let her be a dog. :)

answered a question What do you use in place of free grocery plastic bags to pick up dog poo?

I purchase biodegradable bags and keep a supply, then charge them off as a business expense. Most often the clients provide them - which they should have available for you.

commented question Why does my dog limp?

Unless you are a licensed Veterinarian, you have no business diagnosing. Shame on you. Please do not be a pet sitter.

commented answer Customer support number?

Calling the phone number just rings forever then finally automatically disconnects you. This is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I had to create this account because I cannot reset my password and get into my well-established sitter account. Is this business still in operation?
