asked a question I'm watching a dog that is acting very aggressive towards me whenever I'm in the home.

I'm watching a dog that is acting very aggressive towards me whenever I'm in the home. He hasn't bitten me or anything (yet) but he follows right up next to me and only allows me in certain rooms. So far, all I can do is come in and get his food in the kitchen, and leave again. The owner mentioned to me he was very aggressive to men, but was fine with woman, and I came over and met the dog twice with her home before we booked the stay, and he was fine and let me pet him then.. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. This dog is as big as me and I'm going into his house alone where he clearly doesn't want me. The owner will be back "during the day tomorrow". Suggestions.?

The dog is male, fixed, and 96 lbs. of mixed breed pit/mastiff/yellow lab something. About 3 years old.

answered a question Tipping your dog sitter

My experience is about the same - I've had tips up to $60 and nothing. It mostly just depends on the clients and what kind of people they are honestly. I don't go into a stay ever expecting a tip, so if I get one it's an added bonus. And I definitely make a point to do a little extra and keep a good relationship going with those who do tip.. obviously I want to keep working with them and hope they want to keep working with me! :)

asked a question Can you have two pet sits at once/pet sits that overlap?

Can I book (traveling) two pet sits for the same weekend and/or over lapping at all even by just a day? I wasn't sure how that works and haven't had it happen yet, but I'm curious.
