answered a question Has anyone sent Christmas cards thanking clients for their business?

Yes. I sent Happy Holidays cards to all of my clients this year. Several of them took the time to thank me. I think it is a nice gesture and let's them know you really appreciate their business.

asked a question Do other sitters have Holiday rates for Dog Walking?

I see that Rover only has the option of adding holiday rates for Drop in Visits and Boarding. Why not Dog Walking, too?

asked a question Do you give discount for client who needs multiple drop-in visits per day for a week or more of vacation?

If you give a discount, how much?

answered a question can you just walk dog and do drop in's?

YES!! See the link on the comment above. There a folks out there that just want folks to stop by and walk or check in on their dogs if they will be gone for an extended period of time during the day. Clients are very appreciative when having someone to check in on their pets. You need to be clear when sharing your profile via, Facebook, Next Door,Craigslist, etc that you are not able to provide Dog Sitting, Boarding or Day Care.

answered a question How can I keep belly bands on the dog?

I have a 17 year old dachshund who is incontinent sometimes but especially at night. i found a product online called Happy Jack Dog Diapers. It wraps around the belly with velcro closure but it also has a strap that snaps around the dog's neck. It is kind of like a harness. The band is made out of felt and is washable. It works great! My dog is not able to wiggle out of the wrap! It stays in place perfectly even all thru the night! She makes them in various sizes. I use male incontinence pads with adhesive and it all works great!! http://www.bestdogdiapers.com or Google Happy Jack Dog Diapers.
