commented answer Bandanas from the store?

I keep looking for them too. I've seen them available as part of the rover starter packs.... I just want the Bandanas also.

answered a question Has anyone itemized expenses for taxes here?

Another thing you can keep track of are home repair expenses. If you have a yard that the dogs will be using and you make any upgrades or maintenance expenses; ie: fences, gates, play pools, artificial turf, flea spray, puppy cams, wet weather rugs -- just to name a few things.

answered a question Does anybody know what the "off peak" seasons are?

To be honest, I was fully booked for 2015 and have booking well in to 2016 already. I wasn't excepting to have so many back to back stays. It was a good thing. I just hope I'm just as busy this year too

answered a question Paypal says I have no tax documents for 2015. Does this mean I do not owe taxes on rover?

They have till Feb 1st to send out any tax documents

answered a question Fellow sitters, how do you like the updated calendar?

I wish the calendar listed the bookings on the dates so i dont have to keep bouncing from the calendar page to the "upcoming page" to see who's coming/going/needs walked/ect

answered a question After Stay: Thank you/goodie bags?

I do a little baggy too! I like to burn a CD with all the extra photos/videos I didn't send them via rover. For stays over 3 days I love to make clay foot prints (if the dog lets me touch it's toes). long stays give the prints time to dry. I also include treat samples for our local dog bakery (Jackboy's dog Bakery) and a sample of Honest Kitchen dog food. And if the dog keeps going to one toy from the toy pile over and over again... I like to let them take it home with them.

The owners get the biggest kick out of it and they all tend to book again soon!

answered a question What dog breed is the best off leash?

To be honest, if the dog isn't your own dog never walk with it off leash. Even if the owner allows it -- if some thing where to happen that dog might not respond to you like it would the owner. And any dog off leash becomes a liability to you and any one around you.

commented answer What dog breed is the best off leash?

You are correct about sight hounds. I have two greyhounds and they never go off leash. As soon as a sight hound see some thing move off in the distance they are gone.
