answered a question Do you agree with Rover Cards?

I wish they weren't mandatory. I sit/drop in mostly out in more rural areas and rarely have service. If I don't have service, the app doesn't load and I can't start the timer, fill it out, or send it until I get to an area with service or accessible wifi . Owners don't always understand Rover cards so when I explain the situation they think that I'm doing something wrong or trying to be sneaky. I've had one client who got very annoyed by them. I think it's great to let the owner know about their pets but the Rover cards make it difficult. It'd be easier to discuss with the owner how often they would like to be updated and what kind of updates they want.

asked a question this house is making me feel ill?

I've been watching a young English bulldog for a few days now and still have another week to go.

The house I am in is making me sick - they smoke/vape inside which makes the air thick and I get nauseated and develop really bad head aches. I almost threw up the first morning. The windows and walls have a weird sticky substance collected on them (you can barely see through the windows) and it just seems like they haven't cleaned in years.

This dog is also not super well behaved and has no training and is very overweight. It makes me sad to see him in these living conditions. I've been trying to walk him but he can't go for very long and can't be in the sun much either. He bites often and also eats/chews random things but there's no way to clean up because this house has huge piles of stuff laying around all over the counters and floors.

Plus, I work online and the internet is so bad that it's preventing me from doing my job.

I just feel so sad, gross, and sick here and it's upsetting. I am counting down the minutes for this sit to be over.

They also have cats that they didn't mention until I got here and aren't paying the extra fee.

Ideally, I would love to go back to my home over night and come back in the morning because I think being here is making me ill. I don't know if I should let the owner know - I don't want to worry them while they're on vacation or upset them and start an unnecessary feud.

Any suggestions or similar experiences? I guess I am in need of some encouragement.
