commented answer how to avoid cancellations?

unfortunately i dont have a house that i could have any unfriendly dog/s quarantined. I'm in S. Philadelphia in a typical apartment. Rover pretty much told me "oh.....thats too bad" i'm going to be much more clear with future clients and long stays such as this. definitely want to avoid this again

asked a question how to avoid cancellations?

I was to have a month long stay (i'm a sitter) of a dog that I had a meet and greet with several weeks ago even. The owner and I met, and the dog seemed a lot of work BUT we both agreed that for the month and 1/2 she was with me, that I wouldn't take on any other dogs, as she isnt the friendliest around other dogs. I have been VERY busy lately (I live in S. Philadelphia) and I have been turning down requests left and right for the dates this dog was to come to me. (stay was to start in mid June) She requested her dog be the only one I sat. I did agree, and everything was on track UNTIL the client called to tell me she needed to cancel. This was a $700.00 + job that I booked and slated myself as "unavailable" for that time period. I now am showing myself as available. But my point is that just in the past 3-4 days alone I turned away at least 6 potential bookings. In the future, can anyone suggest to me how I can avoid something like this happening again? Should I never take any dogs that arent OK with other pooches? I do have my cancellation policy set at strict, but as I mentioned, the lady's trip was to be June 14 until July 11! (Not a short stay........) I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
