| answered a question | Does each additional dog warrant extra time, or is it all done at once within the 30 minute block? I've only done check-in for three cats since signing up. There was more to it than run in, clean litter boxes and dump food. Since there needed to be specific things done for each cat as far as food went and one needed to be out of his room only when I was there, I charged a discounted fee for two of them and stayed as long as I could manage at the particular time to play with them, pet them and allow the one cat as much time as possible out of his room. It allowed me to make the shiest of the three trust me enough to come and snuggle up against my thigh on the sofa, so I don't feel it was bad practice to charge for the other two. I'll likely maintain this as my regular practice since even walking two dogs can be more complex than just walking one if they aren't at the same level of training. |
| asked a question | Heads Up For Sitters In Pt. Pleasant, NJ area? As the title says, this is more a heads-up than a question. Seems like there's an outbreak of distemper in the raccoon population around Point Pleasant Beach/Borough, NJ. Animal control has confirmed that as many as 40 raccoons have been euthanized after being identified as infected with canine distemper. Please keep your eyes open for animals behaving strangely if you are caring for animals in Point Pleasant and surrounding areas. https://patch.com/new-jersey/brick/s/gj6ta/threat-to-dogs-in-3-ocean-county-towns-epidemic-kills-animals (https://patch.com/new-jersey/brick/s/...) |
