| answered a question | we need a housesitter but we have 2 cats and 2 rabbits and no dogs will your sitters sit for us? There's an option when listing the breed that's "cat" and another one that's "other pet". I would use those to list each of your animals so potential sitters have an idea of what's needed |
| answered a question | Do you have sitters that will do drop in visits for cats? Hi Diane, what area are you in? I ask because on the off chance we live near each other I do cat drop ins. It's a single button the sitter has to hit on their profile to indicate they accept cats. Could be there are sitters in your area who would be happy to sit cats, but they missed clicking that button. if you see a sitter that peaks your interest in your area, maybe send them a message and see if they'd be interested in dropping in for you. Most sitters I've interacted with are more than just dog people, they're animal lovers in general. I'm certain someone in your area would love to help you use those credits! Hope that helps! |

| asked a question | Multiple visits requested in the same day. Should I recommend a house sitter instead? Hello! I have a new client that travels frequently for work. She has me booked for three visits a day, throughout the day, for four days. If I'm correct about her travel schedule, she's likely looking for someone who will be able to work this schedule on an ongoing manner. My concern is I have a full time job as well as Rover. 3 visits a day is more than I can comfortably handle long term. She's a really cool lady and her dog, while a sweet girl, is a recent rescue and could use more socialization than I can provide her in 30 minute visits. There are also three cats in the house, although the only thing required of me is to ensure their water bowls are full and occasionally scoop the litter. I'm wondering, with the time requirements and the pup's real need to be socialized, if having someone house sit during the day might be a better fit for their needs. I don't believe it would have to be an overnight thing, just a doggy day care in the owner's house situation. I want to try and find a sitter/visitor for her that can provide the ongoing services I believe she needs, as cost effectively as possible. At my rates, that costs her $45/day. I'm interested in polling the community to see what you would charge for this kind of service. Any advice would be much appreciated. |
