asked a question Can an owner edit a review?

I have a client that entered a review however it is incomplete. Does anyone know if this can be edited on her end?You can see where she started to write something but the sentence is incomplete.

commented answer Is it acceptable to ask a client to cover cleaning costs?

Ok, Thank you. Yes I suppose I have to chalk this up to a lesson learned. :-)

asked a question How do I edit the section "What <sitter's name> would like to know about your dog"?

I am able to edit every other section, but am having difficulty finding where to edit this specific one. Thank you

asked a question Is it acceptable to ask a client to cover cleaning costs?

I have a situation where I understood the 2 dogs I would be sitting for in my home are potty trained. I have them for 7 nights. One is very old and completely incontinent. I was told he required going out every 2 hours. I've tried taking him out every 30 mins, but this is not working. Neither dog is neutered. Both have urinated and pooped in several areas. The younger one has also marked several areas, most notably my entire carpeted stairway. I have since restricted access to all rooms but a very large carpeted den area where I spend most of my time. Also the kitchen is open, so they can roam in there, the floors are hardwood. I have removed all furniture and items that are prime time hiking objects. I tried using diapers for the older one, however he takes them off immediately. If I see the younger one sniffing around, I immediately take him out, however he urinates when he comes back inside. I've tried to accommodate their needs, however, accidents are still happening. I do have a fenced in yard but it has rained non-stop since they were dropped off (of course) I am home with them all day, so they go outside frequently for potty breaks, yet still urinate right when they come back inside. I would say they are not potty trained and this is more than just doggy jitters. I understand it is normal for accidents to happen within the first couple of days. Is it acceptable to ask a client to cover cleaning costs? I will have to have 2 rooms and a stairway professionally cleaned. Thank you

I have a situation where I was told the dogs I would be sitting for are potty trained. I have them for 7 nights in my home. One is 16 years old and one is 4 years old, both are not neutered. The old one is completely incontinent and the other one does not appear to potty trained. Both have urinated and pooped all over my home. The younger one has marked several areas. I have removed all furniture and items that he can hike on. If I see him sniffing around, I immediately take him out, however he urinates when he comes back inside. I have had them for 4 days.
