| commented answer | Should I turn down a request to take dogs to the groomer? I should have clarified that in this case, the grooming is non-essential. No special needs. It's good to know that the pups are covered in the car. Thanks for the insight! |
| asked a question | Should I turn down a request to take dogs to the groomer? A new client has asked me to take her dogs to the groomer while they are staying with me. I happily take dogs in my care on adventures, on walks, and to dog-friendly human hangouts, but these activities are a part of my lifestyle--hence why dog boarding generally works for me! However, making special trips for non-essential care seems like going way above and beyond. How do you handle requests like this? Do you charge extra? Do you politely decline? Or do you consider this sort of thing "part of the gig"? |
