Tips on making your safety as a priority, being assertive, and avoiding problem pet stays<\/em><\/h3>\n

As a House Sitter<\/strong>, \u201cmeet & greets\u201d are a critical part of a job and should never be skipped. It is a time to suss out the cleanliness of home, the safety of the neighbourhood, the Owners living standards, and predict whether the pet\/s will have major behavioural issues.<\/p>\n

As a Pet Sitter<\/strong> offering care from your own home, meet and greets are still a critical time to meet the owner and the pet to assess whether there are behavioural issues and whether your schedule and commitments will be compatible with the pets needs and the standard of care the owner expects.
What are some of the reasons why a sitter\u00a0might decline a pet job?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Unsafe neighbourhood:<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span>A potential client\u2019s neighbourhood may be a reason you may feel unsafe or uncomfortable to take the house-sitting assignment.\u00a0 This includes homes in neighbourhoods in crime hotspots considered unsafe, as well as clients with homes that are too secluded (isolated). Don\u2019t proceed with the job if you feel unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

2. \u201cCreepy\u201d client:<\/strong> <\/span>If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable proceeding with a pet-sitting assignment because you did not feel comfortable with the client\u2014even if you can\u2019t exactly put your finger on what made you feel so uncomfortable \u2013 this is ok. Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you get potential clients who do not make eye contact or seemed overly nervous, make flirtatious or sexual comments and seem more interested in asking detailed personal questions about you as a person instead of your pet-sitting services. Don\u2019t proceed with the job. Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Filthy home\/client is a hoarder:<\/strong> <\/span>If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable with a house-sitting assignment after seeing the client\u2019s home is filthy, or if you discover the client is a hoarder<\/a>. Don\u2019t proceed with the job. Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See news article:\u00a0Animal hoarding no laughing matter: RSPCA<\/a><\/p>\n

4: \u00a0Aggressive dogs:<\/strong> <\/span>\u00a0An aggressive dog is good reason to consider a job too unsafe.<\/p>\n

One pet sitter we researched described a situation she had encountered: \u201cWe had a client who had a dog that was very protective of their property. On a walk the dog was fine. At home, however, it was aggressive even when given treats. I was on edge the whole time I was around it. \u00a0This situation can only lead to catastrophe and possibly injury. We did not take the job and suggested she contacted a dog behaviourist.\u201d\u00a0 If you get a job like this, don\u2019t proceed with the job. Tell the client. Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Clients who don\u2019t wish to pay until the job is done<\/strong>: <\/span>you don\u2019t have to worry about this as PetCloud requires all Pet Owners do a Paypal authorisation up front before the stay. The funds are released to you 24hours after the end of the stay.<\/p>\n

6. Your day time schedule is not compatible with the pets needs<\/strong>: <\/span>\u00a0If you also have a regular full time job & feel you wont be home enough to care for a needy anxious pet who really needs socialising with similar pets and day care supervision. Decline the job. You have a duty of care<\/a> to pets in your care. It is best to decline the job. Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>. We will arrange another Sitter more compatible.<\/p>\n

\"Petbarn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Pet Owner wants you to mind a pet in a way that is cruel.<\/span> <\/strong>For example, we chatted with a House Sitter who in the past had a client who wanted them to keep a large adult puppy in a small cage all day whenever the Sitter was away from the home daily (for 8 hours daily). This meant the puppy was sitting in their faeces and the height of the cage didn\u2019t even allow them to stand. This is animal cruelty. You have a duty of care<\/a> to pets in your care. It is best to decline the job. Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>. A retiree house sitter with no competing commitments might be more suited to this situation as they will be home more.<\/p>\n

8. Pet Owner doesn\u2019t allow pets outside<\/strong><\/span> One House Sitter recalled from a past job years ago that a Pet Owner mentioned they lived in an unsafe neighbourhood and believed the pets would get stolen.\u00a0 This meant for 8 hours every day all 4 pets were toileting inside every day and the house sitter had to come home and clean a filthy mess every day. Don\u2019t get into a situation like this. It is best to decline the job. Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> Large dogs that pull very hard on a lead.<\/strong><\/span> If you are inexperienced with this, or know your own strength won\u2019t be enough – it is best to decline the job. Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10. Dogs that suffer from severe cases of anxiety and destruction.<\/strong> <\/span>It is best to decline the job and refer the Pet Owner to an animal behaviourist. Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

11. Dogs that have a history of escapism<\/strong> <\/span>(fence jumping or digging). If you are going to work at a second job while taking on a job with a pet like this (even if it\u2019s a 6ft fence), you are bound for trouble. When dogs are away from their owners and are in a new place, their anxiety levels will increase somewhat. You don’t want to come home to find the dog missing, or worse still, find out something has grave happen to the dog and you having to relay this to it’s owner while they’re on holidays.<\/p>\n

12. Very sick dogs<\/strong><\/span> \u2013 Vet Nurses may be more suited and experienced with jobs like this. If you are not medically experienced, decline the job & Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>. We may tell the Pet Owner the pet is not suited to being minded at this time.<\/p>\n

13. Not comfortable giving injections.<\/strong> <\/span>If you are not medically experienced, decline the job & Tell PetCloud Support<\/a>. We will find them a Vet Nurse who is also a Pet Sitter who has the experience.<\/p>\n

14.<\/strong> Last minute<\/strong> \/ Unfair expectations.<\/strong> <\/span>Some clients never plan ahead. They\u2019ll inquire on a Thursday evening and expect you to check on their dogs all weekend or ask if you could you check on our dogs tomorrow morning? We recommend saying no. Tell them you\u2019d be happy to help them out in the future, but you will need more notice. Even if they are going away on their honey moon and say they have no one else \u2013 they have had 3-12 months to plan for a Sitter. This is not your problem to solve if you simply can\u2019t. It\u2019s great if you can.<\/p>\n

Have you ever had to turn down a job for one of these reasons?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If so, how did you tell the pet owner you were not able to take the assignment? Are there other reasons you have turned down a potential pet-sitting assignment? Share your experiences with us.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And for those wondering…<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t by the time we\u2019ve had a Meet & Greet it too late to turn down the client?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. You are not obligated to continue with a Booking, even after a Meet and Greet.\u00a0 Just phone or email the PetCloud support team and we can cancel the booking and help the pet owner find another suitable sitter or we can cancel the job completely if we don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
