Advice please - struggling with a long sit
ETA - it’s not just the spiders!! It’s everything, it’s the huge house when I’m on my own, it’s how dark it is at night, it’s the length of it, my current mental state etc
So I’m currently 4 days in to a 20 day house/pet sit and I’m just having an absolute mental breakdown. I’ve never been this bad before and I really wish I hadn’t agreed to it. The dog is absolutely lovely, no problems with the dog at all.
Obviously people are going to say I shouldn’t have done this and I know that but I can’t go back and change it now! I booked this in 6 months ago and I was in a much better frame of mind back then and was determined not to let them down.
It’s just that the house is huge and I’m here alone, it’s an old house with quite a few cobwebs and it’s currently house spider season so I’m constantly on edge and I struggle even more at night when it starts to get dark. I’m just sat here in tears at the moment wondering how I’m supposed to do another 16 nights here.
I *could* if the owners allow have the dog at my place instead for the remainder but I don’t know how they’d take that. They are lovely but obviously I don’t know them that well and I just don’t know what the best thing to do is?
I feel like I’m down to 3 options and just want opinions on the best thing to do?
1 - ask to have the dog at my place until the owners are back
2 - see if they would be happy for me to find a replacement sitter
3 - ask if my partner can stay with me for the remaining nights
Please be kind
