Cracked a marbled looking egg directly into the frying pan. I know, the ultimate sin.
Is it too odd to eat?
In all my documenting I forgot to salt and also the told did crack. It looks fairly normal cooked, no smells. Thoughts?
I was poking around the app checking the age of today’s daycare and I landed on the owners page. Guys, there is sitter feedback.
I’m in the UK so I don’t know if this is everywhere but they’re definitely working on it if it hasn’t launched where you are.
How will visibility affect your feedback moving forward? I suspect we won’t always get the most forthcoming feedback.
Omg, if you’ve had a bad owner in the past and can see sitter feedback, I would love to see if there’s any feedback that wasn’t visible before but would’ve been helpful at the time of booking. If that makes sense.
Client I usually do daycare enquired about boarding 6 days over next weekend. I replied but they didn’t follow up.
Then a past client asked if I was available for housesitting, less days slightly higher rate. I reached out to my original board request to let them know I had a conflicting request so would like to confirm. They asked how much, I said I wasn’t sure the exact cost but more or less estimated with my base rate of £45 /nightly and 15% rover fees.
They asked to confirm 5 nights. I let my housesit client know I had confirmed the original board request. After that I looked at the booking and realised the dates are over the holiday period, meaning holiday rates I hadn’t quoted to my board. They want to know whether I’d prefer on/off R***r which I’m not sure. But now idk what to do about the rate.
This is lowkey why I hate doing things off- because things like holiday rates slip. Should I let them request and see the rate themselves. Or do the math and text letting them know it was a miscalculation- I did I say I wasn’t sure the exact rate. Or should I just do no holiday rates.
I still live at home for a multitude of reasons. I went to uni in London so I didn’t stay in halls and I’ve just lived at home since. I’m currently navigating the job market and my mental health. I obviously know people who don’t live at home but the circumstances vary wildly. My sister moved out after having a baby, I know a girl who I believe lives alone after her mum moved to live on a boat, of course many move out for uni and don’t move back or do.
I’m just familiar with a lot of people who live independently in London but it’s not really a matter of choice because they’re not from here.
If you’re from London, what are the circumstances that led you and allowed you to move out of your family home.
Recurring bookings. Everyone always says just don’t fill out the Rover card. Fill out the Rover card to be paid. Even the app says it.
Except I didn’t fill out the Rover card and it’s still processing payment because I didn’t remove this weeks job from the calendar.
Maybe my attitude towards Rover needs work because I think everyone is taking the insights too seriously.
There’s just been a lot of posts panicking over acceptance rates and response times. Like being annoyed at customers because you misunderstood response times. Or panicking because you didn’t see a text in your sleep, being scared to decline because of acceptance rates or concerned over cancelling when facing illness because you may never get star sitter. I’m not saying it’s not important, it’s money in a bad economy but like, you can’t make people book you, even when they do send the request. I think take it with a pinch of salt and stop trying to beat the algorithm.
Someone mentioned taking a booking because they didn’t want to mess up their acceptance rate.
Good sitters do not have perfect acceptance rates. They don’t take every client. Will Rover reward you for booking every client. Maybe, but you’ll be rewarding Rover and punishing yourself when the dog craps in your house and steals food out your mouth. The app will reward you because its numbers, they don’t actually have to watch the dog.
Please continue to do your due diligence, meet clients, ask questions, decline archive cancel when necessary. Don’t book clients you hate for metrics.
Ok rant over. Good Luck out there.
I know the theme of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood are similar, both centred on family and parents however I feel like the characters are so similar. Has anyone seen Lauren Graham in anything where she didn’t basically play Lorelai. The way she plays her role in Parenthood along with the story line in so similar.
