RN yeah, I for sure don't want to do anything where I leave the property with a dog. After almost losing 2 of them, I am scared to death of one getting away from me.
I send already send videos daily. Sometimes twice a day. I give shots and oral medication already.
I don't know. I really think I just want to offer the option of only one dog, for double the price.

Yes, discounts are always a pleaser!

One dog for twice the price would definitely be considered concierge service.

RN Well, the Toyota kid just moved out. He still has to come back with his buddy for his other car.
Now I am going to be picky. Only women, no one too young, and any other criteria I dam well please.

RN, Naja, I'm glad you are reaching the financial place where you can be choosier! That must be such a relief!
Interesting note, I saw someone in my area looking for a dog sitter that could handle a dog in a wheelie. That would be an interesting concierge service too.... dogs with higher medical needs? I think you have steps to your yard, so wheelies probably not a good fit.

RN Exactly. I can't take care of dogs that can't do stairs. Unless they are 15 lbs or under. Then I'll carry them down. I actually have that written in my profile.

Indeed, you have a formidable set of stairs to navigate!

RN, good grief, they are showing Christmas Trees on QVC, they started Christmas in July a little early... so weird to see already, although I do know you need to order this stuff early, LOL.

Maybe ordering is early because of uncertainty about tariffs? Just a guess, though.

RN I wish we could get Google Fiber. They are close by, like within a block, but supposedly have no short term plan to service our community. š¢

RN I wish it could do me some good. I can't find any configuration of services and google fiber to make it worth switching.
$70.00 Google Fiber
$10.00 + landline
$82.99 YoutubeTV
--------
That's already 162.99 without a single extra like HBO or Showtime.
It doesn't even offer MLB channel at all which is a deal breaker for me.
There's no savings for me if I match everything I have already to the same things but with GF and YoutubeTV.

RN I read all these posts, here and other places, about ācutting the cableā, etc, etc. Truth is, as Naja has discovered, you donāt gain much and easily can spend more for apps, etc., to maintain pretty much the same level of service and viewing options.

RN, totally agree Mack, I have one friend who is constantly changing from youtube, to sling, I don't even know what she is doing right now because she can't get the channels she wants, much less a better cost.
I just stick with my Comcast but I don't do anything streaming or special channels, just Big Brother Live Feeds, LOL.

RN This is what happened this morning when I let the 8 month old GS puppy Apollo out without supervision this morning.

Yes, that was a surprise. At first he seemed to be there for the cool water and maybe thought he could get the water back but instead dismantled the first pool.. So maybe he thought it would work on the second pool.
But he couldn't be left alone inside at this point, or in a car, loose.
But he's a baby and hopefully he will get some training once his humans see your video.

RN I just now saw I have lost 3 of my regulars to a young couple charging $10 less per night. I charge $39 they charge $29.

RN I was reading comments where sitters like me were complaining about these ultra low prices that new sitters are doing. The replies are pretty much all saying that 2 things usually happen. They realize how much more work it is and raise their prices, or they quit. Also lots of comments how it hurts all the sitters when new sitters price themselves so low. It's considered very rude.
(and I meant they charge $28 in my previous post)

You are proven; they are not. Stay the course. Your customers will be back and begging you to take them back. Raise the prices by $5 a night just for them.
