Thanks!!!

You need to use it as a cheat sheet and make a page/list for yourself/clients.

I wanna get licensed and insured/bonded and do the same thing OR make a Rover profile and start doing this for real lol tried to do Wag but it apparently is not available here ha Rover I am unsure about as they take like 15 or 20 percent lol but it is convenient and they have their own insurance so I wouldn’t need to pay for it and I wouldn’t have to make contracts which I doubt anyone would want to sign anyway lol

I have a friend who does Rover pet sitting as a full time gig. Rover does take their cut, and you also have to watch how much you make and put away a fairly decent amount to pay taxes, but she loves it. You should definitely sign up.

Is that a real thing?? Never knew that. But I think I would have known if it got into my sinuses, no? I gag when food accidentally goes down the wrong tube lol plus I was eating pretty slow, took me forever cause I was also on here. To the point the pancakes got cold lol

Grrrrrl, you are straight up gullible!

Can you use the fresh berries themselves or do you dehydrate them and then make a powder?

The fresh berries work just fine. The tabs are much much cheaper to buy if you want to try it. And far easier to find.
I think the berries effects don't last as long.

And I bit my tongue the other day

Ouch! I hate when I do that! I sometimes bite the inside of my cheek too. It's not fun either!

I was outside checking on my chickens and ducks earlier. I like to visit them a few times a day, clean out the coops daily, check for eggs etc. I was squatted down talking with the ducks and Priscilla jumps on my hip/back. Silly girl! She was wanting attention. She is so adorable! I tried to pet her and she is squatting. She is so close to laying! I'm excited! She sure is taking her time. I say that only because I have been lucky with layers starting at like 19 weeks old. She is 22 weeks old now. So to me that is taking her time lol.

When I was out there I also saw Elvis trying to get frisky and Bowie run up to him, grab him by the comb and knock him off his girl. Then a little squawk squawk and peck for good measure. Elvis was like... "What? I wasn't doing anything." Strolls away. I'm glad no duking it out this time tho. I think those extra girls I am getting is going to help a lot. As long as the peace can be kept in the meantime.

Yeah, I’ve been researching and reading lots of articles and pet care sites and Rover profiles, believe me LOL thank you

Thanks, I may have to try it! I’m definitely a little hesitant because it is such a high cut whereas insurance is much cheaper than the cut Rover takes BUT everyone seems to use Rover and trust Rover these days and it does seem to be way easier and a good way for people to find you and me to find them, etc. so I’m thinking it might be worth it to sign up anyway. Might still make a decent pay doing it. And I am sure I can still keep a few cash/check clients. I think. Wonder if they have a policy against doing pet sitting outside Rover? Like doing both? I hope not... if they do though, I guess it is not a big deal. I don’t really have many clients anyway, just DB&FSIL and they’re family so it doesn’t really count and then their neighbor and that’s cash. So it wouldn’t be hard to get new clients to do use the app. I think it is less than $10,000 a year is no taxes, right? So do need to watch that for sure! Although, I guess some taxes might not be bad. But that’s a big cut too. So I’d definitely need to watch it lol but I’m thinking I do want to do Rover because I am really loving the pet sitting thing haha

Grrrrrl, you are straight up gullible!

I know but in my defense, that one was really believable and really sounded like a real thing! I mean, sugar is terrible for you, so it only makes sense that you could get a sugar infection lol

But tbh one time in high school, my friends told me they painted the cafeteria ceiling red and I actually looked up.... even though I knew they didn’t and would have noticed if they had lol but it was like a point to prove how gullible I was

Huh, interesting

Me too! It hurts bad! Lol apparently the receptionist asked if I bit my tongue or cheek recently because I guess sometimes you can bite your them and get an infection lol

I think it will help a lot, sounds like they are already working it out anyways! Spring might be a bit of a blood bath but with those pullets you’ll be helping.

I stopped reading at the 10,000 amount.
There is taxes on any income.
If you are referring to state taxes I am not familiar with your state but federal...everyone is suppose to file a tax return if they have an income.
Which means there is taxes.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that but I am hoping we will get through it without serious damage. So far, there's been a lot of blood but from superficial injuries. Nothing major as of yet. It's seemed to look worse than it turned out to be. So I am grateful.
