Hey, are you a Are you a dog sitter?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yep, I just got off of a three day dog
sitting gig over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Are you are you a professional dog sitter?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I do it through Rover and then just on the
side where to mouth. So yeah, it's my job for now, Lloyd.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
How now, I have not seen Diane's yet.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
The notes that the owners leave, how ridiculous are they?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
They can be a little ridiculous, but it's also important
to have the information.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Right. So do you need four pages of information?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I've had some two pagers?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Up for example, so there was this whole story on
how people are. Then they make the thing that if
you were dropping your kid off at somebody's house, you
would just go all right.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
See him later.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
For for a dog, people will leave two, three, four
pages of instructions for the dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
And they were taught or pets, i should say.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
And they were talking about some of the most ridiculous
crap that people will put in there.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
For example, m he thinks is real, Oh no, here
we go, here we go.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
My boy will not get out of bed in the
morning unless you say good morning, mister president. That's how
that's how it has to be. He needs his green
He needs his green monkey to sleep. Also, don't be
afraid if he keeps his tail down his throat for
more than a minute.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
So he sucks on his tail because it sues them.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Why do you have to want?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Why do Good morning, mister president. That's the most ridiculous
thing ever.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
You haven't hear Dan say?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But does that sound common to you?
Speaker 7 (01:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I haven't had anything too crazy. Mostly it's about like
medication and like I have one dog that has to
wear boots when it goes for a walk, So I
guess that's a little out there. But yeah, I haven't
had anything too crazy as far as waking up the
dogs to say hello, mister president.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
How about the one that there was another one that said,
whatever you do, whatever you do, don't say the name
Jake Jillenhall around him.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The dog goes crazy, Like that's ridiculous to me.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
That's pretty specific.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, all right, very good, very good, Thank you, ma'am,
thank you. I'll get there in a second. Diane, Hi Elliott,
the morning, Hey Elliott, Yes, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
This is kat Um.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes you are a sinner.
Speaker 8 (02:43):
It's yeah, I was for a while in college. Now
I've graduated, and I'm wondering if that was my dog
shitter that just.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Called How bad are the notes?
Speaker 8 (02:54):
They would be very related to like medications. They would
you would have to cook beef and then put it
in the microwave for forty five seconds and then warm
it up and add some water and this and that.
You know, don't let him go to the bathroom on
the neighbor's yard.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Like okay, but that almost seems well first of all,
no kidding, like I'll curb the dog. That seems big
because they there was another one where they were talking
about the exact time to microwave the food, like not a.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Second more, not a second.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Lesson has to be the perfect temperature for mister president
badly that it has to be the exact right temperature.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
A lot of nodding out of diameter will eat it?
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Or the hand feeding ones. Why there's some that won't
eat out of a bowl or on the ground and
you have to hand feed it to them.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Did you ever have one that told you that you
have to play when you take the dog if you
want him to make a poop, that you have to
have on your phone.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
You have to play Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 8 (03:59):
CHRISTI, it wasn't no, not that far, but like definitely
there was a dog that was a phantom pooper, so
they would poop and then run away from it.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
So you had to be prepared to hold the dog
and get the poop at the same time.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Dear God.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
All right, very good, very good, thank you.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Yes, Tyler Kristen, was that from Joseph has watched over before? R?
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Did you leave crazy instructions with.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Frank Sinatra a part of any of those?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Wait, turn yourself on real quick. By the way, can
I ask you a question about Yoseph? Sure?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Love that kid.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I know that he was getting like did he laser
off all of his pubic hair?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yes, laser lasered it all off, not shaved.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Whoah, No, he lasered it all off.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yes, he said. And I should pull the message he
sent me because he always tells Jones, but he sends
me screenshots of their conversation. Yoseph does, right, and the
most recent one is that he is I'm pretty sure
I can say this.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yes, you can.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Completely naked and hairless on the balls and everything down
there careless, Joseph. He is reveling out over in Kuwait.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
And his reason for making such a permanent decision.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
He said, he just wants to be hair freeless down there.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Not hair freeless, just hair free free.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah right, no, no, like listen, I get it right,
I get it like there are sometimes if I don't shave,
where I look and I go like, God, my nuts
looks sick. The uh is not it's no, but it's
also different to get it laser.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah, well, he wanted it permanently done because I think,
if I remember correctly, when he was stateside, he got
it waxed. Yes, that is right, and so when he
went over he found someone who could do laser to
just completely be hairless.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Jesus Christ down there anyway, I digress.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Yes, he was my pet sitter, yes, And.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What was was your notes to Yoseph ridiculous?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Mike said, yes they were. I'm pretty sure he has
pet experience. He used to work at pet Smart right,
But yes, I he was the first time I ever
left over anywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Was with Yoseph, Yes, right, and he.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Would come to our place right, and but I left
it like emergency contacts obviously that he loves belly rubs
his favorite treats, and what time he gets those treats?
What time he eats his favorite book for story time?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Did Yoseph have to make him eggs every morning? Like
your youth?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Are you serious? He had to make him eggs.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yes, two scrambled eggs every morning, and he had.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
To read him for story time.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
If he yeah, before bed he has I've told Tyler
list the Little Bear series.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But what if Josehaf didn't read that to him? Who cares?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I'm sure is fine?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, but he also we would always turn on the
serious Uh sorry, I heard the Serious channel. It was
like music for dogs. But sometimes he doesn't really like that.
So but his favorite artist is Morgan Wallen, so I
(07:27):
would just say just turn on Morgan wall calm down
and relax.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
So there you go.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, he loved Morgan since he was a puppy.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Now, Diana's shaking ahead. How bad was yours? Not at all?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Mine?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Are?
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I don't have specific like oh you have to you
have to call her missus president or anything like that.
There's no specific music that has to be played. It's
all basically because they're they were on different medicines and
I had to make sure that Dan who watches our
pets all the time knows exactly like listen, the cats
need to be okay, I three.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Pages three to just say what time to be fed
morning and evening.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Two tubs each of sheba for Bobby and Juny for
each meal, and one small can in the cabinet by
the coffee maker for each meal for Lucy. Right, Judy
and Bobby each get a pack of the probiotic with
their evening meal. Put it in the bowl and put
the sheb on top of it.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Oh, thank you, I would have never thought of that.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Also gets one dose of the paste and the syringe
with every meal. I put it in one of the
small glass bowls and let her eat that before her
wet food.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Oh, I don't care.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Now if you want to.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
Give them treats, Bobby and Juny can eat the dehydrated
chicken cubes. Lucy gets the blue wilderness ones in the
tub also in the cabinet next to the coffee maker.
Now we have an automatic feeder in case you get
into a bind. Let us know and we can feed
them some dry food that way through the app until
you can get there.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Oh oh wait, here has to be more unless you
don't is massive, don't forget the litters.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
We've got plastic grocery bags by the above, the litter
boxes in the laundry room.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Also, Lucy gets thyroid medication. And I have to cut
you off.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Are you on now page two?
Speaker 5 (09:14):
I think I just saw you scroll to the next.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
Yes, Lucy gets her thyroid medication in her ear twice
a day. You turn the pen two clicks to line
up the arrows and you rub it in and alternate ears.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Don't get it on your hands. If you do, you
need to wash them.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Oh so if I get it on my hands, I
should wash them. Well, thank god you put that.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
In the note.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
But because that is a specific direction, like you shouldn't
get this on your hands, Like you need to wash
because it's a medication and it could seep in through
your fingers, right could you?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So if you take a dump it by house, you
should wipe your ass.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
Also, please bring in the mail in any packages. Thanks,
here's our numbers. If you need anything, just text us.
So it is three pages, but in my defense, it's
a lot of like medication related. Yeah, I'm not asking
somebody to play music.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, Frank Sinatra if you want him to poop.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Also, yes, kitting the cats will attack if the food
isn't microwave for X amount of time.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Now some people are mentioning that their sitters leave pages
and pages documenting how the stay or the weekend went.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
I get every feeding, I get videos, I get pictures
and some notes.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, I got those two.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Isn't that a big Rover thing? Doesn't Rover do that?
Don't they take pictures every day? With like the report?
Speaker 6 (10:40):
I have no idea, but a lot of people keep
going back to Rover. A lot of my parents use
a pet sitter and it has no ties to any sort.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Of It was just somebody Dan.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
He watches every pet on the block. I see him
walking dogs all the time. He doesn't own a dog.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So he's just in business for himself. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
It's just like it's like it's his side house.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Do you have to reserve him?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
See there, he's pet and Bobby.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
That's my parents.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
He loves Lucy.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Like they have to go through their calendar for the
year ahead just because they need that pet sitter. And
it's someone who's in such high demand it's hard to get.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
How do you even find I wouldn't even know how
to find a pet sitter?
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Word of mouth is massive. Yes, oh really, but then
like you said, then you can go to the like
stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (11:23):
Yeah, when he's not available, we found oh I need
a page. Another found another person through word of mouth.
And the great thing is she's also a vet tech.
So there's never there would never be any problem.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
God because of vet tech wouldn't know to wash their
hands now, they would know.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
You don't want to get this thybroid medication on your skin.
Speaker 10 (11:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Doctor G. G. E E maybe it's Gee.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Is the director for Center for Human Animal Interaction at
Virginia Commonwealth University. They did she that doctor Nancy does
say that animals can't grasp time. Therefore like they may
be stressed out and it is somebody else. So that
makes sense. But people way overdo it. People way overdo it.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
There is an economy for pet care, and there's a
reason that people go out of their way to write
these massive lists of rules and instructions.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
This one dog walker said, their person Carol left a
note if you see or hear the Goodyear blimp, grab
a leash tightly and get home as.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Fast as you can.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
What are the odds of that the animal is.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Terrified of blimp. How the f would you know?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
That?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Probably a bad experience.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
When am I ever going to see the Goodyear blimp?
And by the way, I don't need a note about it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
You ever seen the good Year blimp?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I have?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
It's actually pretty cool when you see it.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
We used to see it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
We used to see its hanger, but that was its
flown near us twice. Oh yeah, we would see the
hanger in LA.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
Is that fun?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, because you would see it sitting out so oh
you also see the blimp? Yeah, but I've never seen
it fly. I would never write that on somebody's sheet. Hey,
if you see the Goodyear blimp pulled on for dear life.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
It probably wasn't even the blimp that triggered the dog originally.
But you can never be too cautious.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I do like the idea of having a song play
for when the dog dumps.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's fun.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
You just put that on your phone or do you
to like put it on a speaker inside the house
and have it the door's on, it starts turtling, Like
did they give them times that they're done?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
They weren't that. They weren't that specific. They weren't that specific.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
Dump.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
No, but they all came back and said, everybody overdoes it?
Everybody overdoes it?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Way too much info.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
I will say I didn't expect Christens to be longer
than Diane's, but Diane did put in that wash your hands.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
That's me being careful for him, because there's instructions on
how to give the medicine, and it's like, don't you
should either wear gloves or make sure that you don't
get this on your hands or wash them?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah right, you don't think as a dog sitter, he
knows that he should wash his hands.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
What's the harm and put in the line in no harm.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
By the way, you can.
Speaker 9 (14:37):
Feed them on your own, but we don't like to
give them dry food. That's for emergencies in case he
got because he at the time was like a building
manager where there happened to be a shooting and so
he was sending me pictures of a bloody floor saying,
I'm waiting to talk to the police and then I'll
be able to get over to feed the cats.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
I once had a dog that was terrified of hot
air balloons.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh oh, so is it common?
Speaker 6 (15:02):
So while this kind of story may work for many
as light amusement about those eccentric dog moms. There may
be some very rational explanations for these instructions.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Oh, but they don't say, why No, that's two Well.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
That blimp and hot air balloons. Oh, I guess similar,
But that's true, a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
But you said, who's afraid of blimp?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Am I going to line one? I can do that. Hi,
Ellie in the morning?
Speaker 10 (15:36):
Are there? Hey?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Who's this?
Speaker 10 (15:38):
This is Ryan's from barking Boarding.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Oh dude? How bad is it? How bad is it?
Speaker 10 (15:44):
It's I mean, I've been doing it for over two decades.
I'm on doing this for a year or two, and
I can't believe over twenty years have gone by.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Has it gotten worse in terms of direction and instruction
over the last couple of years.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
Worse? No, it's it's there's always people always have a
lot of details on their pets. It can be helpful too.
I mean it helps us kind of get through all
the services. We need to make sure the services go
as planned.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Do you have any odd ones like he? It must
be referred to as mister President in the morning. Don't
say Jake jillen All's name. They also said that, I
mean there was one who had a cat that said,
don't leave any cat knives out, not because the cat
will eat the knife, but the cat will stab you
with the knife.
Speaker 10 (16:33):
I think one of the speaking of cats, I think
one of the funniest ones. We were told to feed
the cat last and I forgot about that one time.
And they had a bunch of plants who also had
to water. But as soon as you fed the cat,
it was if you didn't feed the cats and wanted
your attention, it would like follow you around the house
in their apartment. But the second you fed it, it
(16:54):
didn't need you anymore, and you it was literally attacking
my ankles. And you definitely have some crazy experiences coming
in and out of people's homes. And we also, do
you know Daycaren boarding. We have a big facility now
too where people bring our places.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, sure I get there, I get to our place,
all right, Very good?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Right?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Ryan?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Is it true?
Speaker 6 (17:14):
I'm reading on your Instagram twenty five percent off all
drug treats until Halloween.
Speaker 10 (17:19):
That's accurate.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Check it out.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
We have a location at Bailey's Crossroads and in Manastis
as well.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh, I know what, I'm close to Bailey's crossroad. Maybe
when I stop into Peking Gore mainext.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I get in there.
Speaker 10 (17:32):
Oh we're really close there. Yeah, you should definitely stop by.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Excellent excellent ar We have a.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Huge indoor outdoor facility, so uh yeah, we're one of
the only places that their dogters get to go do
outside time all throughout the day at our place.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Beautiful, beautiful, appreciated. Hi, y'all en in the morning, real.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Quick, Hey Elliott, how are you good? What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 7 (17:53):
Hey, my name is Tom. I'm a dog sitter for Wolfish.
The note stuff I think is like the last owner
wrote in you've got some crazy people, You've got some
basic stuff, and then sometimes you do have instructions where
the dog can be just go nuts for something.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
When you hear Diane's note, is that is that a
little overdone?
Speaker 6 (18:15):
What about Kristens?
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Christians is bad too?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Is worse than mine?
Speaker 7 (18:20):
No, both of the notes make sense. You're like, give
them medicine, give them cuddles. I mean, I'm not going
to say good morning, mister president, but like that those things.
Usually the notes that I've seen are you know, hey, look,
I care about my animal very much. It's quirky and
here are some guidelines on how to take care of it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah right, and I get that.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
But what the other part they were saying is people
don't care about humans that much. Like people don't people
drop their kids off at some places, go all right,
i'll see in the morning. Like they don't go through
anything like make sure you feed him dinner and make
sure that he likes scretches.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Well, yeah right. I have a thirteen year old daughter.
I don't send her out with notes, but she can talk.
She can explain, like she's not going to bite someone
if she sees a hot air balloon, So I don't
have to put many notes.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
In what they started in Ashbourn?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Is that true?
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Oh I had no clue either. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
I worked for a franchise in South writings pretty big.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Oh, very good. Good for you, Good for you. All right, dude,
I appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Thank you, my friend, they say, give us a howl.
