@mikomeko, congrats on 30+ reviews.
Each time we come across a Pet Parent that has unreasonable expectations on one topic (e.g. pet care, arrival/departure time, property stuff, all sorts) then we find, over time, that there are similarly unreasonable expectations on other topics. Based on that experience, we suspect that you will find incremental challenges with the noted Pet Parent.
This wholly reasonable. We recently posted about different mindsets of Pet Parents (url) …
No right answer here. Seems Pet Parent has given you free choice - continue or withdraw. Perhaps they believe that they’d find someone that wants a ‘job’ to sit their house all day. Perhaps you really want to visit that location? Regardless, seems that Pet Parent has clearly indicated that housesitter staying mostly at property is important to them. At least you know that with three weeks to go.
