I see, my mistake - but still I never anywhere mentioned hundreds or thousands of $ in regards to my own pet care. I was originally responding to the original post in which both the HO and the Sitter did not communicate well - meaning this sitter may be faced with deciding to pay vet bills because they can not get a hold of the HO because they’re on a cruise. I simply replied that it was interesting that I had recently thought what if the sitter cant get a hold of me - ill add that I will reimburse them if needed - and I have been blasted in a toxic positive way - how dare i assume my sitters will pay hundreds or thousands of chf for care - when I never said I expected that.
I think all those suggesting that I should leave cash/leave a credit card should really tell the truth - Do you ask them where the credit card/cash is kept for emergency vet visits? do you ask the HO if they will reimnburse you if you pay the vet, do you really ask if they will reimburse you if its 10, 20, 30k as someone else suggested. I don’t think so - and I am basing that on the multiple conversations I have had with very good sitters while choosing one over the last 6 times I have used THS. I find this whole situation in this thread very interesting and have taken away a lot to think about - mainly that no matter what a HO does according the sitters posts on this forum, it is never good enough for some sitters.
