Is This a Fair Review?
Hi everyone, I’m currently finishing up a pet sit and I’ve got one day left to leave a review. I agreed to stay longer than originally planned, so the owner will see my review while I’m still here. I’d love some feedback on whether this review seems fair to you. Here’s what I’m thinking of writing:
Rating: 3/5
"I don’t like to give out negative ratings, but I’d rate this sit 3/5. It had its positives, such as a great location close to the town center with nice walks, and the house was comfortable for working. Maya, the pet, was affectionate and loved cuddles.
However, there were challenges. The owner was unclear about the end dates, extending the sit multiple times and not communicating well about my departure. When I set a final date, she wasn’t very understanding and continued to push for a later one. Visitors, including the owner’s daughter, came over without proper notice. Maya had some behavioral challenges, like jumping on strangers, barking a lot, and getting overwhelmed in public, which was different from what I was initially told. Her diet was complicated, causing digestive issues that the owner had experienced.
Overall, it was a mixed experience—there were great aspects, but the lack of clear communication and unexpected difficulties made it challenging."
Thanks in advance! (And thanks to anyone who commented on my previous posts)
