Question for boarders an petsitters

Myra on Boarding - Sun, June 08 2008

Hi everyone! I am a petsitter and I got this e-mail replying to one of my petsitting posts on another site,and the name on the "from" line was a females but the signature was a males.Also, the person is needing care for 2MONTHS!It just sounded kinda odd to me and wanted to know what all of you thought before I replied back?

I know nothing about the pet sitting business but my guess would be that maybe it's a couple (husband and wife) looking for a sitter. There are very few things in the world that could keep me away from my furkids for 2 months but maybe it's something extreme like a surgery, etc.

As someone who has done everything from babysitting to house cleaning what I realized is pretty much anytime you think its fishy and have a gut feeling you're probably right. You could email for more information but until you're comfortable don't get involved.
