Hi all- recently lost my dog and am not ready to commit to another. Going through IVF and waiting to see how that pans out. I ran into a neighbor and said how much I missed my dog- I said I’m available if she needs someone to dog sit while she travels. If she reaches out to me, is this a free service I am providing or can I charge a small fee? I was in the moment and I truly do want to help out but realized her travels may be longer than normal trips where compensation may be appropriate.

Listen to your conscience. You will benefit emotionally from caring for your neighbours dog. At the same time your neighbour benefits from not having to pay a professional dog kennel.
Non dog people that haven’t experienced loosing a dog are unable to truly understand.
My advice is that you view looking after your neighbours dog as therapy but claim any expense it generates.
Then get a pup as soon as you can. Caring for a pup will help you through it

Exactly 💯

What does IVF have to do with dogs?

Why are you asking us whether this is a free service? How would we know? Ask the neighbor.

Very confusing

Don’t go back now and ask for money, especially if she hasn’t even followed up on the offer. If she does follow up on it, but what she asks is a lot and seems like it’s going to put you out, you can always say no, or ask for something in return.

How do you take care of your dog if you travel for work with your dog? Does your dog get enough exercises when you’re in travel? If it’s possible, I would like to know everything.

She’s on my leg and she’s snoring, but I don’t want to move since she looks so comfy. I’m her slave. Planning her birthday— go to the dog beach + eat at a restaurant with a doggie menu + get a pup cake at a dog cafe + spend a night at a hotel (having trouble finding hotels that’s allow dogs >50lbs 😒). What else can I do for her? She has too many toys & doesn’t play with them often. No need for more treats since she eats more treats than kibbles. But what gift can I get her?
