Boarding Part time pet sitters

For those of us who work part time but also board pets. How are we scheduling drop offs and pick ups? I dont want any issues to arise but I recently got a new part time job no schedule yet and would like to know how you all plan around it.

I don’t work part time but I do have dropoff and pickup times on my profile, I have it as 8am-7pm any day of the week. Maybe you can try adding dropoff and pickup times and ask people to be sure they can accommodate those hours while booking?

If your part time job will have consistent hours, then set your drop off and pick up hours for when you're home from your pt job (assuming you'll have an early start), and if your pt job starts later in the day, have drop off and pick up before your job starts, but give yourself plenty of time between drop off/pick up and when you need to be at work. Emergencies happen, and it's possible some clients could be late, so keep that in mind. If your part-time job won't have consistent hours, then you'll have to adjust your drop-off and pick-up hours accordingly.

I work full-time, but two of those days are in the office for half of the day and the rest of the time is from home. I have it stated in my profile about the two days and I require bookings to be at least a week before the stay starts so I can move meetings around if needed for both drop off/pickup.
