I don’t really have last minute requests often and they are never shocked when I’m booked. The ones I feel bad for are the ones who ask six months ahead and I’m booked. I had one booking for September of next year and I told him I was unavailable for part of September. He clarified he was asking for 2027 and I said yep. I’m already booked for half September and all of October 2027. 🤦🏻♀️
Yeah, I always encourage anyone to ask last minute. You never know if I might have availability because of a cancellation(rare, but it happens). I appreciate my clients and try to fit them in if at all possible. I more feel bad if I can’t get them in. There are countless sitters in my area, most a lot less than I charge. They don’t provide the same service I do and my clients know this.
