“Meghan and Collin are not leaders in the pet sitting industry. Instead they encourage horrible business practices including nickeling and diming clients. They have a Facebook group called “sitter confessionals”. Someone posted that they did a meet and greet and sent an invoice to the client, which was not paid. The client decided to go a different route and canceled the request. The sitter reached out to the group. Several people commented to charge for meet and greets. I made my own comment in disagreement and did so factually. No other profession charges for consultants or estimates. Even lawyers and accountants usually give 20-30 minute consults before charging. There is other things pet sitters can do besides charging. When I commented this, another member commented on my comment and said “it’s insulting to tell others how to run their business”. That’s the point of the group is to give advice. I gave mine factually but as an opinion that charging for meet and greets is a horrible business practice. And in response to her I said “it’s insulting to charge for meet and greets when other professions don’t”. Meghan and Collin deleted my whole comment thread. When I messaged asking why.. they said “saying that it is “insulting” was not appropriate.” My use of insulting was in response to someone using it against me. This member then tagged me in her own comment asking “why I deleted my comment and was it because everyone was ganging up on me and I knew what I posted was wrong?” So purposely egging me on and using bullying tactics. I posted my original comment again on the original thread again. And then replied to the member tagging me in her comments “nope, you got it removed by the admins for your bullying and use of the word “insulting”. But as you can see it’s posted again!”
Meghan and Collin instead of diffusing the situation ended up blocking me from the group and it came down to because my view doesn’t match theirs in regards to charging clients. They participated in the bullying. Everyone should be able to give their own advice on how to run a business for people to choose the option that works best for them. If people disagree with someone’s advice, they do not need to engage in argument and can make their own comment in favor of their opinion.
When a similar review was posted to their business page, they turned around turned off reviews from their page. Again censoring people when their views do not align with theirs. Not at all appropriate and these two clearly do not know how to properly handle conflict situations nor the differences in regional language and voice. I do not recommend anyone to take advice from these two.”
