My dog walker owners haven't paid me

[Wizard.]

Okay so as you know I recently started dog walking and I had a booking through the website I use to walk a dog once a day for 1 week. They told me they needed a walker for one week which they would pay through the dog website service and then after that by cash. So I have completed a week yet they never confirmed my booking on the website hence I haven't been paid.

I really wanted them to do it through the website as they would be able to leave a review. I'm stuck whether or not I should refuse to walk the dog next week until they pay me or just say I'll create a new booking for next week but it will include last weeks and next weeks price.

I mean they gave me the keys to their flat so they must be trusting people and they work a lot so maybe they just leave it to each other and it doesn't get sorted but I'm quite naive and would probably end up carrying on and not getting paid.

I wouldn't do any work unless I know I'm being paid. Politely bring it up with them and ask them to clarify whether or not they want your continued service. If they have simply forgot, they'll probably be mortified and sort it out quickly but if not well then you know where you stand and can move on to other better clients.

Do this. That way they'll gently be reminded that they have to pay and you'll still get more cash off them.

I'd advise against booking another appointment unless you know for certain they want one, they might think you are trying to ambush them into paying for an appointment they might not want.

Talk to them and see what's what.

I would ask them directly perhaps they simply forgot with being so busy. Definately don't walk their dog again until they pay though!

Ask the aliens that abducted you to pay.

They want me to walk her for the next few weeks.

Hmm but they're ignoring my texts now and I don't want to keep hassling them but I need to know by Monday tbh

Dogs are an alien species
