I’m fairly new to dog sitting & I have a question. If you stayed in the guest room for an overnight stay, do you strip the bed & wash the sheets, etc., even if you know that the client has a cleaning lady coming? Or just straighten up? Please let me know. Thanks!

Hello all,

I desperately need some advice right now. I am currently on a house sit that I am regretting taking more every minute. I currently sitting for a dog and multiple other small animals. Only the dog is listed on the booking and because the owner said there is very minimal work for the rest of them I didn’t push back on it and took the job to help with ratings. It started yesterday and she has been incredibly demanding in terms of what they all need and how to take care of them as well as needing to talk throughout the entire day because she did not leave instructions. More over she told me while she was leaving for the airport that had taken one of the animals to the vet and that I needed to give it medication every night.

Two of the bunnies have fought before, and one busted out of his cage last night to jump into the cage of the other one and I came in this morning to them still fighting and both bloody in the face. These are plastic cages that use plastic connectors, and now I am having a hard time putting the one who escaped’s back together. I need to go to class and the puppy is not supposed to be out of his crate when people aren’t here, but I put the bunny who escaped in his to keep the two that were fighting separated while I try to put the cage together.

I don’t know what to do. I offered to take them to the vet if needed, but I don’t know how to keep them separated regardless at this point except keeping on in the dog’s crate but then that means I can’t leave. I have been reaching out for about three hours and this is the longest the owner has gone without responding. I told the owner I am willing to take the puppy with me to class but I don’t want to do that without permission. Please help!

Hi
I have recently been laid off so I took a pet sitting job as a way to get by. The guy said he could not e transfer due to an expired card? And sent a check online then asking me to send &900 to his pet supplier. Me being dumb and stupid deposited the check but did not send the money to the pet supplier. Who needs &900 suppose for 6 days of dog sitting? Anywho my account got hacked and drained.
My own fault but I was so desperate for work and to feed my kids.
I feel like an idiot. Please watch out.
He goes by Sean and uses the name James as someone who is currently watching his dog but has a family emergency.
