Redditor Is Furious To Discover That The Dog Sitter Was Sleeping In Her Bedroom While She Was Not Home
Most pet owners must seek the services of pet sitters anytime they need to leave the house to go to a location far from their home because it is not always possible to bring their pets along. The hired person was expected to pay multiple visits to watch the animals, but they often opted to stay in the house, allowing them to use the entire house with the owner’s permission.
OP used to pay a lady to babysit her kids on date nights, and she offered to watch Op’s dog for a weekend while she was away with her family for vacation. OP noticed that her garage opener was offline, so she searched her house camera for the lady to reset it. Read the complete story to find out how OP reacted after seeing the lady eating food on her bed.

5. A Redditor criticizes OP’s behavior in blaming the dog sitter, despite the fact that it was OP’s fault for providing her with a vague explanation.
6. Redditor believes that the dog sitter assumed to handle everything her own way because OP didn’t explain anything to her.
7. According to Redditor, due to imprecise communication between OP and the dog sitter, she may have felt she had to stay at home.
8. Certainly! If the distance to come and go to watch the pets is too far, it is best to stay at home.
9. Redditor advises OP to be more specific next time while hiring someone to watch her dog.
10. Redditor called it a great deal to have a pet and house sitter for three days for $200.
11. Redditor, being a pet sitter, turned down the job when the owner expected her to sleep on the couch.
12. Redditor blames OP for not communicating properly about the sleeping arrangements with the dog sitter.
13. Redditor has a valid point.
14. Yes, it might be the reason to put blankets on the couch.
15. Redditor wants to know whether the lady was house sitting too or if she was supposed to stop by to take care of the dog.
16. Yes, OP should talk to the lady about every arrangement she wants to be follow.
17. Redditor did the job professionally because of the clear communication with the pets’ owner.
18. According to Redditor, OP, as an employer, has a responsibility to properly communicate with the employee about what is not permitted.
19. Yes, the dog sitter did what she thought was correct because OP was not precise about her do’s and don’ts.
20. Redditor asks OP whether she told the lady where to sleep if she had to stay overnight.
It was unclear if OP had adequately dictated the pet sitter’s obligations. If she was allowed to stay at OP’s house, OP should inform her of the places she was not permitted to occupy. It appears that OP did not tell her anything but expected that she would not go over her limit and sleep and eat on the couch because OP herself had never used the owner’s bedroom when doing the same work before. The lady was not entirely incorrect to sleep in the bedroom because she may have thought it would be fine for OP, but eating food on someone else’s bed was not appropriate.
