If we've learned one thing here at I Can Has Cheezburger it's make sure you find a reputable dog sitter who respects your rules and doesn't put your dog in any kind of danger. For any reference needed about why that's so important, just take a look at the article we wrote a while back about the woman who left her dog with a sitter only for the dog sitter to break her rules and refuse to correct her behavior, forcing the dog owner to cut her vacation short and take the dog back. That sure was a drama festival! It's true that having a pet is not easy, and taking care of them isn't easy either, but when we hire a professional to take care of our pets and we pay them for their time, we expect them to for listen to our instructions. But pets can be get pretty complicated, and sometimes issues arise.
Today we have the story of a man who had the audacity to charge his sister for dog sitting, and then intentionally break all the rules that she had set up. He left the dog outside for two days straight, which led to the poor dog getting fleas, he didn't feed the dog his proper food and instead tossed him some pieces of chicken, you get the drift. And then when his sister came to pick up the dog and got upset, he said she owed him money for the time he watched the dog for.
Hmm, this could really go either way if we're basing this exclusively on the title. For one thing, we totally believe in letting dogs and cats be happy and carefree, but that can mean very different things to different people. On the other hand, if the dog was really put in an unsafe situation, then the dog sitter is 100% the one in the wrong. Let's read on and find out exactly what happened:
Hmm, the owner doesn't mention whether or not the dog has any health or behavioral issues, but it might be possible. Another point here is that the sister is entitled to spend however much time and money she wants on the dog, even if it does seem excessive to people who don't know the dog.
