We pet owners know that our pets are our babies, and there are very few people we trust to give them the care and attention they deserve adequately. When push comes to shove, sometimes we need to arrange for some last-minute pet care. There are several sites where petsitters can advertise their services and pet owners scavenge through them carefully selecting whom they believe to be the best fit.
Only sometimes, pet sitters fall short of expectations. And this is something we are just not willing to compromise on. In this frustrating instance, the original poster of this Reddit thread has a justifiable reason for frustration. His pet sitter literally locked herself out of his room, where his pet rabbit resides, and is given all necessary care. And then, without telling the pet owner, she orders herself a locksmith and sends OP the bill. Interesting how that works out, isn't it. OP, you've done nothing wrong here buddy, and don't even think for a second that you have! Let's get into the nitty-gritty details, y'all.
"I don't think you should pay any of the locksmith fee. I did some pet sitting when I was younger, and I never locked a bedroom door. Why on earth would anyone do such a thing?
"You are definitely being generous by agreeing to even pay half. It's her mistake, her responsibility. I'm curious how a locksmith was even involved without your knowledge/consent. Don't they typically require proof of residency/ownership?"
"She made the mistake, why would she lock a bedroom door? She should be eating that cost because she went ahead and got the locksmith without talking to you first."
"I wouldn't pay a penny towards the locksmith, and I'd be seriously considering not paying her the full amount for not following your agreement. I'd also be leaving poor reviews on Google, Facebook and Yelp so that others don't get caught up with her poor service."
