Hey pals! Today we've got quite an eye-opening and somewhat bizarre pet-sitting tale for you guys. The original poster of this thread shares his experience with a client who expects him to tolerate her dog panting and slobbering on him in the name of friendliness. After the client points out that he turned away from the dogs' excitement, insisting he should embrace their slobbery affections, the pet sitter finds himself in an uncomfortable position. Despite his attempts to maintain composure, the situation reaches a tipping point when the dogs' breath becomes unbearable. In this case, the client's insistence that embracing the dogs' breath is a sign of being a "real dog person" seems somewhat extreme. It's perfectly reasonable for individuals to have different sensitivities, and not everyone can handle certain smells or sensations! This dog owner seems a bit ridiculous if you ask us.
The OP pet sitter made the difficult decision to prioritize his well-being and comfort, even if it meant losing a consistent high-paying client. And we totally support that decision! It's essential to find a balance that works for both parties involved, respecting each other's preferences and creating a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone.

![Font - I [24f] am a pet-sitter and recently got a client who needs some regular pet-sitting as she goes out of town for the weekends sometimes. She has 6 dogs. Very friendly dogs. After my second weekend there, she called me and thanked me but said she was "concerned" about one thing she saw on the nanny cam footage. I thought of what I could have done wrong...](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAI=)
