'I put my foot down': Entitled sibling demands her 22-year-old sister dogsit her 130-pound Rottweiler and new chihuahua puppy `for 2 weeks while she's on vacation, despite the sister firmly telling her in advance she can't handle 3 dogs on her own

Listen, puppies may be tiny and adorable and precious, but anyone who has ever had one knows that it takes a lot of work to take care of them. It takes a lot of work to take care of any dog, really, but especially puppies during those critical beginning stages. That is one of the reasons that it is so, so important to make sure that if you're getting a dog sitter, it is someone who can actually do the job well.

Now, things can happen, in any situation, with anyone, including dog-sitters. Dog sitters can make mistakes sometimes, dog owners can make mistakes with their dog sitters sometimes too. But we're talking about accidents - situations where things were supposed to go well and then… didn't. Because that happens. That's not the case in today's story. Here, you have someone who has been told that their regular dog sitter is not up to job this time - because she simply does not feel capable of taking care of that many dogs. And you have someone who didn't care to listen to that.

We don't care if this is your sister or not. Your dog sitter, the person who's first responsibility to you when you are away on vacation is taking care of your dogs, told you that she is incapable of doing it this time. Sister or not, you have to listen to that and take it seriously.

And it really is a lot of work. The fact that the mother does not seem to understand that either is sad. At the end of the day, what matters is you standing on business. You're thinking about the dogs. Leaving them with you would be bad for the dogs just as much as it would be for you.
