Dog sitter quits agency after they find out their boss was pocketing 60% of their total earnings: ‘[She was] trying to claim she only takes 30%’

Back in the old days, pet owners would find trusted individuals to look after their furry friends through word-of-mouth. Nowadays, there are a multitude of websites and apps—Craigslist and Rover, for two—that match you with the perfect pet sitter or walker. Dog-walking agencies, however, demand a cut of your earnings, which isn't out of the ordinary. Usually, that cut is somewhere from 20-30%, but in this next story, the dog-sitter's boss takes 60% of their earnings without telling them. A paycheck is a paycheck, but when your boss is stealing your money, you probably want to remove yourself from that employment opportunity as soon as possible.

What would you do in this situation? Confronting a money-stealing higher-up is already a task in itself. But if your boss denies it, even though you have documentation and proof that claims otherwise, do you escalate? How would you escalate? Money is money, and in this economy, you have to ensure nobody is pulling a fast one on your finances—that's usually everyone's last straw. Scroll below to read the full story.
