'Was she seriously hoping I wouldn’t notice?' Pet-sitter helps herself to some of the owner's $15 cheese, lets the cat and dog get to it, then throws the whole block out, now the owner wants to leave a bad review for her

We love our cats. Like a lot. And when we leave our cats, we worry about them. Also a lot. That is why it is so important to find good cat sitters, to have someone in your corner who you trust not only with your cat but also with your house. It's important to have someone who will communicate well, keep you updated, send you pics and tell you what it happening. And that is what this cat owner thought they were missing with their sitter - the clarity in communication.

See, the cat sitter ate some of their cheese and also let the cat and dog of the family get to it. And yes, that could be a problem, especially if one of the pets has a negative reaction to it. But they didn't. And the sitter wasn't worried because they weren't told about the pets having allergies or dietary problems. so overall… could have been worse. Much worse. We have seen stories of everything from cat sitters throwing parties in the owner's houses to cat sitters accidentally leaving cats out all night. Small mistakes happen, and this sounds like that's all that it was.

Okay, so we get it. The communication was bad, you really wanted to have some of that cheese that night, and getting out of having to tip someone is always something that we half want to do anyway, but this… is silly. You're overreacting for sure.

They didn't try to hide that they did it, they were honest about it when you asked, and maybe it wasn't communicated quite so perfectly from your side that they weren't allowed to have some of what was already out in the open. And that's okay. It happens.
