When a dog's owner is gone, a dog sitter takes care of the pet. While following all directions from the dog owner, the dog sitter plans meals and exercise times for the dog.

Regular walks, feeding the dog on a schedule, transporting it to the vet if it becomes sick, and administering medication are all common dog-sitting responsibilities. Clients' dogs are kept happy and healthy by good dog sitters.

Dog owners want a dog sitter who offers excellent care for their dogs at a fair price. So pet owners frequently use pet sitters when they go on vacation, travel for business, work long hours, or are too ill or injured to care for their pet.

A good dog sitter communicates with the owners frequently and informs them right away if there is an emergency concerning the dog's health or welfare. Pet sitters frequently provide multiple visits per day, and some even provide overnight care.

In today's post, the OP shared that the lady who normally watches the kids for date nights offered to watch the dog so they did not have to board her. But then she discovered that the dog sitter had been taking food and drinks to her bedroom and sleeping there during the night and most of the day all weekend.

She has just decided to do whatever she wants

Here are a bunch of the most upvoted comments from Redditors in response to the story.

She took it her way and you yours

Really?

This Redditor turned down a job that expected them to sleep on the couch

You define what it means to do the job

Did you expect her to sleep on the couch?

Humans do not have that ability

That is something that should be communicated

It's totally up to her on how to handle the task

She assumed sleeping on the bed was okay

You weren't clear about your expectations or boundaries

Taking food in there was not appropriate

You have to set the expectation when you hire someone

Why was your arrangement so vague?

She's essentially staying there while you're gone

You don't say anything about paying her for this

You can't just drop in and feed them twice a day

The OP was unclear about the expectations

This is disrespectful to someone else's living space

Unless you had a formal agreement on where she would sleep

She doesn't want anyone else put out

Pet sitting is the act of caring for a pet in its own home while the owner is away. One has to discover the preferred walking routes for the dogs, then come up with entertaining techniques to keep them entertained amongst other things.

Not much info was provided as to whether the dog sitter did her job or not but then, the OP seems pissed that the dog sitter made herself way too comfortable.
