If you're the type of person to consistently leave the house empty, then your pets are sure to get lonely without you. This problem is even worse if you have a dog that can't accompany you to work or travel, so you're going to be forced to find a dog walker to provide some company for your pup and, of course, take him for a walk.

Since your precious pup is going to be spending plenty of time with the dog walker, you want to make sure this person can be trusted before letting them take care of your dog. The last thing you want happening to you is what you're about to read down below.

This family decided to turn to Reddit to get some opinions on what happened to them recently. They had a dog walker for some time that they were fond of and never had issues with.

It was all going great until one day when they asked to her to take care of their friend's dog too. All she had to do was let the other dog out of his cage to the backyard, and continue her job as always.

This doesn't sound like it could cause an issue but the dog walker was scared to release the poor dog and the dog ended up staying trapped in his cage for 11 hours until the family came home. After the dog walker shared her story on Facebook and got tons of support from other people, the family was worried that they made a mistake by attacking the dog walker, so they shared the story on Reddit.

There are more details to this story so we recommend reading the entire thing before coming to any conclusions. So make sure to scroll down and see if you agree with the people of Reddit.

All of this started when the family's friend asked them to watch their dog for a week, and they had no problems with that.

The dog walker wanted to be extra careful and meet the new dog beforehand, but failed to show up when they agreed.

The dogs were quite upset with their situation since the poor dog has been locked for a while. However, the dog walker was too afraid to let him out so he stayed there for 11 hours.

After they saw that people stood on the side of the dog walker, they got worried and consulted the people of Reddit.

Users on Reddit were pretty unison in saying they did nothing wrong.

They did everything they could to get her comfortable with the new dog.

Making a dog spend 11 hours in a crate is horrible.

There were plenty of solutions for the issue.

Redditors sided with the family on this one, as opposed to the Facebook users who commented on the dog walker's story. It seems like there were plenty of other things the dog walker could have done to alleviate the situation but she decided not to do anything.

Do you think the dog walker could have done more, or do you believe that it's not her job to deal with other dogs?
