Do you remember the pet sitter who rang when she lost the old dog?
First wanted mum to meet her in a place around half an hour away to give back keys (um..no).
So mum posted cheque. met her this week to get keys.
She had given her an extra day (25/day-upper end of price range specified (20-25) as not confirmed)
Girl had said she would try and lower it from 25/day.
Came to visit (so knew where we were). was asked about the distance-no trouble.
So two weeks affter visiting and having recieved the cheque-didn't realise it was so far, needs an extra 40 quid. thats about 15 quid a day...
Now, perhaps if it had been mentioned earlier, say when price arranged, it might not be quite such a silly thing, but even then.
Am outraged mum gave her the money to make her go away.
Blooming cheek when she knew the distance and what not.
Oh an apparently if doing it again she would get her 'friend' to do it, but we would get to meeet her and all (how kind!) . So not even remotely ever using her again!
Cheeky..
 
Good riddance, I say! Do you have another sitter in mind or are you going to play it by ear?

We've had our fair share of boarding nightmares over the years. One Manhattan boarding facility lost Stella's food and she didn't get fed for three days

. Every time I called in, they insisted all was fine, which, when I picked her up, I discovered was utter bs.

Our current sitter is just brilliant, however. In fact, she was just last week voted Best of NY. Hurrah!
 
not fed for three days!
Have another sitter in mind (me!! ) but she was full up this time. Puts you off leaving them!
(not easy to ship out 8 chickens, 2 cats, 4 dogs and 2 horses (and the hamster..)
 
Poor Stella!! That's bloody disgraceful. I bet the poor little mite wondered what the hell was going on. I'm a bit wary of using these services as I met someone locally who does it and his dogs were a mess. Luckily I have lovely neighbours who pop in and let them out/feed them whever I'm out more than 4 hours
 
I have a wonderful walker who comes every afternoon Monday to Friday and takes the dogs out £10 for both dogs for 90minutes.
