I had asked repeatedly when would be a good time and "convenient" to pick my dog up and was never told of any deadline

Money is nothing to me but "principle and quality people" are

SHE HAS LOST ME AS A CUSTOMER ! :mad:

snowbird I live in a courtyard villa and have 2 very friendly yorkies and occasionally I am in need of a sitter. If you are ever interested in just exchanging services in lieu of payment please pm me.

That really stinks. Was it the sitter you quoted in your post? She will not last long with that kind of customer service.

YES !! :cus:

Something does not compute. I could understand a charge for two days for a dog left 23 hours, but not three and even that would require some strange times for drop off and pick up. I've known Yvonne for over ten years. She is one of the sweetest, most honest people I have ever met. Sounds like a total miscommunication to me.

It's no big deal and I certainly don't hold you responsible for your friend. She may have good references but I'm just telling you what our experience was as my wife was the one that picked up our dog and had it been me I would not have paid the extra. Maybe she didn't like my wife. Who knows but as the song say's.... "Once bitten twice shy" and it's no big deal as my wife is the one that says this has shown "us" the quality of a person and will not go back. I just can't understand why after my asking when it would be convenient for "her" as to what time to pick up our dog....she NEVER mentioned a 10 am "deadline"

Headed to Atlanta..... Enjoy your day :crap2:

It's over and done with...... Gotta keep my bride happy and has taught us to "ASK QUESTIONS FIRST"

Enjoy your day

I also had a horrible sitter stay in my home. She ignored feeding instructions, trained the cat to litter in house vs lanai, rearranged dozens of personal items in my home, and used a credit card left for pets to the vet emergencies to buy herself food.
Sitters Initials are B F.

Think I'd be calling the police if that happened. Using your credit card for personal usage is theft, plain and simple.

My dogs are my children and I won't be taking them over to her again

We have a 10 year old 55 lb Labradoodle and need to have someone take her in for a week in April while we are away. We have had sitters come to our house before, and she didn't do well with that arrangement.

Jaked 02-06-2015 11:46 AM

Does she get along with other dogs? We have a 10 year old male Labradoodle.

I have a yellow lab and Bichon and am looking for a good Dogsitter for Apr 7-18. Does your friend take larger dogs (she's very gentle and loving)? Please let me know.
Thanks .
