My dog sitter is snooping through my stuff

[Buttonbee24]

Long story short - I have separated from my partner and my dog sitter is desperate to know what is going on. Weird things have been happening in the house lately - doors to rooms that aren’t normally open are open and today, I left my wardrobe doors in a specific position ( one door open, one shut) and they were both shut when I got home so she had obviously been looking to see if his clothes were still here. I live alone and have a stair gate on my bedroom door so the dogs don’t get in so no other explanation.
I don’t have specific proof this is happening but I think I need some! - suggestions please as it’s not nice!!

I don't think I'd wait for proof and the subsequent conversation of denial and evidence, I think I'd just terminate the arrangement.

Why don't you get a small security camera and set it up in your bedroom? I've got 3 really cheap ones, actually designed for indoor use but which I use to monitor my garden. You can link the camera up to your phone and if you have an SD card in the camera it can record any intruder in your bedroom.
Then you would have actual proof that this person is snooping.

I would have ended the contract straight away.

What do you need proof for? Will you confront her?
If you don't want to simply get rid of her i think you need to say - please can you just come into kitchen, take dogs and go. There is no need to venture to other rooms.

If she denies it say - I know someone has been in the house and assumed it was you. Is it not you? if not, I will get police involved as i have an intruder and it needs to be dealt with....

Wow, that’s petty messed up if she is actually going through your stuff. Why is she so desperate to know if ur together or not anyway?

It would be the end of the arrangement for me, and maybe drop her a message to not snoop through the house of the next unlucky person she works for.

@Buttonbee24 is this person a friend or through an agency?

I’d put a camera in the bedroom and see if you catch her.

My problem is also that I have a reactive dog with a bite history - so not easy to find other dog sitters! Otherwise I would definitely have told her to go immediately. Think I will invest in a small camera so I at least have proof. Thank you everyone!

@Buttonbee24 But once you've got your proof then what? You've not said how you know the dog sitter.
You said your dog has a bite history, that's a separate issue

You can't trust this person, so even if you catch them red handed... It won't change the fact you can't trust them.

I'd put a camera with speaker in your bedroom, and when it alerts you I'd speak through the camera and ask 'What are you doing in my bedroom?'
