Neighbour's dog walker isn't walking the dogs [shock]

[BigRedBall]

There's a dog walker who comes and takes next door's dogs every morning.

When I drive around the corner to take dd to school he's parked on the road having a snooze with the dogs in the back of the van! I've caught him doing it loads of times.

The other day I realised he also takes dogs from another house up the road. This time I walked past him putting dogs in the van. Then I walked back from taking DS to nursery and he's parked around the corner again just sitting reading the newspaper. I gave him evils and he looked a bit sheepish. I could hear the dogs barking in the back.

Should I spy on him a bit more before telling the neighbours?

Dob them in.

Poor dogs. Poor ripped-off customers.

I would like to know too. I feel so sorry for the dogs that are cooped up in a van when they should be getting exercised. That guy is stealing money from people. The nerve!

Maybe tell a newspaper and let them interview the guy? Or TV? Our station does segments about rip off contractors. They try to interview the guys.

Please tell them.

I pay for a dog walker and it is really important my Jack Russell gets a decent walk every day or he can become very agitated and even aggressive.

Sorry in didn't update yesterday. I posted a letter last night saying what I've observed. It's up to them what they do now.

The dog walker or dog itself might get to letter first

Why can't you just speak to them?

I dogwalk because I love dogs and don't have one of my own. This chancer is making me LIVID!

If the note's in a sealed envelope hopefully he won't know to destroy it before the owners see it. In fact, I usually pick post up off the floor and put it on the side so the dogs and I don't tread on it, there's a certain amount of schadenfreud in wondering if this git has actually tidied up the letter that will hopefully be his doom!

I would go batshit if I found out my dog walker was doing this. Please make sure they know.

Omg I would go MENTAL if I found out a dog walker was doing this with my dogs! It's a huge dishonesty and breach of trust - this cowboy is obviously only in it for the cash and has keys to these owners homes.

He can't be a genuine dog lover one bit if he is locking them in a van that's so so sick! Poor dogs!

It's getting warmer too with going into summer these dogs will suffer.

Does he have a Facebook page where you can rate him or leave comments? A community page where you could warn others?

This has got me really angry he is an animal abuser and a fraudulent one at that!

What an utter cock!!!! I'd be very glad of knowing and would consider you a thoughtful and lovely neighbour.

That's terrible, they cost a fortune! I meet my dog walker in the park sometimes.
