What to say to lying dog walker?

[oobeedoiwannabelikeyou]

Sent home sick from work yesterday, still off sick today. DH messaged walker at 9am to say dog was fine (she had been ill last week)
Dog walker messaged back saying Perfect I'll be to take her out.
Comes to 12pm no walker, DH messaged again to say where are you?
She messaged back saying she'd been and gone from 8:45-9:45 and would be back at 2pm.
DH said that's not true and that I was at home.
Walker messaged back assuring him she'd been.
DH said he would be coming home to walk her as I was too sick to and not to bother coming back in the afternoon.
She maintains she had walked her.
SHE DIDN'T I WAS AT HOME WITH HER!
Anyway the trust is gone, Therefor she is going. How do I word this?
I know she's lied and doesn't obviously give a shit but I would like to hold my head up high walking past her knowing I was right and handled it correctly without flying off the handle.
Please wise women if mumsnet help me with wording a message.

Geordie1944 I got my dog when I was still with my ex. We worked out his care and exercise between us working very different hours. I wanted to keep him when we split, and ex wasn't in a position to have him anyway so he'd have ended up back at the rescue if I hadn't kept him. I had done all my sums to make sure I could afford a dog walker as I have to work full time to support me, my DD, Ddog and Dcat. I would much rather be going for long walks with him myself , and do at the weekend, than paying someone to take him out.

Aww poor little doggie this makes me so sad and bloody angry
Bloody bitch
Wonder how many times this has happened and....how many other people is she doing this to?
Get rid of her big time but arrange for her to come round as if to take doggie out get your key and tell her to do one ☝️

How bizarre, can’t wait to see what she does!

@Geordie1944
That's as daft as saying "why have children if you're going to use childcare at all". Especially as in this case, the OP only uses the dog walker once a week due to her job.

@Geordie, so as a dog owner, I am not allowed to go anywhere at all - until I have walked my dog?

If I need to work/go out/take parents somewhere, I ask the dog walker to do it for me just for that day. That doesn't seem strange to me!

I hope you manage to get your keys back to save you the expense of changing locks

@TheHodgeoftheHedge: but the point is that I didn't actually say anything - I asked a question, which the OP was courteous enough to answer. You on the other hand simply jump in with an unwarranted assertion which implies a judgement I did not begin to make. Wind your head in.

" so as a dog owner, I am not allowed to go anywhere at all - until I have walked my dog?"

Show me where I said this. You can't because I didn't. I simply asked a question, which the OP was courteous enough to answer. You on the other hand accuse me of holding views which I do not - which some might see as defensive. I don't care when or how you walk your dog, so long as you clean the dogshit up after you.

Ps just to fulfill your desire for an answer, there are hundreds of reasons why people use dog walkers. If you'd read the thread properly you'd see that the OP only uses one once a week because of her working hours and hasn't actually been back to reply since you posted.

Where did Op answer question courteously?

To your question I meant - sorry!

Geordie
You said the ops question was "pathetic" then asked asked a pretty sarcastic question.

Op hasnt replied to you at all what are you talking about?

Op come back and update us please?!

Pink- I want to know too!

Oh, me too.

How did she defend her lying arse actions, OP?

Oh yes, it's Wednesday today. Hope you got a good resolution OP.

So it comes to 10:30am and DH gets a message asking what's happening with DDog as she hadn't heard from either of us?!?
DH messaged back saying I had messaged her and that she hadn't responded to me, he added that I would be walking her at lunchtime and in the future as the trust was gone.
She then went on about how upset she was that this had happened and that she had absolutely came and taken my dog out last week..
DH again sent back that she didn't come for her we know this as I was home on the sofa with DDog
He then got a really long message about the upstairs (broken) tv being on and she knew someone was in when she took her and a whole jabber of nonsense.

He then replied a simple return our keys
And that's the end of it.
I actually can't believe the audacity and barefaced cheek of her and for her to insult mine and DH's intelligence the way she has nothing short of crazy.

Wow. I can't believe that she is still claiming that she took your dog out for a walk! I'm astounded that anyone can lie with such audacity. 😮😮

I can believe she's sticking to her (mad and totally unbelievable story). She has to save face with her employers and other customers. If word gets out she admitted not walking your dog she'd be toast.

If she sticks to the mad story there's always going to be an element of doubt to the story and people can give her the benefit of the doubt

Sorry it came to this. Good luck getting your keys back. Id be doing this as soon as possible. The trust has well and truly gone

The cheek of it

It’s interesting that your dog had been ill so her services were not required your DH contacts her at 9am and letter she texts to say she collected your dog 15 mins before your DH had contacted her that day or did I get that completely wrong?

Still strange to insist she walked her when she hadn’t then to ignore messages to then go on and say she hadn’t received any messages from you or DH all day!

Totally barmy!

Like pp my dog walker sends pics of walks and posts them on facebook so I know she has been out.*

Ive ween a dog walker turn up at the beach, take photos of all the dogs then put them all back in their leads and leave again 🙁

Some people are utterly incapable of admitting they lied/were wrong. They just can't do it.

My wife was on the sofa with dog lying on her all morning. You are a liar. Please return keys asap or I will be at the vets on Monday to collect them.
