Dog sitting, is she a CF?

My cousin asked me to dog sit months ago. I said I guess I would but I'm fairly busy. She said her mum would help out walking the dog so I agreed.
I live with my mum while I save for a deposit on a house so I thought it'd be a chance to have a break from each other even though we get on well. I'll still pay her rent as it is cheap and she still has all the bills to pay.

I've just turned up at my cousin's and she's left me a loaf of bread, a pint of milk and a bloody box of chocolates to eat. Nothing else no cheese, ham, salad stuff, potatoes nothing. The fridge is empty as is the freezer. I'm bloody annoyed I'm going to have to go out and buy a weeks worth of food so while saving my cousin over a £100 it's going to cost me at least £50!

Àibu to expect if you're dog sitting for free they should at least leave you food? She's even told me where the vac is so I'll clean for her!

Of course you would leave food for someone who is staying at your house for a week and doing you a favour. Doesn't have to be gourmet or expensive but basic manners to make sure your sitter could eat.

IRL it would be a normal expectation

Still wondering why your mum can't come and drop off your food?

Didn't you pay your mum for your food OP? Can't you ask your mum to drop your share of your food off for you? You have already paid for your food. There's no need to pay it twice.

Paying her gas and electric is a massive piss take!
I've done it in the past. Bought my food and tidied up, done the washing etc. Fine.
Why should you pay for utilities when her pet is staying home?
YANBU, not at all.
