AIBU to expect my doggy daycare lady not to leave the dogs alone and go out

[ThisIsStartingToBoreMe]

Genuine question. I was filling in for someone on Friday and doing care at the house all day for the live-in carer to have a day off. The client needs to be hoisted into and out of bed at the beginning and end of each day and this needs 2 carers so another carer comes to help the live in carer.

To my surprise, the carer who comes to do the hoisting is the carer who provides doggy daycare for me. I know no-one else is there looking after the animals.

AIBU to think she shouldn't be doing this?

you need to ask her aswell for all your money back - shes a cheeky fuck!! Your dog could just be at home!

you also need to report her -

Surely if the people paying her were happy for their dogs to be alone in a house they’d cut out the middleman and just leave them in their own home.

I was embarrassed for her, I didn't know what on earth to say. so i said nothing about it.

How about "who the fuck is looking after my dog while you neglect him & defraud me?"

that say it all for me

I have a dogsitter who has been coming to my home for a full day every week recently. She asked if it was ok to leave the dog for an hour or two sometimes if she had another drop-in client or a dog to walk. I said that was completely fine. But that’s my dog being left alone, in his own home, where he is fine to be left. I would NOT be ok with someone else leaving him unsupervised in their home with other dogs there, and I’d be especially furious if they did that without even asking me, and while giving me the impression that the dogs were going to be fully supervised all day.

Have you seen the inside of this woman’s home? I wonder if she is crating the dogs to keep them separate while she goes out?

Not OK at all and I’d be asking her to explain how she is caring for the dogs when she is leaving her home for other jobs.

I looked at a daycare for my dog which seemed nice on the surface. But the dogs were supposedly picked up around 8am and dropped home around 4pm, all by one guy who ran the place single handedly. We had some concerns about how this all worked given that he seemed to cover a very wide area and said that he looked after up to 12 dogs at a time, so we decided to pass. A few months later we met someone else who had used him and they said their dog wasn’t picked up until 11am every day. Meaning that some of the dogs must have been spending several hours in his car in the morning, and then the same again every afternoon! Not exactly what we had in mind for our dog when we were looking for daycare.
