Dog Sitting

AIBU? I don’t want to look after other people’s dogs when they go on holiday. I love my own dogs but I don’t want to look after other people’s. I think it’s a cheek and I always seem to get landed with them

You could charge? Seriously, I look after a friend’s dog overnight quite regularly, mates rates, ten quid a night.

“The vet has advised me to not have other dogs over for a few months as DDog is showing signs of anxiety and stress from sharing their space. So no dog sitting for the time being. I did see a link to a dog sitter the other day, it looked reasonably priced.”

I agree with everything you have all said. When we go away, we have a reciprocal agreement with a family member and it works really well. I am just too soft

Then don't. Simple. As long as you don't expect other people to look after yours.
