Am I mean and selfish for feeling like this about attending to my sisters dog

Hi
I live next door to my sister and she frequently asks me to let her dog out whenever she is at work or if she goes out.

The problem is that it is not house trained at all.
When left it poos and wees all over the hall floor.
Alot of the time when I go to let it out I walk in on puddles of wee and poo.
I can honestly say I hate attending to it these days.
Cleaning up the mess makes me heave.
I do not have a dog myself and have no desire for one at all as I would hate to have to clean this sort of mess up.

I honestly don,t see why I should have to sort out someone else's dog in this way.
However I don,t have the heart to tell her I don,t want to be doing this in case I appear really selfish.

Sometimes I wish I had never moved next door
the only reason for that was because I had always liked my sisters style of house and area and a house came up at the right time.

I realise some of you are probably dog lovers on here and would put up with anything but be honest with me if you was me would you feel as I do.

It sounds to me like the dog is using the hall as its toilet area. that may sound like I am stating the obvious but a dog won't soil its sleeping area (unless it has a medical problem) so actually confining the dog to a smaller space she should find less/ no mess. To solve the problem your sister will need to get rid o the smell completly, using bicarb of soda after cleaning is good, if you don't completly remove the smell the dog will return to the same place to soil. How often is the dog left for more than 4 hours?
