🐾 The Dog Ate My Welcome Guide: Tales from the House-Sitting Trenches
Share
Leaving your home and beloved pets in someone else's care can be nerve-wracking. We've all heard the horror stories: the sitter who mistook your prized whiskey for a welcome gift, or the one who thought "twice daily feeding" meant doubling the portions. At Housepawty, we understand these concerns because we've lived them.
📖 The Unread Welcome Manual
You spent hours crafting a detailed guide: feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions, even the quirks of your coffee machine. Yet, you return to find your dog has gained 20% of his body weight because the sitter thought "twice daily" referred to double portions. It's not just frustrating - it's unhealthy for your pet.
🥩 The Case of the Vanishing Steak
You left a few steaks in the freezer for a special occasion. Upon return, they're gone, and your sitter casually mentions how delicious they were. While some might see this as a perk of the job, you see it as a breach of trust.
🧹 The Cleanliness Conundrum
You left your home spotless, expecting to return to the same. Instead, you find unwashed dishes, a mysterious stain on the carpet, and your once-white couch now a shade of beige. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and clearly, your sitter missed that memo.
🐕 The Overzealous Dog Walker
Your dog enjoys a leisurely 30-minute walk. The sitter, aiming to impress, takes him on a 5-mile hike daily. Now, your pup is limping, and the vet bill is on you.
🏠 The Unauthorized Renovator
You come home to find your furniture rearranged, walls painted a new color, and a hammock installed in the living room. While the sitter claims it "brings good vibes," you feel like a stranger in your own home.
