Dogwalker busted not walking the dog

Our dogwalker coming in, (late at times), not walking the dog, taking payment, and leaving.

This is not an advertisement for any business, nor am I identifying the person. We had a neighbor who came by after to let Shaka out. As for why this happened twice, we needed to confront the dogwalker in person about the incident. Also, the other 2 days a week, the girl seemed to walk the dog. It was very puzzling why she showed up, the hardest part, but didn't walk the dog who doesn't want to do much but go out and pee.

I'm a professional pet sitter and this woman makes me so mad! I pride myself on making sure ALL the animals in my care get treated the best and as close to what they are used to as possible. I ENJOY spending time with them and walking them... that's one of the reasons I'm in this business! The vast majority of PROFESSIONALS are reliable and responsible.... she is nothing more than a lazy liar who is in it to "make easy money" . She needs to leave it to real professionals and find another biz!

@lily1013 She wasn't a professional. We were new to the neighborhood and were looking for a local neighbor. She worked nearby, and had no problems for at least a year that we know of. But she decided that the extra 2 minutes we needed was too much for her. (Our dog is lazy, he's a bulldog. He wants out, in and be done.)

We have a great neighbor now who handles things for us as needed.

IF I was a dog walker. I wouldn't care if they videoed me since I would always try to do a good job. It would just prove I was doing a good job for their beloved pet. :-)

@HappyComfort Thats always good to know :)

I think I might know the dog walker in question. Was this from MD? My ex was/is a dogwalker and did this kind of stuff a lot. She'd brag about what a good job she did, but then complain about being rushed and cut appointments short and skip some. I think this kind of problem is endemic to this profession. There's a lot of trust given by the customer and very little oversight unless you use a something like this solution.

[dkreifus]

No, sorry. Not from MD.

sorry you and your dog had to experience a dishonest dogwalker :-( esp. @ christmas time :-( double boo! ...hope you have better experiences today! glad you had your cam set up!

[lily1013]

@dkreifus Sorry you had to deal with someone like that. Totally irks me that someone you put trust in has no problem taking your money and doesn't do what they promised. Felt bad for your poor dog who just wanted to pee. Good that you have someone reliable now tho! :)
