I went on work trip about a week ago and I hired a dog sitter to watch my dog and she lost my dog like halfway through and didn’t tell me. Luckily a stranger found him, took him to the vet, and got my info and called me and I flew back in to get him. I called the lady and told her off, then a few hours later her boyfriend calls and wants to try to “meet me” to give me back my dogs stuff lol. I told him he can keep it and he can come find me. Now I basically have a mortal enemy somewhere in town that will probably shoot me if ever sees me again :guysip:

I’m para phrasing most of the story because I didn’t want to write a book but basically it was my dogs first time being boarded and he also is a rescue dog with past abuse. She had one job and was getting paid a lot to do it smh. He could have became lost forever or worse. Only thing that saved him was his rabies tag which had my vets number on it. Not microchipped or anything, so I’m pretty lucky to get him back

jadetiger-51

hol on, what kinda dog stuff.

jadetiger-51

like the leash?

amberyellow-59 OP

I told him he can come find me if he really wants to, it was basically just some of my dogs toys and his food storage box which is like $60 of stuff so not that big of a deal

jadetiger-51

cause I'm assuming whatever you lost was expensive.

jadetiger-51

ahh.

amberyellow-59 OP

His leash was chewed in half cause lady was neglecting him and left him outside tied up I think

jadetiger-51

if you still have the evidence, you could prob report the chick to the police for animal abuse.

amberyellow-59 OP

That’s how he got lost

jadetiger-51

it'd be funny.

amberyellow-59 OP

I tried already they don’t care

amberyellow-59 OP

amberyellow-59 OP

I was going to try to get her in legal trouble but none of the agencies care or do their jobs which is not surprising

This reminds me of a TikTok I saw of a girl who hired a catsitter and the sitter left the front door open all night and the fucking cat obviously left and was missing for 2 days before the sitter texted the owner.
Owner ended up coming back from her trip early to try and find the cat but unfortunately they found the cat’s remains bc it was killed by a coyote

I did but she was apparently like a witch lady or something. We met before I accepted and she seemed responsible and we went over what he would need, she was living in a nice like 400-500k house, which I found out later was actually her grandmas. She was just an evil lady or something idk, only in it for the money. I’m in the process of getting her kicked off the dog sitting app that I used to book it

amberyellow-59 OP

Nah this dude would def be packing heat if I asked to meet after the phone call we had lol

Make sure that you have control of the situation you'll be in if you decide to get the $60's worth. Even if he brings a gun/weapon, he shouldn't be able to use it. If you need to prepare, then prepare. No such thing as being underprepared, right?

zestyheron-77

I agree with this guy's message and suggestion specifically.

zestyheron-77

Also, "how does one even get in this mess?"

zestyheron-77

It'll be fine as long as you can see things through.

zestyheron-77

That's my two cents for now anyway

@zestyheron-77 Also, "how does one even get in this mess?"

Bad luck
