Dog Walking Client, damages carpet?
I have been walking this particular dog for about 2 months now and he's been absolutely perfect. He's not crated in his home and he is always just lounging around when I get there. However, today when I entered the home I saw that he basically ate a hole through their carpet near the kitchen. I notified the owner and asked if I should crate him (crating with this dog has never been discussed). She did not respond in a timely manner, so I left him out thinking if he was anxious in his crate, the lesser of the two evils would be damaged carpet instead of a damaged dog. When owner got back to me she was in disbelief that he did this damage.
No further conversation has occurred, and I'm doubting she is upset at me. However, I'd like to know how other sitters would handle this situation. Thanks!
