Dealing with overbearing owner wanting to chat on phone everyday, what do I do?
So I'm watching a dog and have been for over a week. The owner is very overbearing, texting me and calling me every day asking how her dog is and requesting pics. She even send her dad over to her house one day to check on the dog! Good thing I wasn't there. I told her I didn't feel comfortable with her dad just popping over whenever as I could be walking around in my pjs, my husband could be over or I could be in the shower and it would just be super awkward.
Anyways, I feel like I can't have a life of my own because she wants to know what I'm doing every minute of every day and she is the last person I talk to before bed and she is already texting me in the morning to ask how her dog is doing. I even told her I'm feeling really sick and just want to go over there after work and rest and she said she still was going to call me! After I was on the phone with her last night for 30 min! I don't want to be mean but this is ridiculous. I feel bad for ever leaving the house to go see my own dog and husband because she expects me there 24/7! And I have a daytime job!
Any suggestions? I don't want to make her mad because I really don't want a bad review but I have really gone out of my way with this owner and the money she is paying me is so not worth it. I will never watch this dog again but how do I get through the rest of my job?! I also had to come over 2 days earlier at the last minute because she changed her flight and I haven't been paid for that yet. Another reason I don't want to make her mad.
When she calls and I don't answer the phone, she freaks out and thinks something is wrong and keeps calling!!!
