What do I do about aggression?

Okay so I have a wonderful dog in my care at the moment, the meet and greet went as fabulous as it could go and my dog got along with her so well. Now the dog is starting to show teeth when my dog walks by her, he hasn't done anything to provoke her in any way. How should I act about this? I don't want her to have an uncomfortable stay but I don't want my dog to feel uncomfortable in his own home?

Also call Rover ASAP on the emergency line. Have the dog picked up and sent to another sitter immediately- it’s not a bad mark on you. But if you’re fearful the dog will also become more fearful as they need pack leader, which causes anxiety then attacking is eminent Rover will help you!

Sounds like the dog is stressed. I have had this happen. Keep the dog separated and let the owners know. I do take them on walks together without issue but if you do, use caution and be alert. A dog like this would do well with a sitter that takes only 1 dog at a time and doesn't have dogs of their own. Use caution to keep this pup separated from the other dogs for safety. When the owner comes to pick up, let them know that you won't be able to take the pup again and recommend rover match. Do say some positive things about the dog. Also, when you send a rover review, be honest about the issues and note that this dog needs to be with a 1 dog family at a time. Good luck!
