What do I do if the dog I am housesitting keeps peeing in the house no matter how much I take him outside?
I am housesitting a senior dog, he is 12.5 years old. The owner told me that he was house trained during our meet and greet. The first day I got to the house, the owner left me a note including basic instructions that we went over in the meet and greet. The owner also mentioned in the note that he had a few accidents in the house prior to their departure. Since I have been housesitting, the dog has peed inside everyday, no matter how often I let him out or walk him. And to clarify, he does go to the bathroom every time I've walked him or let him outside in the yard. I've tried removing his water bowl at night and for a few hours while I got to work. I've been leaving the door open to the backyard while I am at the house. I've been waking up early and staying up later to take him on walks. I left for two hours earlier, after he peed three times on a walk, and I came back to more pee on the floor. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? I already agreed to housesitting this dog next week, but I don't know if I can handle this.
