I'm very uncomfortable with my visit because of a camera/owner behavior, how should I proceed?
I am currently in the middle of an overnight service with a client. Though our meet and greet went well and we also had a dog walk that went with no issues and the owners appeared to be very trusting of me, when I went to sit the dogs I noted a very large camera. This was not disclosed to me prior, and though I genuinely do not mind cameras in the home this one in particular was pointed directly where the sitter asked me to sleep, which made me very uncomfortable.
The sitting was going well, but I had to go back to my own home to eat dinner and let my own dog out. The owner then used this moment to tell me she knew I wasn't there and that I was not meeting her expectations. I explained my own situation but she did not appear to be appeased.
I later asked about the camera and if I could point it away from me while I slept, she told me this was fine, but when I woke up the next day the camera had readjusted itself and was pointing at me yet again...
I also wanted to ensure total transparency with this owner and told her what times I would be out of the home in hopes it would alleviate her stress. It did not. She seems beyond frustrated with me and now I'm very uncomfortable as a whole with how things are going with this client. I have been nothing but honest and clear with how things work with clients in the past and I have never had a negative client experience.
I'm simply feeling a little lost at this moment and would love to see how other sitters would handle this situation. Any kind advice is greatly appreciated, especially considering I have another booking with this client next week as well.
Cancel the booking. Report to Rover. Do not respond if she contacts you again. Block her texts
