Has anyone been sitting for a house with no working shower?

So I am dog sitting and the owner tells me the shower doesn’t work and they don’t have the money to fix it. So I have to take showers at my own place which is only like a 10-15 min drive. Has anyone had a similar situation? They also purposely did not include the cat and only told me the day of which I did not see or ask about in the meet in greet, also did not ask about shower since I assumed the shower would work.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. 10-15min isn't awful, and they did warn you ahead of time.

The cat, I would take issue with if you would also be taking care of that. Have you told them your dissatisfaction regarding the lack of information?

I haven’t been in that exact situation. For housesitting assignments less than a 15 minute drive though, it would not bother me & would be more convenient to shower at home with all my own stuff. On the other hand, if they expected me to care for the cat, I’d let them know that I’d modify the booking and send it for their approval. However if they can’t afford to repair a non functioning shower, I’d guess that is not going to happen.
