How to deal with damage to your home while sitting a dog?
I am sitting a dog right now who has destroyed 2 of my dog beds. I asked the owner to bring his bed but she showed up without it. He destroyed a $40 dog bed on his first night and a cheaper bed last night. It is hard to believe that Rover will only cover damages when I am traveling sitting rather than in my home. I have this dog for 7 more days and am out of beds! ---update--- After sleepless nights and more destroyed property I called Rover to have the dog re-homed. The owner promised that she would cover some of my losses however (no big surprise) have not heard from her. Read the comments on this thread, take Isabella's advice, have owners sign a 'contract' when they drop of their dog(s).
i just finished with the worst not dog, but owner. This doberman has a peeing problem. peed on my couch twice, once while sitting with me. When it first happened i even offered to take her to the vet i think she has a bladder problem. no he said. She also peed twice on an expensive mattress,
I am sitting a husky right now and he jumped through my bedroom window while I went to the bathroom and let him outback to go potty and broke my whole screen and scratched my whole wooden door damaging it completely and I told the owner and all she said was hopefully the rest of the stay is
Uneventful and he’s never don’t something like this before he’s been watched by sitters before like girl I don’t care if he’s done this before he did it now I’ve never had this issue and I’ve been sitting for river for more than a year I don’t know how to approach the situation without getting upset
Because she should pay for the damages I rent here I don’t own this home. If not I will have to replace both the screen and door myself and it’s not even my dog. Help what should I do
