The dog pees in their house as well. When I picked him up I looked around and I could see pee on the corners of doors and table legs. :( I reached out to the client again and did not get any help so unfortunately it will spend most of its time in a crate.

I received a request to schedule a meet and greet for a family to watch their dog. However they do not want to bring their dog to it.. I am unsure of why. I have had tons of meet and greets and the dog is always there.. since that is the point of it. I checked into their profile and they have booked other sitters on the site but I feel like this is some sort of scam or something. Has anyone else experienced this? I am thinking of canceling the meet and greet since something seems off.

When I have new daycares I always crate them while I am gone. For clients I have had before and feel comfortable with I leave the dog out to play with mine. I wouldn't ever bring a daycare to a dog you are walking. I also don't feel it is necessary to inform the client when you leave your home unless it is for an extended period of time. Most owners know you have things going on and will have to step out at some point.

I am in the same boat as you right now... I have had most behaviors come out during meet and greets and have been able to deny the client then. This time I did the meet and greet and it went well but the dog started marking in my house, on my furniture and even tried to mark my dogs and cat.. I brought it up with the owner and they didn't really seem to care. What I am doing now is just crating the dog all day and giving it breaks out side and then putting it back in the crate immediately. In my experience some people are just going to lie unfortunately. Can you crate the dog or shorten the booking?

I am currently doing daycare for a two year old dog. I met with the owner and the dog at their house because I am picking him up and dropping him off each day. The meet and greet went fine, the dog is small and tried to hump my leg. I made a joke about it and the owner said he doesn't hump he is just holding on to my leg... obviously not the case but it wasn't a big deal at all.

When I brought the dog to my house first day everything was fine, got a long great with my dogs and had no accidents. Second day came and the dog marked in my house six times in 30 minutes. The dog is male and isn't fixed. I contacted the owner to let them know I was having issues and may not be able to keep him for the rest of the day care booking. The owner apologized and said he never pees at their house etc. I had to crate him most of the day because the moment I let him out he would go and pee on my furniture.

I am on day three and the dog again tried to mark so he had to spend most of the day outside and in the crate. This day he started humping my female dog and pinning her into a corner and making her cry because she was scared. I immediately took the dog home and put it in his crate and noticed there was dog pee on a lot of their stuff.

The owner wants me to continue the booking but I do not want to and am unsure of what to do. I feel the owner was aware of these problems and hid them from me. I tried discussing it with them and they are dismissive. It is at the point to were my dogs are upset now and that isn't fair to them. If you were in my situation would you cancel the rest of the booking or should I keep him crated and outside at my house?
