answered a question Anyone experience untruthfulness regarding potty training and/or marking?
I’d like to have an answer for our situation.

I often see answers of “make sure to let the dogs out enough, for a long enough duration“, but we usually let the dogs out in the backyard, or take them for a walk, every couple of hours, and at least 20 minutes each. PLENTY of time for them to empty their bladders.

Yet males AND females, always come back in the house and pee. Several spots, throughout the day. It’s causing lots of tension in the house and stress.

I understand that the OCCASIONAL dog will pee as it’s a new place. Usually once. Maybe twice.

But dogs we have watched several times before, will pee all the time, everywhere.

We are very caring and loving. We do not yell at them. We don’t do anything that scares them.

We clean old pee spots up with enzyme remover and they still smell the old spots, as well as create new spots.

We don’t want to stop pet-sitting. As we need the income and we love animals. But this makes absolutely no sense to us that we let them out plenty, and they are familiar with our house, especially if they are repeat clients, yet they still Pee everywhere. Sometimes, the more we watch them, the more it seems they pee.


I see lots of people are saying to get doggie diapers, but wouldn’t this only work for males? Males AND females are peeing all over our house. As well as we often take photos and videos of the dogs we are watching, so the owners know that they are doing fine, and we don’t want them to see diapers on them and get upset with us. But it would be a pain in the butt to take them off every time we were going to take a photo or video, and then put them back on.

answered a question What should I do with potty accidents 15x a day?

I would like to know the answer to this too.

A lot of answers are really general and they only cover a small portion of options. Most answers are assuming this is the first time a dog is at a new place, & people are assuming the dogs are not going out enough.

What about when it’s a place that the dogs have been to several times before? What about when the dogs get let out every two hours, for at least 20 minutes? They should have completely emptied their bladders by then, but there are plenty of dogs that we watch, that we let out plenty of times, for a long enough duration, yet they still come back in and Pee. ( especially male dogs that mark their territory, we will find upwards of 10 + pee spots all over)

We have cleaned up spots with the enzyme remover and we have sprayed anti-potty spray. They still seem to go everywhere.

Again, I understand it comes with The “territory” of being a pet sitter. But when you’re doing everything you can to let them out enough, and keep the house clean & free of Pee smell, so other dogs don’t go, it gets really confusing on WHY the dogs keep going in the house.
