3.5

When I met with Bailee I explained to her that the dogs were very afraid of everyone and everything and asked her to come by a few times to meet and interact with them so they could get used to her. She came by twice and spent a few minutes giving them treats but not interacting with them otherwise. Although she assured me she would be able to handle them I probably should have decided against her but I didn’t. I asked her to definitely come by the Mon and Thurs before we left to give them more time with her. She texted and said she couldn’t come by because she had to work and then pick up her sister from school. I informed her that she could come by in the evenings – no show. These dogs bark at anyone and anything strange to them. Because they didn’t get to know Bailee they spent their time barking at her whenever she was around. Instead of trying to relate to them she sat on the loveseat trying to coax them with treats but not talking to them. It also looked to me like she was afraid of them and avoided them as much as possible. Coming in with her sister/friend made the dogs even more scared but at least the others tried to talk to them and calm them down while Bailee took little action. I understand how frustrating the dogs were but I really thought Bailee would spend more time with them and try to relate to them. The time they spent outside to do their business after 7:30 am on Fri, 11-7-25 until 10:45 am on Sun 11-9-25 amounted to approx. 3- ½ hrs - 3 min between 7:30 am Fri to 8:53 am Sat and were left outside from 2:30 pm until 5:45 pm Sat. After that they were not let out. With the amount of money I paid for a weekend sitting job, I feel there should have been more time and attempted interaction than what occurred. In my opinion Bailee needs more time with tamer dogs before trying to sit with scared, nervous, yappy dogs.

Took amazing care of our doggies and house. Calmed my anxiety big time. Thank you so much Bailee!!
