Pet care experience

I have started dog sitting for dogs 3 years ago it's a wonderful experience. I still have the first dog I ever dog sit the owner coudnt take care of him. So I also have a trained dog that cares for dogs with me to so the other dogs see the example of my skills through my dog Murphy. I'm a fun loving women who loves dogs making sure their cared have fun doing it.

Crystal was very polite and sweet. She came to my house three times to feed/let my dog out and even brushed her! She was very reliable and on time, she was also really good at communicating and let me know everyone she was on her way to my house and when she was leaving.

Crystal is great with animals but she's an idiot. I don't even know what she used but she somehow stained both of my toilet seats blue so now they have to be replaced. She also brought her entire household's laundry to my house to wash while I was on vacation 16 loads worth. The problem with being stupid is you don't pay attention to things like the Wi-Fi symbol that lets you know that my washing machine hooks up to an app and tells me when it's been ran. And no I'm not done, there were bottles, multiple, and cans. Now while she states that these liquor bottles were mostly empty when she brought them that doesn't negate beer cans in the trash. I have nothing against drinking but I was only gone for 5 days there's no way you needed several shots of liquor and multiple beer cans while you were staying in my home with your minor. I see the minor walking my dog regularly on my cameras would love to hire the minor. Most of the food in my house that was eaten soon as we think that a child would cook so either they both really like Ramen, pancake, and chicken nuggets or the daughter was the one predominantly cooking ( i do have liability concerns as to if the daughter was the only person in my home more often then not) . And icing on the cake is that for some reason they kept turning my thermostat so high up that they were setting off my temperature sensors for my security system and I actually had to spend money to get on Wi-Fi to tell them that my house shouldn't be 80°. And even though I have a whole guest bedroom they kept sleeping on my sofas. I would not recommend anyone booking with Rover as it doesn't appear that they actually vet their clients and on top of that if you have an issue they will do nothing to solve it you were supposed to communicate with the dog sitter which is really hard if the dog sitter and lacks the intelligence to say I apologize how can I make this right. And ANYONE familiar with animals knows dogs can't have cooked chicken bones, so now I have to watch for intestinal issues since she gave my dog a cooked chicken wing. On top of that I can't tell how often my dog was walked but it does appear that she was walked once or twice a day total which doesn't make sense because why am I paying you to be at home with my animal if you're not actually going to take her outside regularly. All of these employees are supposedly independent contractors.
