Lauren was great! Thank you so much!

Overall the worst dog sitter I ever found on Rover. After asking how the dogs were doing she was wondering why one of the dogs wasn’t eating breakfast at which point I had to remind her that only one of the dogs ate twice a day the others were feed only at night. She arrived way past the decided start time and left early. Only got updates after probing. We weren’t even told one the dogs was sick until after I inquired how they were doing. Found a pile of poop and large urine stain on my nice rug that hadn’t even been attempted to be cleaned up. The dogs she watched are potty trained and do not go to the bathroom in the house. I can only guess she was away from them for long periods of time for that to happen. Worst part is that I don’t even know how much time she spent at the house. I talked to my neighbors after I returned home who told me that they rarely saw her car parked at my house. My neighbor even introduced herself to my dog sitter and offered to provide her phone number in case anything happened or she needed her to let the dogs out. She declined the number. There was also the fact that there was basically no dog hair in the guest bedroom or guest bed but wads of it in the hallway. Apparently the dog sitter told me the dogs did not stay in the room with her but she left the bedroom door open for them. My youngest dog has slept in bed with every dog sitter I have ever had. I gather by the large amount of hair she closed the door and the dogs waited for her in the upstairs hallway. She then called me towards the end of my vacation letting me know that one of the dogs locked herself in my bedroom. Apparently she went into my bathroom to look for a band aid and the dog locked herself in by mistake. This dog has very stubby legs and would have a very hard time locking the door. Apparently when she woke up and couldn’t find the dog she discovered she locked herself inside overnight. I have a hard time believing that story since the dog chewed the crown molding around the door frame a ripped up carpet in attempt to escape. There is no way the dog sitter would not have heard that if she was sleeping in a room two doors down with the door open. Before attempting the chew her way out there is zero chance the dog wouldn’t be barking to be let out. My guess is that she accidentally closed the dog in the room and left the house for a period of time. Assuming she was actually home the fact that she would not be able to hear a dog in distress is concerning. On top of that she didn’t even tell me about the dog destroying my door and molding. I came home to find wood chipping sand carpet all over. On the plus side I came home to three living dogs.
