Redditor Threatens To Kennel The Dogs She Watches Over After The Pets' Parent Underpaid Her
Pet sitting is the process of temporarily looking after someone else’s animal for a predetermined period of time. Pet sitting typically happens at the pet owner’s house, but it can also happen at the provider’s house or a pet sitting establishment.
Pet sitting entails taking care of someone’s animal while they are away. Some pet sitters only work with people who own cats and dogs.
Others can add other animals like birds, fish, tiny mammals, reptiles, and amphibians to their list. Numerous pet sitters run a regular dog walking business and provide pet sitting services as needed when clients travel or have somewhere to be.
Some pet sitters appoint additional staff members to broaden their service area, boost the number of clients they can serve each week, and serve as a fallback in case they become sick or leave on vacation. Additionally, they can increase their income by starting a franchise and granting licenses to pet-sitting service providers to use their well-known brand name.
As earlier mentioned, pet sitters typically care for animals in either their own houses or the owners’ residences. The Redditor in today’s story was to dog sit at the owner’s house, but things went south after the dog owner shorted her pay.
