Dog-Sitter Does ‘Insane Amount’ Of Laundry At Client’s Home Without Realizing The Owner Gets Notified Each Time It’s Done

Agreed. I mean a load or 2 would be fine but 9 in 3 days? No that's too much. Also the sitter should have at least asked beforehand.

They literally stole her car.....lmfao.....she never gave permission to use the car nor even told her where the car keys are. She probably even drove it with the spare after she went rummaging through drawers. That is NOT a petty little problem lol.

Because you never mentioned you had a washer and dryer, she should not have used those facilities. Leaving the garage door open, was inconsiderate and could have been life-threatening for your cat. Using your vehicle, is blatant theft.

I've seen new Free Bleeders needing to do tons of laundry until they get the hang of it.

It doesn't matter. The OP hired her to take care of the pets, NOT damage the house, use her machines, and leave the back door open so anyone could just wander in and clean her out.

Either that or she is a Free Bleeder...

Driving my car without permission would be it for me. She wouldn't be coming back and she wouldn't get a good review.

This is an insightful comment. A pet sitter most likely isn't in a strong financial position and the most important thing is that the pets are treated well. I would ask that the lint be cleaned, better recycling sorting, and the doors be checked, etc ... but otherwise not worry about. A little bit of charity and kindness to make a huge difference to someone struggling financially. The only concern I have is using the car, which I think crosses the line, at least for me, because of liability issues.

Okay but they key difference here is that YOU ASKED.....they didn't.... they literally committed grand theft auto.....nobody told her she could use the car?!?!.....nor was it anywhere in the instructions........

I'm the friend in my friend group with access to a washer/dryer. My two best friends live in an apartment with a communal washroom that closes at 6pm on weekdays (when they're both at work) so they often go weeks without a chance to wash their clothes. They've definitely asked if they can bring a load with to wash while we're hanging out. I always agree, since they're my friends. But also because I'd had my own struggles getting my clothes washed before, while in college. So, I respect the very real need she could have to use a washers/drier. I can even understand her not asking, cause depending on her culture/upbringing it might have felt implied. Like taking a shower, or using the internet, something that just comes with the job. My issues comes with her using the washer 9+ times in the week. Since it shows inconsideration for the owers water bill, if nothing else.

Even though it was your best friend you were responsible enough to ask, and the thing about the laundry is yeah it’s expensive to do laundry especially if you’re living in the West Coast area because of the droughts but the lint trap thing could’ve caused a fire in his home and he said it was a brand new washer and dryer so it could also damage the dryer, but you as an adult knew to ask, she didn’t even give this person the adult version of what she should be.
