i went on vacation for a week and i left my furbaby with a baby sitter i know this person for atleast two years.and that's her job she's a dog walker and she also babysits dogs.anyway i came back from vacation on sunday and i noticed that my furbaby hasn't been eating so i got a little worry so i called her and asked her if my furbaby was eating good that week she had him and she told me yes.and i asked her if she fed him the food i gave her for him and she told me no that she was giving him iams so i got so angry at her and i told her a few nasty words .and she had the nerves to tell me that her feeding every dog different food is a waist of her time that she had five dogs to take care of .so i told her that's why we pay you so that you do what we say.and i also gave her a to do list is not like she didn't know what to do.i can't believe the nurve of some people.this is a lesson for me i will never leave my furbaby behind.

I would be furious! She shouldn't be pet sitting if she can't take care of them properly.

lovespandp · 08-18-2009, 09:42 AM

Well I guess look at the bright side..You are home with your baby now!! At least nothing major happened!!

Marissa101 · 08-18-2009, 09:45 AM

If you pay her why would she be so lazy? At least no more serious injurys happened.

I agree; how rude and arrogant of her to treat you, and not to mention your baby, that way!

I'm sorry to hear of your experience. I hate to go away, because I hate to leave my furbaby. I am very fortunate, though, that I have someone good to take care of her. My groomer also raises and shows Yorkies. She will watch them in her home. They are not kept in cages, and are loved. Lexi slept on the bed with her daughter. She had her own special spot on a love seat and a little bed in the room where she spent some of her time. She was loved, and best of all, I had her groomed the day I was to arrive home, so I picked up a just-groomed dog! She is on Long Island - maybe too far for you? She is also a YT member.

That would have made me mad too. Changing food like that was enough to make your baby sick. I have even mixed old with new brand and had their little systems get upset. Be glad you found out and never use her again. Glad your baby was okay.

smartpuppiepets · 08-18-2009, 12:12 PM

Unfortunately it is very common for boarding places to feed the same food to every dog they board. If i can say one thing in her defense , at least she was honest about it. Believe me, a lot of places will do it and not even tell you. Some places do not take dogs that require special diets or special feedings, not even dogs that feed wet food, raw diets or anything that mean a little more attention on feeding time. At least you have your baby safe at home. Unfortunately it is not easy to find a trustworthy place to take care of your little one. Give her credit for having kept your baby safe. I hope you 2 make amendments. 2 years that you know this person, even if you decide never to bring your yorkie for her again. It is better to be in peace.

That is unbelievable!! That is why we always take Prince with us, or he stays with Grandma. Is there a site where you can post what happened to you, so no one else has to go thru the same thing?
I'm glad your baby is ok.

sdasaro · 08-18-2009, 12:31 PM

Hello there Mama

I have given up on finding a good yorkie groomer in my area. I am in Massapequa, where about is this person? Actually I have been self grooming and enjoying both the quality time together and the outcome. As a haircutter I do have an advantage over most though. Let me know please.

That is the best arrangement EVER !!! Family is different and they care different. I do offer to dog sit my puppies when they get adopted. But just in case i do educate everyone about the boarding places and how they work.
You are so very right about choosing a family member to care for your yorkies.

XOXO

RachelandSadie · 08-18-2009, 12:52 PM

wow i would be livid, i think we're going to have a hard time with boarding, she's on a raw diet that must be kept cold and i make it, i can easily bring some with us when she's going too, and store it in the fridge or cooler and feed her, but for boarding they won't do that, they only feed dry...i guess i might just have to leave her with the royal canin that i free feed to her when i can't be home all day.

hmm....scary

LilMissy · 08-18-2009, 01:12 PM

Yeah that wouldn't wash with me at all. What if your dog had allergies or foot intolerances? And IAMS? YUCk!

shiver · 08-18-2009, 04:31 PM

when i spoke to her she told me that it wont be a problem me bringing my furbaby's his own food so i took her word for it .if it was such a problem she should had told me when i asked her.
