| My dogs are a Petsitters worst nightmare! For the second time this girl has come over to give my girls a potty break while we were gone on a day trip, Moka has peed on her. She even came by to get acquainted. I think Moka is just trying to earn the girl a few extra $$$$ but she's not going about that the right way! Moka won't go out with Mylee when she is there, so she picks her up to carry her out and that's when she pees on the poor girl. This is my dog who never ever ever has accidents in the house. What can I do to help her get over her fear so I don't run off this girl?

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | i would have her come and spend more time when you are home. So she gets comfortable with the girl. May cost a little more in the beggining but will make for a happy dog in the end

| I agree with the last poster. it sounds like she's having a nervous pee, unless the dog walker is picking her up at the bladder site. Have her show you how she picks her up because she could be pressing on her bladder and the poor thing cant hold it. Has she tried putting a lead on her and walking her out? |

| That's what I guess baffles me. This is a neighborhood girl who has been over and sits on my floor to play with Moka on several occasions and Moka is ok with it. She also has small dogs and knows how to handle them. These are the reasons I like this girl. It's not like she is just a random neighborhood kid. I feel so bad, I don't think it's a nervous pee, I think its a scared for my life pee.

| Does she give her treats? That may help, other then that if you like the girl I would pay her extra just to keep her.

| Maybe on one of the days you could stop by and watch her... Signaling to your baby that it's OK? Perhaps the sitter coming to your home when no one else is around is threatening to her. |

| I think that is it too. It's different when you are home. It doesn't seem right to her when she's being taking out by someone else. I think it will be ok over a little time.

| That is so strange. When my mom would come over to let Shanti out she would run around a hold it an hour with ny mom begging her to potty. Furbabies are a strange lot lol

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | i would still have the girl pick her up and take her out while you are there to see if it happens. that is where i would start at least. Another thing that may help is have her give her a treat when she picks her up that way she would be worried about that and not peeing. Just get her mind off of why she is there.

| You have given me some great things to consider. It has to be something about her comeing into the house expecting us only to have it be someone else. I feel so bad that she is that scared. Moka is very well socialized. I take her with me on walks, and in the car and we take every opportunity to greet a willing person. At least she doesn't fear bite, and the poor girl is good natured about it.

| hahahah! I have an idea, let Moka sit on the petsitter only if her pee pad is underneath. Hahhaha. Sorry, I know I'm not helping

| I have a dog who pees when he is nervous/excited/mad/glad- you get the idea- he has peed on my sitter before! I warned her ahead of time and she is beyond wonderful with them so she never gets mad at anything. I literally would never be able to leave my house if she stopped sitting. So anyway- lol- I feel your pain.

| Firstly let me say, have you seen the girl with her own pets? How do they act around her? This is an important key. I only say this because a friend I had years ago had a daughter that abused her dog, and she was a teenager. The dog was scared to death of her. Especially when she would go away and her daughter stayed home with the dog. She was a strange girl, but you would never know it to talk to her. |
