Her Dogs Were Acting Weird, So She Installs Camera To See What The Dog Walker Has Been Doing

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 70

The dog walker they hired wasn’t walking their Yorkies. The woman would come into their home every day and take out the dogs’ leashes, then place them on the counter to make it appear as if they had been used.

“We didn’t even think that there was a possibility that she wasn’t walking our dogs,” Shelly said, still in disbelief.

Shelly’s husband confronted the “dog walker” and, surprisingly, she came clean.  ABCActionNews  tried to get some kind of reason for the deceitful behavior out of the woman, but she declined the on-camera interview with journalist Clifton French. Although what happened was disappointing, Shelly and her husband learned a lot from this experience.

Their advice to other pet owners looking to hire a dog walker? “Don’t trust anyone,” the couple said. “Set up cameras, ask for activity logs, and pictures. Simply hold anyone you hire accountable.”

    If you ask me, these parents were kinda stupid. I mean if they live in a house, they should have just put in a doggie door so the pups could just come & go as they needed to. They could have built a small potty area and TRAINED the pups to use that spot/area – it isn’t that hard to do. OR they could have trained their pups to use a litter box just like kitties do – I’ve got a friend whose beagle used a litter box when they lived in an apartment – it isn’t hard to train a dog and it would save you a lot of heartbreak. I just think these folks didn’t think hard enough or outside the box at all or even ask around for suggestions . . . do some research people!

    I was a professional dog walker/pet sitter (and still do pet sitting part time) and I worked my butt off. I walked all the dogs at all my houses regardless of the weather or how I was feeling. Some of the dogs were jerks about walking, too! This woman makes all dog walkers look bad. If you don’t want to do the job, don’t agree to it! I’m glad this owner set up cameras to catch what was going on.

    You know I’ve met dog walkers who have never owned a dog. I sympathize with these folks but…potty training takes 3 days with any dog over 6 months old. I know folks love their dogs to be puppies forever. Trusting someone else with your animal is as serious as a heart attack. I’d never do it (not even a vet) without them understanding what I would do to them.
