It's a trip!: Found the 'housesitter' and the dog

Found the 'housesitter' and the dog

Update.

I finally located the housesitter--she's NOT staying at my house. Excuse me, but isn't that the entire purpose of having a housesitter?!? The best part of it is that she couldn't give me a reason why she's not staying there, just that "I thought it'd be ok". I assured her it was not.

My dog is living at another co-worker's house temporarily (this one actually works for me, at least I know she's reliable) since the "sitter" "couldn't make it out there everyday".
GRRRRRRR. Hypothetically she's going to give the keys to a neighbor so they can allow the painters in.

At least I know the pets are ok, and the landlord seemed a bit placated when I explained that we weren't actually on holiday but here for major surgery. Still, our lease is up in November and not only do I love the house and not want to move, but after all this we just don't have the money to move.

I just want to know what's coming next?!?! I won't tempt fate by asking what else could go wrong, but damn....I think it's just about time for something to go right for a change!

Vetmommy said...: How distressingly scary for you. Just the stress you need as you recover, eh? We, too, have had unbelievably bad experiences with our "housesitters." Mostly, with them not leaving drinking water for the animals, even though I leave a reminder note with big letters saying DON'T FORGET TO GIVE THEM FRESH WATER EVERY DAY, ITS IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM. Its not that difficult!!!
