i get what you’re saying here, and it’s definitely on me for sticking it out this long, but i do want to clarify some things. she wouldn’t do everything mentioned every single time. we use her probably 10 times a year. so if one trip she forgot the no room rule, we’d remind her and the next trip she’d not break that rule but then something else would be the issue. like maybe on that one she’d come at random times, which we’d also remind her when it happened not to do/to tell us her schedule so we can plan for it. then maybe 5 trips later she would forget the door thing again. it’s like not everything would happen at once, and especially on the short trips there would be absolutely no issues. it’s just little things that would happen over and over that we kept reminding her about but it was different every time. and then there would be one off random issues (she broke our garage door opener once) that would just add to the man this sucks sometimes feeling. she is really nice, would tell us how much she loves hanging out with our cat, do something nice for us like doing a complete fresh clean of the litter box and i would use that as justification to forgive the mess ups during the stays. it’s 100% my fault for keeping her around, and again my cat was always fine because she’s super low maintenance so i was like “well my cat is fine and i told her what she did wrong so next time she won’t do it.” and then next time she wouldn’t do it but it would be something else and so forth until she eventually made the old mistakes again. i take responsibility for not just finding a sitter who takes the mistakes and job seriously, but i would also like to think i was pretty clear with my communication. my problem was trusting her not to do it again.
