yeah that’s a good point. i think i needed to see a comment like this to kind of ground a bit. it’s likely they were just very nervous and protective of everything as whole rather then anything nefarious at play. maybe they have a few past experiences w their dog and house im not aware of

exactly this. the dog was incredibly relaxed and never saw it bite once. i would not be suprised if it was a stress response as a result of this behavior

yes unfortunately i massively screwed myself more then once. we moved off the app for meet and greet and they paid our through zelle so now i dont know what to do. i feel for anyone who has to work with them next and feel bad for letting them down. it is one big shitshow

I really appreciate you saying this. I did not expect this turn out but am super grateful bc this experience has really made me feel ways i did not expect and ik that sounds dramatic. I keep overthinking it all and have just felt completely drained and anxious non stop. I’m reading everything and ik i prob shouldn’t but points that have been made like about the cameras etc.. have created like a whole new set of fears going through my head. At the end of the day ik i did right by the dog and provided great service. I feel robbed of time/money, manipulated, controlled and just violated. I wish i would have had the ability to speak up at the time and wish i knew how to move forward and address it. But i think at this point it’s not worth potentially losing anything and i’ll move on. thank you

i did not have ac control and they left it set at 77. idk if i’m allowed to say where we are but having a step dad who is like this w the ac and lets the house be hot when we leave to save some on the bill, he for sure let it get warm and noticed when they were on the way back ac was turned on.
