Dog Sitter Gets Caught Partying On The Job, Slams Client For Snooping Around
Did this client’s curiosity stray a step too far?
A dog sitter got caught partying on the job, then tried to flip the whole story on the client who noticed. And instead of calming things down, OP reportedly went nuclear, calling the client “creepy” for watching their Instagram.
Here’s what makes it messy: OP’s dog was reportedly being left while OP was out living it up, and the client allegedly connected the dots by monitoring what OP posted. When the client confronted them, OP fired back, arguing that the client was snooping around and that the whole situation was unfair.
The wild part is how fast the comments turned, because everyone kept coming back to the same question: you got paid to stay, so why were you posting party pics instead?
