Holy Hell; dog walker never showed

[05heel]

Can I laugh now? Especially at the thought of dude taking a picture and leaving.

Also, I'm glad my manager doesn't have GPS or a keylogger. I'd be gone fo' sho'.


ETA:  FastHands, I'm going to get my burger now. 

or am I?  You all will never know for sure...

I'd have to resign immediately.  The things I type on here while I'm actually in a school building...

The dog walker had a manager? The manager could pull up the dog walker's GPS?

I learn something new, and mainly useless, here every day.

Yes, it's a company that a lot of others use in the building. 

So does that mean none of the dogs in the building were walked today!?

Whoa, why even bother with being a dog walker if you aren't going to do your job you've signed you own self up for.

I feel so fucking bad for the poor dog.

I hate lazy liars. I swear, people piss me off so much.

This. Poor puppies. It's doubtful this is his very first missed walk for any dog.

Do you guys get to meet these people who walk your dog in advance? I'm curious if you don't since they enter your home. I'm never heard of a do walking company with employees. It's always been sole proprietors.

[VeryViolet]

Oh my god I would be so fucking pissed. Thank god the owner knows what is going on and fired this dude.

I know you are in the same general area as me. I have a company we use for boarding that we really like and trust that does dog walking as well. I can PM you the company info if you are wanting to make a switch.

This is terrible gif usage.  If you can't read the lips, thus requiring a text caption, the gif is useless.

You could put any phrase you wanted on this picture and none of them would match up with the lips.   I'm just going to pretend that this bald headed motherfucker is telling me how awesome I am.  That would be accurate. 

It's his accent that makes th caption necessary! Watch him and read th lips with a British (?) accent and it's totally readable

Omg so if the manager pulled the gps and he was never there, then none of the dogs in the building were walked?!
Poor pups
And that manager is going to have to walk a whole lot of dogs this week if she fired the walker.

My dog walker and cat sitter is with a company and they are licensed and bonded.  That was really important to me before I handed over my pets and a key.

Yes, the walker did a meet and greet with the my H and dog first to make sure it was a good fit

[fairygodmother]

and thus endeth that dog walker's contract.

also, WTELF? You had ONE job! 

[motzie]

Of all the jobs in the world to flake out on. Moron.

[nsl]

First, I'm so sorry that this happened to your H's dog, but so glad that he was there today to figure out what was happening.

Second, it's a fucking DOG WALKING job; how lazy and brainless do you have to be to pull a stunt like this? My mind is seriously boggling over the depth of stupidity the dog walker displayed in both flaking on the job and in then lying about it to the owner even though he knew about the GPS.

[ginger]

YOU'RE FIRED!

UGH. I'm so sorry.

I'd be blowing shit up if it were me.

I would lose my damn mind. Your H is apparently a better person than I am, because I'd be out to destroy him.

[walterismydog]

What a fucking dumbass.

I'm sorry you were lied to.

[5hole]

Wait, this douchebag has a key to your place and just got fired? I would want a little more than a few free walks...

[cst2cst]

Has he had your key, alone, in his possession, since he was fired? I'd ask the company to cover the cost of having the lock re-keyed. I would be worried he made a copy. I realize this is super paranoid, but this is a guy who lied while his boss had GPS proof.

[spinnaker5]

Might be time to get the locks changed? 

ETA cst2cst beat me to it - if this has happened to multiple residents in your building management might take care of it.

It's $100, but you should get the dog and activity tracker. We have a Whistle. That way you can keep track and make sure they are walked when you aren't home.

Ps: I had no idea you got a new dog. Pip!

[scottyderp]

This is the kind of stuff that triggers my arm flail.

The company I use has about 12 walkers. I've met a few of them but not all. I chose this route even though it's more expensive because the company is insured & bonded.

I text with them a lot & feel comfortable with them in my house. I occasionally have them overnight sit for me as well, so they sleep in my guest room from 10pm to 8am.
