This morning I found a note on my door from my duplex neighbour
(upstairs unit) and he was asking if he could spend time with my dog. His note
says that he has anxiety and being around pets helps calm him down. He’s a
college student so he doesn’t have one of his own. He offered to pet sit while
I’m at work, take her for walks, or just play with her. He said that he would
watch her in his apartment, so I’m not worried about him robbing me. I really
don’t know him though. We have never said much more to each other than “Hello”
in passing.
I’m kind of nervous about this. My dog is only a year old
and honestly isn’t super disciplined. I’d let them meet before I ever left her
with him but where would my liability be if she broke something of his or bit
him? What if she gets out while he’s watching her? I know that people hire dog
walkers all the time but I’m just so uneasy letting someone be around my baby
without me there lol.
