I was hired through Rover to check in on a 2-year-old golden retriever, a 3-year-old border collie, and a senior mixed breed. The request is to come in the morning and evening for 30 minutes each time for two days while the owner is in Vegas. This afternoon I went to the owner’s house to meet her and her dogs. Because they’ve been destructive in the past, her plan is to keep the golden and the collie in their wire crates when I’m not there, which would be 23 hours a day. Obviously this is completely unacceptable and I intend to be there for hours at a time, not 30 minutes. However, that the owner even thinks this is fine is very concerning. Do I have any options over and above calling animal welfare?
