Strange Pet-Sitting Requests (Pet Owners Are a Breed Apart)

We jump at the chance to pet-sit. You get all the perks of having an adorable, cuddly friend – but it’s temporary. No vet bills or house training necessary. But sometimes pet owners can be a little fanatical about routines and rituals they take part in with their pet. An article from MSNBC details some of the stranger requests made of pet sitters:

  • A woman requested that her dogs be allowed to watch Oprah at 4 p.m. every day.
  • A person asked if the sitter would allow the dog to lick her feet prior to sleeping.
  • Someone said that her dog was afraid of tall, skinny objects.
  • One owner requested that holy water and ash be mixed with her cat’s food, and then prayed over.

Are you a pet owner with weird quirks about your pooch, kitty, or other critter? Or have you ever gotten an absurd request while pet-sitting?
