A woman has taken to social media to search for a “non-weirdo” to help walk her dogs – for free.
A woman has taken to social media to search for a “non-weirdo” to help walk her dogs – for free.
She wants to cut her walk time in half so she can enjoy more time to herself instead of taking out her three mutts in the early morning as she cannot control them all on her own.
In her advert, she said: “Sunrise dog walking buddy sought.
“As per title, I have lots of tiny dogs. I need a bit of walking assistance tomorrow morning as my usual Sunday buddy can’t make it. You’re welcome to bring your own dog but be warned, mine are loud, reactive little t****. I would need you to hold three leads.
“Please no weirdos or small dog bashing. You would need your own transport. Hopefully I can find someone to cut my walk time in half.”
While some users slammed the woman for expecting somebody to give up their time to walk her dogs for free, others laughed at her request for “no weirdos”.
One user said: “You want to meet weirdos? This is how you meet them,” while another user added: “I wonder why her usual walking buddy ‘can’t make it’.”
A third user said: “To be honest, I wouldn’t mind walking someone's dog for free. I would like to have one join me on a hike – but not three little yappy dogs.”
It comes after an owner was slammed for expecting somebody to give up their time to watch over her puppy for as little as £2.35 per hour while she is busy.
Wanting them to work from 10am to 3pm from Monday to Friday, the woman says her Australian shepherd poodle cross currently weighs 3lbs but will grow to about 15lbs.
On a poster advert shared on Reddit she said: “Seeking dog sitter. Weekdays (MTWTF) 10am to 3pm. £200 per month. You can hang out at my apartment or bring her back to yours.”
One user said: “It’s basically a situation that could go either way. You could wind up really glad you made the call, or you could feel incredibly put upon and quickly regret making the call.
“The thing that really gets me though is them expecting the dog sitter to pay for the petrol. That is the stupidly exploitative part. £200 a month ain’t even covering the petrol to get to the dog.”
