AIO over a cat sitter not emptying a litter robot
I boarded my cat with a rover sitter for twelve days for a trip, it cost me \~$700 but I know he does badly entirely on his own so opted to go for it. I left him there with this litter robot and brought a trash bag that fits the tray and asked if she could change the tray in a week, she said sure and mentioned she has the same trash bags. I get there after twelve days and as I’m carrying the robot out she offhandedly mentions “oh I didn’t change the tray yet,“ I had just had a full day of travel and was just like oh ok, no worries, and left. Two days later she messages me asking if I can leave her a review, and I keep getting stuck on the tray :/ my little guy is so low maintenance, she said so herself, and considering she didn’t have to scoop a single time and then seeing the state/smell of the tray when I came back I found disappointing when it was not cheap and was kind of the only maintenance he needed. I’m grateful he was cared for and healthy but am I overreacting to be irked when someone says they’ll do something and then doesn’t even do it on day 12 for the appearance of following through? The robot was definitely a day max from stopping cycling with how full it was and I know my cat hates when it stinks too so I’m kind of disappointed
Reddit consensus: NOT OVERREACTING (NOR) (100% confidence)
Top comment: “NOR. $700 for twelve days and the only maintenance he needed was one tray change. she agreed, didn't do it, and is now asking for a review. that review kind of writes itself”
Notable comment: “NOR. You paid her to do a job and she didn't do it.
It's fine to mention that in the review, or to address it with her before you leave one. "I'm hesitant to leave a review because I was disappointed that you never emptied the litter tray like I asked."”
Do you agree with Reddit’s consensus?
Remaining time: 2 days 23 hours
