Pauline, I think Karen is on to something. Have the petsitter come to your house when you talk to her.......and see how she interacts with Livvy. It just might be that Livvy doesn't LIKE the petsitter!

I had the world's best petsitter for years, and then she bought a home and moved too far away from me. She really spoiled me and the cats.

I interviewed after that and I will never forget one woman who came over, never went near my cats and finally asked if she could use my bathroom. She was in there FOREVER! When she came out I could see that she had curled her hair - put on all fresh makeup. Needless to say I was not happy with her and never hired her.

I have settled on a petsitter who is a vet technician at my vets.
The only problem is that he never tells me anything! Everything is always just fine!

Discussing your housekeeping is totally out of line..........and it is important that you feel secure with her when leaving your cats.

Since this is upsetting you, you might start looking around for another sitter while you have the leisure to call others for references etc. I am sure you are like I am, I want to leave and feel Rascal will be well taken care of........and not worry!

No, you aren't overreacting!!
