Hi, this is my first post. I’m in need of advice. Until now I’ve had very positive experiences with sitters who’ve cared for my home and 2 small dogs in North Essex. However I’ve just returned from 6 weeks away to find the sitter already gone. My dogs seem ok but my house is in a terrible state and I’m not sure what to do about this. So far this is what I’ve come home to:
Door locked but all windows open and sitter gone.
Knee high grass in front and back gardens.
All my beautiful garden flower beds and pots are dried up and dead.
The bins at the side of the house overflowing and rubbish including rotting food and a lot of it strewn all over the pathway at the side.
Back garden covered in dog mess. I can’t go out there without stepping in it.
All carpets downstairs are covered in puddles of dog wee, some dried and stained others still wet. Terrible smell of urine throughout.
The bathroom looks like it hasn’t been cleaned at all, the toilet is filthy, the shower is blocked with hair and slimy stuff.
The sitters bedroom with dirty bedding and stained sheets, filthy carpet stained with dirt.
Kitchen sink clogged with rotten food and burt frying pans piled in.
Inside of fridge filthy and floor sticky
Lounge floor has vomit all over the carpet.
Lounge furniture with sticky stuff and stains.
A horrible smell through the whole house.
I can go on but would make it too long.
I’m hoping someone can advise me on the best course of action and thank you in advance for any help.
