Her Sister Offered Her A Rent And Utility-Free Apartment For 6 Months In Exchange For Dog Sitting Two Pups, But She Still Thinks She Should Get Paid On Top Of Having No Bills

This 21-year-old girl has a sister named Alice, who currently owns an apartment with her husband. However, her sister and her brother-in-law will soon be moving abroad since Alice has just accepted a new job offer.
And while exciting, this move presented one major issue– because apparently, Alice has two dogs, and her sister had no clue what to do with them.
So, at first, her sister and brother-in-law’s plan was to move abroad and see how it goes for up to six months. Afterward, if they decided they didn’t like living there, then they would move back home.
In the event that they enjoyed living abroad, though, her sister and brother-in-law would try to figure out a way to move the dogs to their new place.
“But, if it was not possible, they would rehome the dogs in our country,” she explained.
Now, given that she is just 21 and in college, she cannot really afford to move out. Instead, she currently lives with her mother, even though she would love to be able to live on her own.
And since her sister already knew about her living situation, Alice decided to make her an offer. Apparently, she was told that she could live in Alice’s vacant apartment for free for six months– without having to pay any rent or utilities.
The only catch, though, was that she would have to take care of her sister’s dogs. So, she would be required to walk the pup for “hours” each day, take them to their veterinarian appointments, and more.
Alice also claimed that she would get paid for anything dog-related. On top of that, her sister offered to throw in a few paid doggy daycare days for her exam periods at college or if she wanted to go away on vacation.

And honestly, she really liked her sister’s offer. After all, Alice’s apartment is much closer to her college than where she currently lives. Plus, she would finally get to live alone.
On the flip side, though, she realizes just how much work taking care of two dogs will be. So, she believes that it is not unreasonable for her to want to be compensated for the dog sitting.
“If I did not have to take care of the dogs, I could get a part-time job if I wanted to. So, I feel like I should be reimbursed for that,” she explained.
Her mother and sister, though, have completely opposing perspectives. In fact, they both believe that being allowed to live rent-free in her sister’s apartment is more than enough. So, they have accused her of being unreasonable and “money hungry.”
But, after hearing those arguments, she admitted to actually laughing in their face. Plus, she even told her sister Alice to try and find another dog sitter then.
“I know I am her best option,” she vented.
If you could not have guessed, though, her attitude just made both her mom and Alice even angrier.
So now, she has been left wondering whether asking to be paid for the six months of dog sitting was a reasonable request or not.
Do you think getting a rent and utility-free apartment is a great deal in exchange for dog sitting? If you were in her shoes, wouldn’t you also want to help out your sister? Why do you think she expects more money on top of a free place to live that is close to her college? If you were in her shoes, would you accept your sister’s offer or not?
