If you’re a dog owner, you know how sweet it is when dogs come to greet you and immediately start showering you with kisses.

However, dogs tend to have stinky breath, and you can only take those smothering kisses for so long before you start to get grossed out. 

One pet-sitter recently got into an argument with a woman after she was asked to let her dogs slobber in her face without being turned away. Yes, you heard that right. 

She’s 24-years-old and has taken on a new client who needs her to start petsitting her six dogs on a few weekends out of the year. 

The dogs are very friendly but sometimes a little too friendly. 

Anytime she arrives at her client’s house, all of the dogs get on the couch with her and immediately get very close to her face while panting and drooling.

It’s gotten to the point where she has to lightly nudge them away from her because, although they mean well, it’s pretty nasty.

After the second weekend with these dogs, her client called her to talk about something that was concerning her. The client has a nanny cam so she can see whenever she’s over at the house pet sitting.

She was racking her brain with what she might’ve done wrong. But, as it turns out, the owner didn’t like how she turned the dogs away from her face on the couch.

“She said it was important that someone not turn away from her dogs when they show excitement since she wants to encourage them to be friendly,” she recalled.

At first, she thought this client was joking. She sarcastically asked her client if she wanted her to allow the dogs to breathe and slobber in her face anytime she was over. To her amazement, the client said yes very seriously. 

The next time she went to this client’s house, she was asked to sit at the bottom of her staircase and let the dogs come to her.

When one of the dogs started getting all up in her face, the client told her not to turn him away and that she’ll learn to love it.

“I did my best to hold my breath, but after all the dogs had their turn, I was ready to puke,” she remembered.

“I held it in as best I could until she was out the door and then gagged and felt sick for half an hour.”

The next time she was over there at the same time as her client, she did her best to bear the dogs’ bad breath, but she had to turn at least once, and the client became very upset.

Her client claimed that a “real dog person” could take all the smothering attention and became offended when she said their breath was bad.

Finally, she got fed up and yelled, “Stop trying to get me to smell your dogs’ breath, you weirdo!” before storming out of the client’s house. 

She left her client without a dog sitter and most likely left her scrambling to find someone new at the last minute.

She definitely blew it with this client and is sad to lose such a nice flow of income. However, she couldn’t take the bad breath and slobber anymore. 

Should she have sucked it up for the money, or was she right to leave that house?
