Do you have a problem having licensed professional service people come into your house when you are on vacation?

For many years we got our neighbor to feed our cats and clean their litter boxes while we were away.

Our neighbor seems genuinely happy to help but I know there’s other things he’d rather to with his time. And I feel like we are taking advantage of him.

I found an animal care company (called “Rover”) that only charges $10 per visit for cat care. The woman I hired has a 25 five star rating and 16 repeat clients.

But my wife was unhappy. She’s afraid of a stranger coming into the house. I tried to explain to her that there is no problem here and I’ll change the security codes when she’s finished but my wife started angrily yelling at me. That shook me up. I told her that I would cancel the order.

How about you? Would you have a problem hiring a well liked and experienced animal care taker from a large company to come into your house to care for your pet while you are away?
