Teacher, but pet sitting during the summer. Damn, some of you have really dirty homes

Who cares. We all know some people have a messy home. Is this a surprise?

I'm disgusted on a regular basis by the stank of Febreeze in people's otherwise clean-looking homes. Febreeze just means something, somewhere is extraordinarily filthy. Smells nasty. Why waste your time on a cleaning service if you still need to spray Febreeze anyway.

I checked on a colleague's cat for the past week, but never again. Sometimes you just don't know how people are at home. If you don't take out the trash before you go out of town, and if you can write words in the dust on a shelf, and there's more than 1 food spill on your stove... you need to clean your damn home.

I've done pet sitting before as a side hustle, and lots of people have a decently clean home, but there are definitely those people with food crusties from their pet food that haven''t been cleaned up in at least a week if not a month. And they reuse the same bowl without cleaning it... for nasty periods of time.

This has nothing to do with "cleaning for the pet sitter." I mean, aren't some of you grossed out by your own filth?! You live in it. You're not bothered by how you live at home??? Are you immune to the way your house smells? I feel sorry for some of y'alls pets. I've had pets my whole life, lead a busy life, and still make time to keep my home fairly clean. Trash gets taken out every couple of days max, pet food bowls get washed daily, and litter emptied daily as well. The bare minimum can go a long way.

I forgot to add: this person asked that I use her special separate spoons for the canned cat food. While there was dried food crud all over the place - floor, counter, stove, etc. Some people have really bizarre cleanliness priorities.

You sound nastier than dried cat food crud. I feel sorry for your colleague that they asked you to come into their home. Why did she even ask you? I guess you must look broke.

Time for someone to get off the internet and clean their house.
