Every pet owner wants to leave on vacation feeling at ease and secure in the knowledge that his cherished animals will be cared for. The rest is simple once you have resolved this issue. Owners of pets report from personal experience that a professional sitter is superior to a member of the family or even friends. It’s easy to understand why. A professional service is what you receive when you pay for it. Additionally, pet lovers make up the majority of pet sitters.
Your pets will be in good hands with just a little guidance because they are already familiar with the demands of pets. While friends and relatives would undoubtedly help, would it be enough if they don’t own a pet of their own and have no prior experience pet-sitting? Well, nobody is able to say for sure.
This Reddit member hired a dog sitter to take care of his pets while he and his boyfriend were on vacation as a result. But when his younger brother heard it, the issue emerged.
He intended to watch them with his dogs. His brother thought this would be his chance to finally own dogs and play with them, even if it was just for a weekend, as he explained that they had never had pets as children. As it was also a worrying factor for the OP as he had never handled a dog before.
However, the Redditor stuck with his initial choice since he believes that his brother is an irresponsible individual. He explained everything in the story below, but he still questions whether it was the right decision to deny his brother permission to keep an eye on the dogs.
So keep on scrolling down below and make sure to read it till the end to know what really happened here and what are the views of Redditors regarding this.

6. And someone was kind of curious that how was he irresponsible

11. Yes this could be the point that he wants to play with the dogs rather than take care of them

12. If he wants to spend more time with your dogs then he can do it when you are around, it does make sense, right?

13. Sorry dad this is why I ain’t letting him take care of the dogs
via: reddit
14. Until then I already have a pet sitter

15. This explains the reason why OP doesn’t want him to deal with the dogs
via: reddit
Dogs are living creatures, not toys that everyone could handle and do whatever they want to. Dogs tend to be handled by someone who has experience with dogs and someone who is actually responsible. The way OP’s brother was reacting by locking himself in the room and throwing these adult tantrums shows that he is still childish and does not really know how to take care of dogs. So it was in the best interest of OP to let the pet sitter deal with the dogs.
