Never push the limits of someone’s generosity to the point that they stop doing you a favor.
If someone is doing you a favor, respect it instead of pushing the limits to the point that they stop doing you any favor after that. Today’s story is about a good friend who does a lot of sitting for her friends. She would do house sitting, dog sitting and cat sitting. A friend of hers had to go on a trip with her boyfriend. OP’s friend asked her if she can dog and house sit for her for some days and OP said ”yes”. After some days, OP’s friend texted her with a to-do list. She wanted her to put on a dog video for the noise, dropping and picking up the dog from the doggy daycare and taking the dog on doggy dates. OP didn’t want to do all of the extra work and told her friend that it would disrupt her schedule. Scroll down to read what happened next.

OP’s friend is just trying to manipulate her and OP should not listen to her because she is just taking advantage of her kindness. If OP’s friend wants all the extra work for her doggos, she should miss her trip or find another dog sitter.
