How to tell someone that i'm not a pet lover?

Ok i'm ok to be around animals only if someones is there with me to take care of it.

This lady i met asked me i can come into her house feed a dog, take it for a walk and clean up after it. I have never done before and i don't wanna do it. I dont like the smell of the house when someone has a dog..i always feel like i'm breathing dog hair. I dont like to pet animals ...its like my hands are dirty afterwards.

I will never hurt pets...but i just dont wanna be around them if there s no one else around taking care of them.

You can call me whatever you like , but its just me..don't blame me.

So how can i tell this lady that i like her pets but i don't think i'm the right person to take care of them while she is gone? She trust me so bad...but i just don't see myself walking a dog, picking poop......i'm ok with filling the dog bowl with food.

Can you give me a nice excuse that won't hurt her feelings and make her hate me.

Tell her animals are cool, but that you have absolutely no experience caring for animals and she might want to consider a true animal lover to help her out....that you might mess up (be humble)!

Say, "Oh my gosh," I know nothing about dogs; I wish I could help you but I kind of feel allergic sometimes and I don't want to mess up. Pet hair makes me sneeze like crazy"

Or something.

Listen, I'm a dog and cat lover and I even work at our Humane Society taking care of dogs...it took me a long time to learn how to walk them correctly and get used to picking up their poop...and I wanted to!

Not anybody can do this....it takes a liking. There's nothing wrong with you not being into this...everyone has their likes and dislikes and not liking dogs is hardly a cause for blaming you as if you were some sort of abuser.

People hire PROFESSIONALS to do this type of thing because they know they need someone who likes it and knows what they're doing. I hire a pro cat sitter when I go away, I don't trust even my ex-husband to come in and feed and scoop their box, and he likes my animals.

Good luck...you can come up with something. If she 'hates' you, she's naive.

Good going, lady! You did the right thing. I would hardly couple 'christianity" with dog loving. Not even remotely the same. Report It

she is a true hypocrite. where does christianity promise that u have to love or take care of other people's pets? i am a christian but that is not something i expect from someone. each person has a right to like or dislike something what ever religion they belong to. God bless. Report It

Just tell her that you don't think you should be given the responsibility. I think she will respect you for being honest instead of just watching the dog and being in over your head.

Maybe try to suggest someone else who can do it

Maybe you can just tell her that you have a prior engagement and don't want to commit to it just in case you can't follow thru and maybe she can get someone that can definitely do it.

be honest and tell her you dat u just dont feel comfortable with pets. to be honest is most of the time the best way

How to tell someone that i'm not a pet lover?

I like your pets but i don't think I'm the right person to take care of them while you are gone? I don't have much experience and I am honestly quite busy. It is just a big responsibility for me right now and I am not prepared.

Be honest with her as much as possible and she will have respect for you. She wouldn't want to leave her pet that she loves with someone who didn't want to care for them. You may offer to help her find someone to take care of them while she is gone. Good Luck!!!

How to tell someone that i'm not a pet lover?

The best answer is always an honest answer. You simply say that you feel you need to be honest and say that you are not the best person to care for her dog. Tell her that you are sorry but you have never been an animal person and feel squeamish at the prospect of having to clean up after the dog and that the dog should have someone who will show it affection and enjoy walking it and playing with it, and you know that you won't do these things. If she gets upset, just apologize and if she can't accept your answer, then the problem is hers and just know you didn't do anything wrong here. But, I honestly don't think she will be angry about it. Besides, you don't owe her anything.

How to tell someone that i'm not a pet lover?

all you can do is tell her that your not a pet person-nothing personal against the animals but if she wouldn't mind to have someone who does like pets to do it instead so it doesn't cause more problems between you.she has to respect that not everyone likes pets enough to take care of them in their absence.if she gets upset with this,then it's time to move on.otherwise,try to at least make an attempt to help out if she means anything to you.you never know-you might accidently like pets the more you're around them too!

How to tell someone that i'm not a pet lover?

How to tell someone that i'm not a pet lover?

You say it very well: "i like her pets but i don't think i'm the right person to take care of them while she is gone". Why not try saying that to her? Be honest. She might think you're weird (pet people can never understand anti-pet people and vice versa). But you shouldn't do anything you don't want to do.

btw, i have a dog, but i know plenty of people, including my parents, who barely tolerate it.
