My brother was here for the first couple of days because it was Thanksgiving weekend.
He let us know that our dog was growling at the pet sitter since she was clearly stressed.
Before arrival, I texted the pet sitter acknowledging that there had been issues.
He stated that the dog is eating more regularly, especially when prompted by the friends dog.
(We have four cats in addition to the doggo.)
He also added that doggo goes to our bedroom as soon as the neighbor leaves.
At this point, we were looking at coming home early.
The neighbor offered to try taking the dog to her house first see how she does.
Thats as nicely as I am able to state my feelings.
Our dog is generally super sweet and friendly.
I rescued her 4/1 of this year.
She had been friendly with both brother and pet sitter in the past.
As reflected by my brother and neighbors, she growled at first because she was scared.
Once she was with friends and brother at the park, it reaffirmed that he was a safe person.
She was still hesitant and did growl at him again the next day, but warmed up.
