A bit late on my reply but I am very happy to know there are still honest and responsible young pet sitters. I was also this way. I did not like baby sitting so I was the go to for pet sitting. No matter what, I would always go. And I have pretty severe ADHD though I was only diagnosed 1.5 yrs ago at the old age of 44 yrs old. I get your struggles with motivation and can commiserate with the forgetfulness. But for animals, I could always remember and actually wanted to do it!As a teenager who regularly has pet/garden care gigs all over my neighborhood, I must say I am appalled after reading through this.
I very much value honesty, hard work, and above all the animals themselves. Despite being someone who struggles with forgetfulness and motivation on a daily basis (I have ADHD, which can be tough at times) I NEVER would do that to an animal or to the people who trusted me to look after it.
Funny story: I broke my wrist in a sports accident in February. Very painful and I spent a good chunk of the day woozy on pain meds and getting it casted. It was NOT a fun day. But when I got home, I still went over to my neighbor's house, fed the cats, collected mail, and cleaned the litter box, because that was my job.
I repeat- I would never purposefully do a poor job or be lazy/careless like that. So to hear about someone who would is disheartening. You have every right to be pissed at her.
