Field Scenario
During a visit, a sitter accidentally leaves a door unlatched, and a cat gets into another room it’s not usually allowed in, though nothing seems harmed.
What You Actually Do
- Communicate what happened honestly to the owner rather than staying silent about it
- Explain what was done to address the situation once discovered
- Recognize that honest communication about mistakes protects the relationship better than hiding them
- Take this as a reminder to double-check details like door latches going forward
