3 Scary True Dog Sitting Horror Stories

there was this one weekend that my aunt uncle and cousins went away upstate and instead of taking their dog with them where to a kennel they asked me to watch her for the weekend at their house I was excited to do so because not only would they pay me but they are loaded and their house is full of fun stuff to do they had the Havanese which is a tiny dog her name is Luna I didn't mind watching Luna because she was such a calm low-maintenance dog I just fed her twice a day and let her out back a couple times a day she always followed me whatever room I was in so if I was in the giant living room watching TV she'd be laying on the floor in the center of the room if I went downstairs to the basement to play video games she followed and would lay down there while playing video games in the basement Luna suddenly lifted her head from the ground and stared in the direction of the boiler room I had a dog before and I knew this was something dogs did to any slight sound but it was still enough of a reason for me to pause the game and feel a little unsettled I looked in the direction of the boiler room as well it was silent and dark in there and there was no chance of me going in there so I unpause the game and continue playing I'll be it a bit uncomfortable now I guess my childish fears were getting the better of me she put her head back down for a minute but then again I lifted it up and look towards the boiler room deep down I knew it was probably nothing but I was still a bit too freaked out to continue playing video games comfortably so I turned everything off and ran up the stairs shutting the door once Luna came hopping up they also had another big gaming room on the main floor it was kind of disconnected from the rest of the house and that you had to go through a narrow hallway to get there Luna plopped herself down in front of my feet in this little game room I played more video games for a while until it got late then I went down the hall to the room I'd be sleeping in a guest bedroom that was nicer than my bedroom back at home I threw on a pair of sweatpants and a white undershirt his pajamas and jumped under the covers not going to sleep without watching a little TV first Luna was obviously by the bedside she was really growing on me how affectionate yet calm she was I eventually turned off the TV and went to sleep my sleep was disturbed by a growling sound I turned on the bedside lamp and saw Luna laying still on the floor head down yet growling at something I said her name a few times but she didn't look at me then she lifted her head finally to look at the closet door her growling grew more intense and she stood up now still looking at the closet she didn't bark though in fact I never heard her bark once I looked at the closet a sliding wooden door closet it was open about three inches from the left side of course I couldn't really see anything from the inside I got up from the bed really sneaky like and tiptoed closer to the closet I don't know what I was planning on doing really I guess I just wanted to look through the crack or see if I could hear something when I got about five feet away from the closet door something that I couldn't see for my bed came into view through the crack of the door and I I couldn't see any face or anything it was too dark but I knew what I was looking at in that closet was a person's eye perfectly tucked between the wall and the edge of the door looking into the room or now at me I screamed but it didn't do much good since I was alone I took Luna and ran for the front door grabbing the emergency cell phone on the counter to call 9-1-1 during my run away from the house it was 1:00 in the morning so I didn't bother calling my aunt and uncle the cops did a thorough sweep and found someone in the pantry closet downstairs I never saw him though because another officer was preoccupying me with conversation to calm me down I was just relieved to go back inside knowing I was the only one in the house besides Luna of course who just might have saved my life that night a cold December in Vermont countryside home alone for the night watching my friend's dog Chester doing him a favor even though it was unbearably cold outside I couldn't let his dog out in the yard we don't have fences up here so he could easily run into the woods and get lost that meant unfortunately I had to take him for a walk in the cold my friend gave me an old dirty blue tearing leash to use Chester seemed excited when I hooked up the leash ring on to his collar ring and he instantly pulled me towards the front door I could already tell he'd be a pain in the ass to walk stepping out into the cold was a major shock to my body I just wanted to get through this walk as soon as possible I ran a little bit with Chester just to warm myself up he stopped us to sniff one of the countless trees on the side of the dirt road I thought for sure he'd do his business but then he perked up and stared off into the woods then his deep loud bark started echoing through the woods as he tugged and tried to pull me into the woods I tried my hardest to hold him back but the leash snapped at a weak point and off Chester went into the woods disappearing in seconds his barking faded away into the woods until I couldn't hear it anymore I chased after him screaming his name he probably ran off chasing a deer or a small animal or something but with only the light of my phone I knew I wouldn't be able to find him you would have to come back to me on his own after a while I stood in place and continuously called Chester's name I heard footsteps nearby and got excited that Chester must have been coming back but as the footsteps got louder I realized they were much too loud slow and heavy to be a dog's foot friends they sounded more like American noise not for legs I turned out my light now convinced I was hearing the footsteps of a person the footsteps seemed to be circling me my fear was if it was intentional or not and if I'd been seen or not I tried my best to tiptoe back to the road I was covering decent distance and then the sound of the footsteps just stopped or made it away I don't remember noticing which one but because of this I was more laxed with my footsteps and walked a little faster little did I realize that the black object I was walking towards it was a person's back I stopped as it felt like my heart did too I was covering my mouth trying not to make a sound but it was obviously too late the person definitely heard my footsteps at this point I took a chance and asked if they had by some chance seen my dog but they didn't even turn around they had their hood on so I couldn't even gauge what they looked like I took another chance and put my hand on their shoulder and once again felt like my heart stopped the shoulder felt hard and wooden I walked in front of the body facing the tree and so on nothing inside of the hood nothing but a long stick holding it up it was some kind of fake dummy then then whatever was making those footsteps was still nearby I didn't care about the noise anymore I just ran back to the road and then up the hill and back to the house I never went back for Chester and he never came back to the house telling my friend was the worst part he hated me afterwards and I expected he would given though we weren't exactly the closest friends to begin with already that night though I had a nightmare that I was in my room and I heard Chester's barks out in the woods like scared whimpering touch marks I woke up and looked out the window to the dark woods hoping the barks were real and I just heard them in my dream but they weren't it was silent I don't know what happened to Chester I don't know what the dummy was doing in the woods and I don't know who was making those footsteps that night quite frankly I'm not sure I want to know the answer to any of it [Music] I was watching my neighbor's dog for a little extra money one night she was a creepy neighbor though not intentionally but she was kind of old and had an antisocial vibe to her she was obsessed with her dog so when she was apparently visiting family or something across the state and couldn't bring the dog she practically begged me to watch her but when I agreed for the right price she literally scolded me about what to do and not to do as far as taking care of her the dog's name was hazel there was a lot of pressure put on me for watching this dog she insisted I stay at her place instead of taking the dog next door to our place she had a spare bedroom with a single twin sized bed and a desk in the corner that was all that was in the room the dog was small white and puffy I don't exactly know what kind maybe a Bichon Frise it was loud yappy and annoying buh and I hated it I started watching it around 5:00 and just played on my phone for hours only feeding the dog once that night thankfully I'd only be doing this for one night I brought over my xbox to play games on her TV but then I realized the TV was so archaic it didn't even have an HDMI port so I couldn't even hook it up so I spent most of the day playing games on my phone and listening to Hazel's yapping at every little thing I did do a little snooping around of course I looked into the woman's bedroom since the door was left open even though she told me not to go in there the furniture was all archaic in there as well and there was a big rectangular rug in the middle of the room with Indian looking patterns when night came I went to bed as early as possible like 9 o'clock I'm sure hazel was sleeping in the woman's room I didn't really care I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of Hazel's constant barking I screamed shut up but the barking seemed kind of muffled and sound like it was coming from a basement or something I wasn't aware of a basement in the house I walked to where I heard the barking coming from I was confused to realize it was coming from the woman's bedroom I walked inside and saw the rug in the middle of the room had been rolled up to the corner exposing a door in the grounds opened up it was pitch-black down there but Hazel's barking was definitely coming from down there I was scared shitless obviously hazel didn't open the store and she was barking at something down there I didn't want to shine a light down there in fear of what I was going to see I was about to leave the house and run home but I couldn't just leave hazel down there I whispered her name and then the barking stopped I was hoping to see her running up the stairs from the dark abyss any moments but she didn't something did come out of the darkness though it was a hand grabbing onto the side of the opening the hand of a man I was faced with a fight-or-flight scenario and being the little 15 year old I was I chose to run for it I woke my parents and screamed at them what just happens my dad called the police and reported a break-in next door the police checked the woman's bedroom as I described the rug was apparently back in place and the door was shut they still went to check it out and apparently found a big crawlspace type area with a bunch of weird things laying around no sign of a person or hazel when the neighbor returned home the next day my dad confronted her for me apparently she threw a huge tantrum and mentioned something about the demons making noises below her at night then she exploded into tears over her dog ever since that day we haven't spoken a single word to her we hardly ever see her anyway she never leaves her house I'm okay with that still terrifies me to think of that night though
