No, I wouldn’t!

I suppose they might say they were checking that everything was in order but unless you’ve asked them to do that, they shouldn’t be poking around.

Is it ok to be a pet-sitting nosey parker if you don't touch? I have discrete security cameras around my house & last time someone pet-sat for me I could see they'd gone into all my rooms for a look around, although nothing was touched. (most doors were closed). I'm about to go away again & I'm wondering if the new pet-sitter will also have a snoop around?

I've just house-sat for a different friend & I made sure not to do anything other than that that was asked. So own up, would you use the opportunity for a good look?
