Dogsitting for Cioccolata

Vitello the Dogsitter

I check my phone and see that someone responded to my looking for work ad on Craigslist. Yay!

--"Hello 'Vitello' I see you are a dogsitter. I need a dogsitter because I'm going on vacation and I dont trust my housemates to be alone with my precious sweet smart perfect angel of a puppy. I can pay well because I am a..doctor. I need you to start tomorrow. Just come by whenever. You will need to live at the house until I get back."

There was an attached address and a phone number. This definitely couldnt be a serial killer trap! I need money too. Besides, a doctors house for a week or two?? for free? why would anyone turn that down? Im gonna start packing immediately

🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠

I arrive at the address and it.. NOT what I was expecting.

The gnomes are a nice touch though :). Im pretty sure this is actually an asylum but I guess I cant be too picky because I need my check...

I hype myself up and step up to the door. It looks friendly? I mean maybe its just a bad part of town--

I knock three times and get a REALLY bad feeling. I consider just walking away but then I hear the door slam open.

"OH my god you almost gave me a heart attack!!! Um, Im here for the dogsitting job? I was told to come by here. Im Vitello!"
The freaky guy at the door just breathed then pointed behind himself. Im assuming that means I can come in?
He leads me into the dark house and I am overcome with the smell of pot, piss and mold. Holy shit! I might throw up!
The scary guy leads me down a hall and stops.

(THIS IS NOT DOPPIO THIS IS VITELLO LMAO!!!!)
"Hi.... you must be Vitello. Sorry about the mess haha, my housemates dont like to clean 😒. Since youre here just on time, ill go ahead and give you your laundry list! Then well meet my cute sweetie darling boy!"
The crusty green haired man must be the doctor. Doctor of what Im starting to question.
He hands me a list of assignments to keep up with for the week.

I thought i was just dogsitting and not.. cleaning bongs?? Oh boy.
"Okay so.. this seems simple enough.... is there like certain food he has and all that?"
"Yeah, yeah he knows where it is. We can go meet him now."

The green guy leads me into an even darker room. It smells like mold and sweat. I gag again.

I hear a faint growling from the room as the guy turns the doorknob.

"Hes just upset Im leaving. He wont bite probably. Hell get used to you in no time!"
"What breed is he?"
"A mutt or something I dunno"

I enter the room and see another huge mess. Is it really too late to back out??
What the fuck is in that cage.

"Secco~~~~ Im leaving now~  be a good boy for daddy and dont bite. We dont need anyone else getting an infection~! This is Vitello, your sitter. Now let me give you some goodbye kisses!!!"
He lets 'Secco' out of the crate an- OH MY GOD THATS A HUMAN PERSON??!!!!

Before I even have time to bail the 'doctor' starts to run for the door.
"IF YOU NEED ANYTHING JUST ASK THE OTHER PEOPLE HERE IM GONE FOR THE NEXT MONTH DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT LEAVING BYE~~~♡"

Secco looks really sad and just starts mumbling "Cioccolata" over and over. I guess I should start on this list? Or meet the other freaks in the house..
