Input: I went on a detachment (work trip) to Virginia for a week and asked them to take care of my ferrets. 
Food, water, give them time out of the cage, replace dirty litter spots with clean litter, and clean up any accidents they have outside of the cage. I told them I’d throw them a few bucks for their time and as a thank you. 

I got back home today, and they’re alive. They had food and water, but it seems like that’s all they did. They didn’t clean ANY of the bedding, and I know this because the bag I got before I left was still unopened. 
I also found accidents on my floor smeared and dried out, like they barely made an attempt to clean it up and just let it dry out. 

Am I the asshole if I don’t pay them? Or at least pay them minimally? They did keep them fed and hydrated but that’s basically it. 


TL;DR Asked roommates to take care of pets while I was away, offered money, they did the bare minimum. I feel like they shouldn’t be paid. 

not paying my roommates if they didn't hold up to their end of the bargain
