 Bad sitter

well, as you may know, my crab has just molted and i had to leave a couple of days later. i had a dog-sitter coming in often and i told her to check on the crabs and give them water if it looks like they nedded it and stuff like that; i gave them a lot of food so that they didn’t need to reply too much on the sitter. well, the sitter said in her note that the hermie were fine and stuff, but then i look in thier cage and they had no water!!! next time i go on vaction i am going to put all of the crabs in a smaller travel cage and give them to a friend to watch them. i am sooo mad, they all seem fine, and i put them in the now-full water dish so that they know they have water to drink now. i also wanted to know if my molted crab is going to be ok, he moves and seems to have more color and stuff but i don’t know how long they went w/out water, i was gone for a week and i left them with a lot of water. maybe up to 5 day w/out any... anyway, i live in State College, PA and would like to know if you guys know any dog-sitters who would be better able to care for crabs. and what should i do to them, are they going to be ok? i am sooo worried!!! help me!
