person A: I was going to a wedding outside of my city_comma_ and had arranged to have my dogs watched while I was gone_comma_ but the person backed out really soon before I had to leave.
person B: Oh no! That's awful!  I watch animals for a few different people and I would never do that.  That's very unprofessional. Did they have an emergency?
person A: Something like that_comma_ they were vague.  It was through a company so I couldn't really get much out of them.  Luckily a friend stepped up and watched them for me.
person B: That's ridiculous.  I was going to see who might have helped you.  I'm so glad your friend helped.  Hope you had a great time!
