I would definitely say something to her boss---even as a petsitter, you were still her client--she neglected her duty which she was paid for. How could you trust her to watch/take care of your pets at the vet's hospital? Can her boss really trust that she's doing a competent job? I've had to scream bloody murder at my vet because there's one tech who for some reason doesn't do her full duties(I sit there in the office with two dogs, 3 cat carriers and she pulls my chart and says, follow me--how the hell do I do that, lady--get your ass over here and carry two cats for me--she doesn't clean their ears which is included in the office visit until I pointedly ask 3 times--after the vet has told her once to do it and then leaves the room)....yes you definitely need to vent but to someone who will inform this woman a job is a job, it's called work not fun, one is not going to "fun" they are going to "work" to get paid. She endangered your pets.
