Contact the agency and insist on a replacement.

However, do realize that it is not her job to feed pets. If her reason for being there is to help you, and not your husband, then it is not her job to do your husband’s tasks. He can wash his own dishes and laundry. My grandmother had a home health aide for years. She made of list of what she expected to be done and the aide did that. All the cleaning would be done, then she went grocery shopping. After the grocery shopping was done and everything put away, she would sit and chat with my grandmother over a cup of coffee – this helped to evaluate my grandmother, who was subject to mini-strokes.
