I think one word in this post really sums it up. Toads.
I mean, while it's like - thanks for fixing my sink!, it's also like - wtf I didn't even ask you to?! Are they psychic repairmen now? And even if they somehow did assume there was a problem, or otherwise know, they should still follow practice and give you notice. I don't think that's too much to ask for.
Because exactly like you said, you have animals in there. And mine is like the orange one and I know he'd zoom out into the hall and be on his merry way exploring if someone left the door open - the dude has tried to chase pizza delivery guys before. So having some warning so you can lock the monsters away is ESSENTIAL. And I'm like you and really prefer to tidy up a bit and just know when they're coming in, so really, how hard would that be for them?
And the wet towel and rug bit, that's just plain impolite. Really? You're a handyman and you don't keep old rags and such on your tool cart? Uncool.
