The Act doesn't say much about animals except that they can be removed from a building if they are causing a nuisance or health issues for a resident (I think). Stuff like being carried on common property is the domain of by-laws for individual buildings.
Don't know if you can blame the “carer”. The dog's normal owners would probably recognise the signs that a) the dog needed to go walkies NOW!!! and b) it was already too late. Oops!
But have you ever tried to stop a dog in mid-dump?
However, the dog-sitter is responsible for cleaning up the mess. Not necessarily their fault but definitely their problem.
