Questions

Do pet sitters need a written agreement?

It is not always legally required, but a signed agreement prevents disputes over fees, cancellations and emergency care. Check your local rules and insurer, and consider asking a solicitor or attorney to review your final version.

What should a pet sitting agreement include?

Pet and owner details, care instructions, vet and emergency contacts, fees and payment terms, cancellation policy, consent for emergency treatment and signatures from both sides.
