Parties
Identify the owner and caregiver with full legal names, business names if applicable, and primary contact information for each party.
A clear Pet Care Agreement reduces disputes by documenting expectations, payment, and emergency authority. It provides written vet authorization, sets limits on services, and records special medical needs. Properly executed agreements improve enforceability and evidence in a dispute.
Common signers span owners, professional caregivers, and veterinary providers depending on the arrangement.
Each party's role should be stated clearly to avoid ambiguity about authority and responsibilities.
Identify the owner and caregiver with full legal names, business names if applicable, and primary contact information for each party.
Provide the pet's name, breed, age, color, microchip number, vaccination status, and any medical conditions that affect care.
List specific services, precise dates/times, duration of care, and any limits (e.g., no off-leash walks, no grooming).
Specify total cost, deposit requirements, accepted payment methods, refund policy, late fees, and who pays for emergency care.
Include explicit authorization for veterinary treatment, financial spending limits for emergencies, and who will make urgent medical decisions.
State responsibilities for injury, escape, or property damage, including any disclaimers, limitations of liability, and insurance obligations.
