POLICIES & PROCEDURES

Scheduling and Visit times: I strive to accommodate the needs of your pet(s). I will provide a time interval during which visits will occur. If an unforeseen situation arises, the time interval may be adjusted.

Early Returns/Last minute Changes: Should you need to cancel or make any changes to the services provided, I ask that you contact me with 24 hours notice as a courtesy. You will not be charged for any cancelations. Should you need to extend the time of services, I will do my best to accommodate you. This may mean changing the type, time, or interval of these services according to my availability.
Inclement Weather: 1) Every effort will be made to drive to your home; 2) The service schedule may be changed, interrupted, or altered due to circumstances; 3) If it is not possible to drive to your home, your emergency contact will be notified; 4) You will be notified if this occurs. Please provide an emergency contact.
Pet Guardianship: In the unfortunate event that you become incapacitated while your pet(s) are in my care, please name the person(s) who should be contacted to become the guardian and take over the care of your pet(s) until care can be provided as arranged for in other legal documents prepared by you.

Medication/Vaccinations: I am very experienced at administering medications and usually have no problems, but cannot be held responsible for complications that arise as a result. Should there be a problem administering the medication, I will notify you. Administration of medications are at an extra charge that will be factored into the total visit/stay fee. This charge may vary depending on how difficult the pet is to medicate. I ask that all pets under my care are vaccinated for Rabies. Should the pet(s) not be current on their rabies vaccination(s), please inform me ahead of time as this puts me at greater risk.
Destruction of Property by Pet(s): Pets can sometimes become sick, have accidents in the house, or behaviorally destruct items within their reach. I will do my best to prevent your pet from destructing property and/or clean up any property including but not limited to: carpets, furniture, house hold items, etc; to the best of my ability. However, should your pet(s) soil or destruct any of your property I can not be held liable for any of these items. Please keep any valuable items out of reach of your pets while under my care and leave cleaning items in a place I can easily find them.
Destruction of Property due to Inclement Weather and Other Incidents: Unforeseen weather may occur while your pet(s) are under my care. Please be sure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent any damage to your home. I can not be held liable for damaged items or other property should anything happen while you’re gone.
Unforeseen Purchases: I will purchase pet food, litter, or other necessary items that contribute to the health and wellbeing of your pet during your absence if they run out or are not provided. I will retain a receipt and the pet owner is responsible for reimbursement of these items.

Should this be necessary, you will be contacted immediately.Company Name:___________________________________Contact Person:_________________________Phone Number:_______________________________Alternate Number:__________________________
