Overview

A clear contract is what lets a pet sitter say yes to the vet, handle a lockout or charge a cancellation fee without an argument. This one is written in plain English and covers rates and deposit, booking dates, care instructions, keys, vet emergencies, medication, vaccinations and behavior, holidays and weather, liability, cancellations and photos.

It comes with 3 pages of client policies, a one-page summary of your fees, a vet release with a treatment limit, a key form and a meet and greet checklist. Change the bracketed parts and it's yours.
