This Agreement is between "Client(s)" and Good Night Pups "Sitter".
Whereas the Owner desires to retain the Sitter's services, and the Sitter consents to provide them under the terms and conditions outlined in this Pet Sitting Contract as well as the Owner's Information sheet, Pet Information sheet(s), and the Veterinary Release Form, all of which shall be deemed to be a part of this Contract.
In this contract, any references to pets must refer to the animals listed on the Pet Information Form(s).
Relationship and Responsibilities It is well known that the Owner hires the Sitter as an independent contractor, not an employee, and that this is how they will work together.
The Sitter is in charge of all insurance costs as well as any required tax filings and payments, including, if necessary, income taxes. The Owner agrees to give all information required to support the Sitter in providing the agreed-upon services in a timely, trustworthy, and loving manner.
Compensation In exchange for their services, the Sitter shall be compensated in full before services are rendered. Payment shall be made in cash or card only. Only paid in full accounts are guaranteed service dates.
The Sitter will get payment in the amount of emergency day fee prices with no reductions allowed for the Owner's early or late departure. In addition, there may be charges for transportation, unforeseen visits, and unanticipated medical costs as well as the purchase of consumables for the pet(s), such as food, litter, or cleaning products.
In order to demonstrate any additional costs, the Sitter must keep and
submit receipts. The Owner agrees to pay the Sitter, within 14 days of the end of the pet-sitting agreement.
Duration This Pet Sitting Contract shall come into effect on the start date and shall terminate on the end date. If asked by the Owner and agreed to by the Sitter, the duration of this Pet Sitting Agreement may be extended.
Prior to or on the last day of this contract period, the Owner shall be responsible for confirming his or her return and availability to resume care of the property and pet(s), failing which the Sitter may undertake further visits in the pet's best interest(s).
Any additional duties or visits will be compensated at the normal daily rate per day or per
visit.
