Wondering if you could share the paperwork you have dog owners sign before sitting?

Hi there! Read some of your comments and I had issues with dogs damaging my property on another site and switched to rover because it was slightly more host friendly. You seem to be on the ball with keeping yourself taken care of. Was wondering if you wouldnt mind sharing that paperwork you have them sign, don't really know the right words to use in writing my own up.

I have quite a few documents. I got most of my ideas from this rover sitter-to-sitter question forum and also googling documents. I have a vet treatment document as well as a 25 question document for people to tell me everything about their dog from food to health. I also have other forms for other types of animals such as cats and rodents and reptiles. I will go ahead and copy/past my questions I give owners and hopefully it will come to help future sitters. Feel free to give me tips on this to improve it. (Keep in mind I only watch animals at owners houses, not my own). This document below is for a dog, but for other animals you can just adjust the questions.

I googled what documents I wanted to use. There are a lot out there, choose the one that fits the needs of your business. Happy sitting, Amber G

I have an intake questionnaire which covers a variety of topics pertinent to my needs, a vet release for the client's clinic and emergency vet, and a contract covering how and for how long clients' dogs may be left unattended and financial responsibility for damage to my property/residence.

There are many generic templates available; I'd be happy to share some specifics of each document, but all of them would need significant revision to meet your needs.
