Client agrees that this number should not be used for any solicitation of future pet sitting or pet care services.  

Client Home Care Needs:

Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC is not responsible for wilted, dead, or otherwise unhealthy plants. Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC sitters will work hard to follow written instructions as precisely as possible but cannot be responsible if the results are not favorable to the Client. Please place all indoor plants together on a waterproof surface in plain sight as your pet sitter is not responsible for water damaged areas or missed plants.

Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC is not responsible for damage to the home beyond the control of the sitter. This includes, but is not limited to, electrical problems, leaks, and acts of nature. All repairs to the home and related fees will be paid by Client or fully reimbursed to Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC within seven (7) days of Client’s return date.

Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC is not responsible for any damage to the property or home of the Client unless such damage was caused by the negligent act of Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC. Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC is not liable for any loss or damage in the event of a burglary or other crime that should have occurred while under this contract. Client agrees to secure home prior to leaving the premises. Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC will attempt to re-secure the home according to Client instructions at the end of each visit.

The client is responsible for pet-proofing the house, yard, and security fences/gates/latches. Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC will not be responsible for the safety of the pet(s) and will not be liable for the death, injury, disappearance, or legal consequences of any pet(s) with unsupervised access to the outdoors.

Visitors:

If anyone will be entering the Client’s home while it is under our care, Client agrees to notify the pet sitter in advance. The pet sitter will not enter a home while visitors are present. Similarly, unless we receive instructions from the Client, we will not grant access to the home to any visitors. The pet sitter will not be held responsible for any damage incurred to the Client’s home or pet(s) by visitors. It is understood that anyone with access to the home will be notified of the pet sitter’s presence and vice versa. The police will be called, without exception, on all intruders or suspicious acts.  

Security/Surveillance/Recording Devices:

All security cameras and surveillance devices will be disclosed to the pet sitter prior to booking. For overnight stays, the use of surveillance devices in guest bedrooms and bathrooms is prohibited. Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC has the right to refuse service to anyone who does not disclose the use of surveillance devices in their home prior to booking.

Pet Illness/Veterinary Care/Restocking Supplies:

The Client is aware of and agrees to the medical costs of any fees should they arise from animal(s) being ill or otherwise needing veterinary care. The Client agrees to pay Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC the sum of $40/per hour should the sitter need to take the pet(s) to the vet. If the sitter needs to restock supplies that the Client agrees to provide, but that are not provided at the time of the sit (such as pet food or medication), Client agrees to reimburse Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC for any supplies purchased.

Services Offered:

Drop-in Pet Care: Drop-ins are ideal for pets who can be left alone for longer periods of time. Specific services can be requested by the client, but I will do a variety of things such as feeding pets, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, checking mail, watering plants, turning lights on/off, & more.

Overnight Stays: Overnight stays are for those who do not want their pet alone throughout the night. I will stay at your home with your pet overnight.

Extended Pet Care: For clients who would like me to spend more time with their pet than a regular drop-in provides. I do not have set pricing for this service as it is based on how long the client will need me. I do not do 24-hour extended care.

Dog Walking: Dog walking can be requested any time of day from 9am to 5pm (depending on my schedule). I offer 30 minute or one-hour walks. Dogs must be leash trained for this service. A bit of pulling is fine, but I may be unable to walk large dogs if they pull excessively.

Pet Waste Removal: Pet waste removal is offered year-round. I do weekly, monthly, or as-needed pet waste removal. Removing waste can sometimes be difficult in the winter months due to the frozen ground and snow. It is best to request this service when your lawn has thawed. I do not offer traditional lawn care services such as lawn mowing, leaf removal, or hedge trimming.

Terms:

The terms of this contract apply to all pets owned by the Client, including all new pets that the Client obtains on or after the date that this contract was signed, at all locations the Client designates for service. By signing below and/or e-mailing a written agreement to the terms of Laramie Valley Pet Sitting LLC, the Client agrees that he/she has read this agreement in its entirety and fully understands and accepts its terms and conditions.  

I have read the above and by signing below, I agree to the conditions listed above:
