Pet Sitting Consent & Emergency Form

About this template

A pet sitter takes on someone's home and their animal at the same time, and this single-page consent form documents both so nothing depends on a remembered conversation. It records the owner's travel dates and how to reach them abroad, an alternative contact with authority to make decisions, and the animals being cared for with feeding times, portion sizes, medication and litter or toileting routines. A household section covers heating, alarm codes, bins, plants, post and any areas of the house that are off limits, which is where most sitting disputes actually start. The veterinary block names the practice, the policy or account details, an emergency spending limit and explicit written authority for the sitter to seek treatment if the owner cannot be reached. The agreement confirms insurance expectations, key return and the cancellation policy, and is signed on screen. Print it for your records or keep it in the submission archive as evidence that instructions were given and accepted before the stay began.
