We value transparency, so we will keep the client informed about the situation.

Additionally, if our Pet Sitter is injured, bitten or exposed to any disease, ailment, or injury related to the Client's animal or premises, the Client will be responsible for any related costs and damaged incurred by the Pet Sitter.

Just Four Paws maintains the right to terminate any pet care contract prior to or during its term if it is determined that the pet poses a risk to the safety or health of the pet sitter. In such case, the pet sitter will not be allowed to care for the pet. If this occurs, the client authorized the pet to be placed in a kennel, and all expenses incurred will be charged to the client.
