Pet-Sitting Agreement
A pet-sitting agreement sets dates, pay, feeding, and what the sitter may approve at a vet. It is not a transfer of the animal. Say where the food is, what the animal may not eat, and who to call if the animal gets out. Pay and cancelation should be written. If the sitter is a minor, a parent of that minor should know. Do not leave a key arrangement that you would not want written down, such as a hidden key everyone on the block knows about. Say "key handed to the sitter" instead.
For an owner and a sitter. When: before the first day of sitting.
Naming a state changes the note on the page. It does not add that state's required clauses, fees, or font rules. Papero does not invent statutes.
9 lines are still blank. You can still print. Write "not applicable" on a line that does not apply.
Leaving this page clears what you typed. Papero does not save it. On a shared computer, press Clear before you walk away.

Why this form exists, and what it will not do
Pet-Sitting Agreement is for an owner and a sitter. The moment to use it: before the first day of sitting. It sits in the Pets group on Papero. Adoption questions, vet consent, and pet-sitting terms.
Fill it in this browser. Papero does not create an account, does not upload the answers, and does not keep a copy after you close the tab. When the preview looks right, print it or download a PDF. The PDF is built on your device. A blank download leaves the lines empty so someone else can fill them by hand.
Work through the page in order. The People section asks for Owner, Sitter. The Pet section asks for Pets. The Stay section asks for From, Until, Pay. The Care section asks for Feeding and medicine, Vet and spending limit, Backup person.
Owner. Name and phone. Sitter. Name and phone. Pets. Names, species, and notes. From. Start. Until. End.
Pay. Amount and when it is paid. Feeding and medicine. The actual instructions. Vet and spending limit. Clinic, phone, and the most the sitter may approve. Backup person. If the sitter cannot continue.
People send this back, or refuse it, for ordinary reasons. Vet permission is unlimited. Feeding instructions are missing. There is no backup if the sitter gets sick. Read the finished page once as if you were the person receiving it. If a line would make you call back, fill that line.
Sign on the Owner signature and Sitter signature and Date line. A typed name in the signature spot is weaker than ink on a printed page. Date it the day you sign, not the day you hope the other person signs.
What this page cannot do: Shelters and landlords often have their own adoption or pet application. Use this when they accept a plain form. A vet consent lets a named sitter authorize routine care. It does not make the sitter the owner. Papero is not a law firm, not a government agency, and not the office that will accept or reject the paper.
State note for your state. Pet-Sitting Agreement does not contain your state's required clauses, font size, language, or filing fee. Counties and cities inside your state sometimes add their own rule on top of the state. Before you rely on this for a lease, a school, a court, a bank, or an agency, compare it with the form that office publishes. If the office has no form, this template is a clear record of what you wrote and what you signed on this date.
After you print, use dark ink. Write "not applicable" on a line that does not apply, so a clerk does not treat a blank as a missing fact. Initial a correction beside the line. Do not cover a dollar amount with correction fluid. Each person who has a signature line signs their own name. One person cannot sign for another unless a statutory power of attorney, on the form that office accepts, already says so. Give the other party a copy the same day. On your copy, note the date and whether you handed it over, mailed it, or uploaded it to their portal. Attach copies of supporting papers, not your only original, unless the office demanded the original. Do not attach a Social Security card, a passport image, or a bank statement unless the recipient told you to, and then only in person or through their secure portal. Email is a common way those images are stolen. If the recipient is a government office, stop and use the form on that office's own site. Papero does not transmit this page, does not notarize it, and does not store it.
Keep a copy. Give the other party a copy. If you later change a fact, fill the form again and date the new copy. Do not scribble a second story into the margin of a page someone already signed. Write the date you handed it over, and how, on your own copy.
