Liability Waiver

Liability Waiver

I, the undersigned (“Client”), understand and agree to the following in relation to services provided by Tahoe Cuties Pet Professionals (“Provider”):

I confirm my pet(s) are up to date on required vaccinations (including rabies) and are free from contagious illness at the time of service.
I will disclose any medical conditions, medications, or behavioral concerns in advance.

I agree to provide accurate emergency contacts and a preferred veterinarian.
In the event of illness or injury, Provider will attempt to contact me and/or my emergency contact immediately and seek care from my designated veterinarian if feasible.
If my veterinarian is unavailable, or if immediate care is required, I authorize Provider to use the nearest available veterinary facility.
I accept full financial responsibility for all veterinary costs incurred.

I acknowledge that pets may act unpredictably and release Provider from liability for injury, loss, or damage caused by my pet(s) during care.
I am responsible for any damages my pet(s) may cause to third parties, other animals, or property.

If services take place at my home, I grant Provider permission to enter solely for the purpose of caring for my pet(s).
Provider will take reasonable care but is not responsible for unavoidable accidents or minor damage.

I understand there are inherent risks of illness or injury when pets interact with other animals or environments.
Provider is not responsible for illnesses, parasites, or conditions contracted despite reasonable care and precautions.

I authorize Provider to arrange for a trusted substitute sitter/walker if necessary (illness, emergency, etc.), under the same terms and conditions.

I understand that severe weather (snow, ice, wildfire, road closures, etc.) may delay or prevent services.
Provider will make reasonable efforts to reach my pet(s), but I will not hold Provider liable for delays or missed visits caused by conditions beyond their control.

I agree to provide secure, properly fitted collars, harnesses, and leashes appropriate to my pet.
Provider is not responsible for escape or injury resulting from faulty, ill-fitting, or damaged equipment provided by Client.

Provider is not responsible for illness, injury, or conflict resulting from interactions between pets within my household or guest animals not under Provider’s care.

Provider may photograph pets during care for updates and promotional use. Photos will not include identifiable home information.
(Optional: Clients may decline promotional use by notifying Provider in writing.)

Provider agrees to safeguard all keys, lockbox codes, and entry details.
Provider is not responsible for lock malfunctions, alarm system failures, or home issues beyond their control.

Provider is not liable for injury, escape, loss, or death of pet(s) beyond reasonable control (natural disasters, accidents, theft, other animals, etc.).
I release Provider from any and all claims except those arising from gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

By booking services, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agree to this waiver.
