DOCUMENT MARKETPLACE
Business documents made easy!When you go to the market you don’t put one of everything in your cart. You pick and choose only the items you need.
When you start a business it’s the same thing. You need all kinds of documents (forms, policies, templates, procedures, and agreements). You may have some of these already and just need a few to fill in the gaps. You may be just starting out and need all of these.
I’ve created this Document Marketplace to get you going quickly with exactly what you need!

Client Facing Documents
Company Policies
Provide your clients with a comprehensive list of your company policies. This form includes policies for company hours, scheduling, inclement weather, access to client’s home, leash use, animal behavior, fenced yards, pet and house clean up, client privacy, payment, cancellation, medication/vaccines, fleas, keys, minimum visits, outdoor cats and refusal of service. This form is fully customizable to your company name and logo.
Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service Agreement
Protect yourself and your company with this thorough service agreement. It covers release of general liability, liability stemming from use of doggie doors, permission for video and photo taking, permission to terminate contract for unsafe situations, permission to place animals in a kennel if needed for safety reasons, agreement to all company policies and permission to enter the property. This form is fully customizable to your company name and logo.
Key Retention Policy
This policy covers a full description including security measures you take when obtaining and keeping a client’s keys. This is a great policy to have if you use lockboxes for your clients but retain a spare key at your office or if you have clients who are unable to have a lockbox and need you to hang onto their key. This form is fully customizable to your company name and logo.
Veterinary Transfer and Treatment Release Form
No one wants the worst to happen. A pet in your care gets sick and needs to go to the vet right away. This involves taking the pet off the premises in your own vehicle to seek treatment that you won’t be paying for. This form covers you and gives you permission from the client for this eventuality. Don’t wait until it happens to plan for it.
Pet Guardianship Form
The unimaginable has happened. While you are caring for a pet, their owner has been in an accident or experienced a medical event that has left them temporarily or permanently unable to care for their pets. Who will take care of their pets? Often this is not the same person as their emergency contact. This form clarifies what you will do in this event and who is authorized to take care of the pets.
Photo and Video Release Form
Pet parents love getting photos and videos of their pets while they’re away and you love taking these photos and videos to use in your social media and other marketing feeds. More and more legal cases are being initiated for the unauthorized use of personal content. Protect yourself by having the client sign this release allowing you to freely use this content.
New Client Meet and Greet Note Taking Form and Checklist
The Meet and Greet is your in-person chance to make a great first impression. Show them that you are a true professional by coming in with the right questions! This form will walk you through questions you should ask a client during the M&G organized into handy categories in the order you should ask them. Clients want to feel confident that you’ll take care of their pets the way they would and you can create this confidence simply by asking the right questions.
