Addendum to Service Contract

Overnight Stays
Castle Care, in certain circumstances, provides overnight stays, in the pet sitter's home, to clients
with pets who cannot or should not stay at home alone overnight. Many pets prefer to have
another warm body in the house at night, and many clients feel more secure with the additional
level of security that an overnight stay offers.
The overnight stay fee is $40 per day. This includes the normal two feedings a day and oral
medication (if necessary). However, the pet(s) will be let out for potty breaks as often as the
client would like with no additional fee.
Due to the exclusive nature of overnight bookings, we must decline all requests for overnights
that coincide with the dates you have booked. Therefore, we will charge a cancellation fee if you
need to cancel for any reason.
In order for pets to be accepted for overnight stays they must be:
In good health and up to date on vaccinations
Able to get along with cats, dogs, and small children
Show no aggressive/destructive behaviors
Be properly housebroken/litter trained
A Meet & Greet is necessary before the first overnight stay to ensure the pet(s) and sitter are
compatible. Drop off and pick up of the pet(s) will be arranged at this time.
Any additional requests may be discussed with your pet sitter, and will be considered on a caseby-case basis.

I, ____________________, have read, understand, and agree to these terms for overnight stays
provided by Castle Care.
