But when you need to travel or be away for a while, asking a friend, neighbor, or cat sitter to step in is a great option. In this blog post, we&#8217;ll share the 3 key things to know before having someone look after your cat \u2014 covering standard contracts, care details, and liability risks.

Standard care contract: protecting both parties<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before entrusting a friend, neighbor, or pet sitter with your cat&#8217;s care, it&#8217;s really important to put together a standard contract. This contract should cover the following points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Care period: clearly specify the start and end dates of the care arrangement.<\/li>\n<li>Compensation: agree on the payment method and amount, if applicable.<\/li>\n<li>Emergency contacts: provide emergency contact information for both the owner and the caregiver.<\/li>\n<li>Veterinary care: confirm whether the owner agrees to cover vet costs, and provide the pet&#8217;s medical history.<\/li>\n<li>Care responsibilities: confirm the details of daily care, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having a standard contract in place means both parties are clear on expectations and responsibilities, helping to prevent any potential disputes.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a free, complete <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1EyRNb-AhNRS6a_RjqhqLUQ3xxRvU9xDO\/view?usp=drive_link\">standard contract template<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2896\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fluv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-21-at-6.16.51-PM-1024x870.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fluv.com\/tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-21-at-6.16.51-PM-1024x870.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fluv.com\/tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-21-at-6.16.51-PM-300x255.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fluv.com\/tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-21-at-6.16.51-PM-768x653.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fluv.com\/tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-21-at-6.16.51-PM-809x688.png 809w, https:\/\/www.fluv.com\/tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-21-at-6.16.51-PM.png 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2.
