booking or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Scope of Services
Violet Pet Care provides non-medical pet care services, which may include (as
applicable to your booking): dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, exercise, playtime, basic
grooming (brushing, shaving), and administration of routine, pre-measured medication
as instructed by the Client (see Section 3).
2. No Medical Treatment
Violet Pet Care is not a veterinary service and does not provide medical treatment,
diagnosis, or veterinary care of any kind. Specifically:
Our staff are not licensed veterinarians or veterinary technicians.
We do not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice regarding any pet’s health
condition. We do not perform medical procedures, including but not limited to injections
(except pre-filled insulin pens or similar devices explicitly authorized in writing by
the Client and prescribed by a veterinarian), wound treatment, or emergency
medical intervention. In the event of illness, injury, or a suspected medical emergency, our sole
responsibility is to make reasonable efforts to contact the Client and/or transport the
pet to the nearest available veterinary clinic or emergency animal hospital at the
Client’s expense. The Client is solely responsible for ensuring their pet is up to date on vaccinations, in
good health, and fit to receive the Services booked.
3. Routine Medication Administration
If the Client requests that we administer routine medication (e.g., oral tablets, topical
treatments) as directed by a veterinarian, we will do so only:
With clear written instructions provided by the Client;
Using medication supplied by the Client in its original, labeled packaging; and
On the understanding that Violet Pet Care assumes no liability for adverse reactions,
missed doses due to pet non-cooperation, or outcomes related to the medication
itself. This does not constitute medical treatment and does not create a veterinary-client
relationship.
4. Emergencies
In a medical emergency, Violet Pet Care will attempt to contact the Client and any
emergency contacts and/or the Client’s designated veterinarian. If we cannot reach you
promptly, we may authorize emergency veterinary care at a licensed facility at our
discretion, with all costs to be borne by the Client. Violet Pet Care is not liable for the
outcome of any emergency veterinary treatment.

of the pet prior to service; Provide accurate emergency contact and veterinarian information;
Ensure the pet is current on required vaccinations;
Provide adequate food, medication, equipment, and supplies for the duration of
care.

Violet Pet Care is fully insured. We will exercise reasonable care in providing the
Services. However, we are not liable for:
Pre-existing medical conditions or illnesses not disclosed by the Client;
Injury, illness, or death arising from conditions outside our reasonable control;
Any consequence of the Client’s failure to disclose relevant health or behavioral
information. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of the scheduled service are non-refundable.
Cancellations made more than 48 hours in advance will be eligible for a refund or
rescheduling, at the Client’s option.
