What a PetNanny care contract actually covers

Every booking generates a real, downloadable contract — not a formality. Here's exactly what's in it and why each section exists.

PetNanny Team · 22 July 2026

It's generated automatically, from the real booking

Every accepted PetNanny booking gets its own contract, available as a PDF from the booking's own page. It isn't a template you fill in yourself — it's built from the actual details of the booking: who's involved, what was agreed, and when. Once generated, it's frozen to what was true at booking time, so a later profile edit or price change elsewhere in the app never rewrites a contract that's already been agreed.

Who's who

The Parties section names the pet owner and the assigned nanny by their PetNanny accounts, not just a first name — useful if a dispute ever needs a clear record of exactly who agreed to what.

The service and schedule

This section states the exact service booked (dog walking, overnight, day care, drop-in, or grooming), the dates or recurring schedule, and the agreed price — locked in at the price that applied when the booking was made, even if the nanny's listed rate changes later.

The pet care sheet

This is the part most owners care about most: feeding instructions, medication (with dose and timing), your pet's regular vet, behavioral notes, and an emergency contact — all pulled from the care profile you filled in for your pet, not retyped from scratch for every booking.

Emergency veterinary authorization

A dedicated section states the amount you've pre-authorized for emergency vet spending if your pet needs urgent care and you can't be reached in time. This is the one piece of a PetNanny booking that exists specifically so a nanny is never left guessing how much they're allowed to spend on your behalf in an emergency.

Keys, access, price, and signatures

Rounding out the contract: how the nanny gets in if needed, the final agreed price, PetNanny's standard terms, and a signatures section recording that both sides agreed.

What it isn't

The contract is written in both Lithuanian and English side by side, and it's a genuinely useful record — but it hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer, and it isn't a substitute for legal advice in a serious dispute. Think of it as a clear, honest paper trail for the ordinary case, not a binding legal instrument for the extraordinary one.

Browse nannies and every booking you make will come with one of these automatically — no extra step required.
