If this happens, the pet sitter will notify you and take appropriate action, i.e. consult a vet.
Please make clear agreements with your pet sitter about what to do in case of emergency. Leave an emergency contact in case you yourself can’t be reached, as well as the contact details of your preferred vet.
If it doesn't concern an ongoing health problem from before the booking, The Pawshake Guarantee will cover the vet costs.
In order to make a claim, you will need to provide us with the following information:
- Date of your meet and greet prior to the booking
- Pet owner's email address
- Pet owner's full name
