nauctavia: How do how cat sitting services place liability on the pet owner in the case of flea infestation?
I’m setting up a cat sitting service, and need information on:

1.) At least two other ways (apart from deposits and contracts) that cat sitting services place liability on the pet owner in the case that there is a flea infestation (of staff and premises) from a client’s cat.

2.) How much they charge the client for a deposit to cover possible flea infestation.

Take a look at the pet sitting market and get some ideas from them. Call up a few of the sitting services and ask about the pricing for flea infestation scenarios.

Most boarding locations will not accept a pet that does have a flea problem. That is done to prevent other pets from developing flea problems and to keep the staff healthy.

If you are able to obtain a copy of a pet sitting agreement from one of the established firms, you would have a better legal idea of what you are dealing with.
