Compensation and Pricing

Clients residing within Wyton on the Hill (Hereinafter referred to as “WOTH”) get a special discount on our dog walking and pet sitting services. As we won’t need to drive to their address, this helps us keep our costs down and pass the savings on to the Owner.

Prices within WOTH are as follows:

30 minute pet visit: £10

House sitting per 12 hours: £50

Prices outside WOTH are as follows:

30 minute pet visit: £12

House sitting per 12 hours: £60

By signing our contract, the Owner is accepting the pricing above. The Sitter must give the Owner at least a 2 month notice if the prices were to change in the future. Our contracts still remain valid when/if our prices change in the future. If the Owner is unhappy with future price increases then they are welcome to terminate our contract and cease working with Woof on the hill as long as they follow the termination terms bellow.

Additional fees may include the purchase of necessary items for the care of the pet(s), including but not limited to pet food, litter or cleaning supplies, transportation, parking, unexpected visits and emergency expenses for health care. The Sitter shall retain and submit receipts as proof of additional expenses.

The term of this Pet Sitting Contract may be extended if requested by the Owner and so accepted by the Sitter.

The onus shall be on the Owner to confirm his/her return and his/her availability to resume care of the property and pet(s) prior to or on the last day of this contract term failing which the Sitter may perform additional visits in the interest of the pet(s).

Cancellation or Termination

Either party may terminate this Pet Sitting Contract a minimum of 48 (forty-eight) hours prior to the first scheduled visit without incurring penalties or damages. Failure by the Owner to cancel by giving the minimum notice required or any cancellation during recognized holiday periods will result in a 30% cancellation fee of the total amount due, unless such cancellation is caused by severe weather, death in the family or a medical emergency.

Where the Sitter as sole proprietor needs to cancel later than 48 hours prior to the Owner's departure due to unforeseen circumstances, he/she may appoint a substitute with the written approval of the Owner and any difference in the fees charged shall be for the account of the Sitter.

If the Owner fails to pay Sitter after 3 reminders then the Sitter may cancel all future appointments and may terminate the contract if a deal is not struck to pay what is owed. Keys left with the Sitter will be returned within 48 hours of termination or when the contract ends. Should any pet become aggressive or dangerous, the Sitter may:
