Why document pet incidents in writing?

A written incident report protects both the pet care professional and the pet owner. It creates a clear, timestamped record of what happened, what action was taken, and who was notified — which is essential if an insurance claim or veterinary follow-up is needed.

Providing a written report immediately after an incident signals professionalism and helps maintain client trust even when something goes wrong.

Frequently asked questions

What types of incidents should I document?
Document any incident that could affect the pet's health, safety, or the client relationship: injuries (cuts, limping, vomiting), escapes or near-escapes, dog bites (to people or other animals), property damage, and any situation where a vet visit was recommended or taken.
Do I need to send the incident report to the pet owner?
Yes. Notify the pet owner as soon as possible after an incident and follow up with a written report the same day. Transparency maintains trust and is required by many pet sitter insurance policies.
