The Dog Walking Service Agreement outlines the policies and procedures for dog walking services in Michigan. It establishes the roles and responsibilities of both the Service Provider and the Client, detailing service rates, cancellation policies, and requirements for both parties. Clients must provide advance notice for service suspensions, while the Service Provider will arrange for substitute walkers if needed. The document includes indemnification clauses and emphasizes that the Service Provider operates as an independent contractor, not an employee of the Client. Key features include conditions for service cancellations, insurance against liability, and requirements for the Client’s provision of necessary supplies for dog care. This agreement is especially useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in the pet service industry as it helps them understand legal obligations and liability issues underpinning pet care services. By utilizing this template, legal professionals can ensure compliance with state laws and effectively manage service agreements, minimizing risks and safeguarding the interests of both clients and service providers.
