COMMON QUESTIONS
Practical answers.
Should a dog walking agreement mention off-leash activity?
Yes. State whether it is ever permitted and under what written authorization, local rules and safety conditions.
Can one agreement cover recurring walks?
Yes, if it explains the recurring schedule, billing cycle and how either party changes or ends service.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is an organizational template; have contractual language reviewed for your location and business.
