A Pet Care Agreement allows you to formally appoint a trusted individual to care for your pets, either during your lifetime or following your death. It sets out the scope of their responsibilities, expectations for daily care, and any special instructions tailored to your pets’ personalities, routines, or medical requirements.

The agreement may be used alongside your Will or as part of a broader estate planning strategy. It provides clarity for all parties involved and ensures your pets are not left vulnerable to informal or unsuitable arrangements. Where appropriate, it can also include provisions for substitute guardians or transitional care.
