New Guest Care & Boarding Contract

I do hereby entrust Alexandria Pet Inn (API) to care for my pet(s) and agree to the terms listed below.

• Ownership: I am the sole owner of this pet or the owner’s agent, and board this pet with the owner's permission.

• Payment: All charges incurred are due before this pet is released for departure. I will provide a current credit card number and a one-night deposit. I authorize any unpaid balance to be charged to my card during this pet’s stay or before departure.

• Special Care: If my pet requires special care, I authorize API to provide that care. I agree to pay all costs for special services rendered.

• Pet Belongings: I agree that API is not responsible for loss or damage of my pet’s personal belongings. I will provide identification on all belongings left with my pet.

• Damage and Injury: I agree that I will pay the costs of any and all damage or injuries my pet may cause to people, other animal guests, or the premises.

• Pet Condition: If my pet has fleas or ticks, is odorous or dirty, I authorize and agree to pay API for bathing and/or CapstarTM upon entry or as needed if my pet becomes soiled.

• Illness or Injury: If my pet becomes ill or injured, I authorize API, at its sole discretion, to engage the veterinarian of their choice if my regular veterinarian is unavailable. I authorize medical treatment and agree to pay all costs for that care. I authorize my veterinarian to release my pet’s medical and inoculation records to API or any of its agents. I authorize API to administer OTC or prescription medicine, and to give other requisite attention to my pet.

• Inoculations: My pet’s inoculations are current. (Dogs must have Bordetella.)

• Safety and Health: I acknowledge that API exercises extreme due diligence in keeping pets safe and healthy, but injury or illness may occur and I hold API harmless.

• Reservation Changes: I agree to pay for all days reserved, unless I give API 24 hours’ notice of any changes (48 hours for holidays), including dates, late arrivals, and early departures.

• Minimum Holiday Charge: I agree to pay a 3-night minimum charge during all major holiday weeks. New clients are charged a 3-night nonrefundable deposit.

• Arrival & Departure Day Charges: I will pay for the date of arrival, regardless of arrival time. I understand that check-out is 11 a.m. I will not be charged for departure day if I pick up my pet before 11 a.m. Weekends: Saturday arrival with Sunday departure = 2-days.

• Lobby Hours: I will abide by API’s lobby hours. Monday–Friday, 9-11 a.m. and 4-6 p.m.; Saturday 9-11 a.m. only; Sunday CLOSED, with courtesy valet pet pick-up 4:30-5:30 p.m. All Sunday departures are charged for the day.
