– I understand and agree that due to the inherent nature of dogs, my dog(s) may injure itself or be injured by another dog despite the exercise of reasonable and diligent care by Rover Retreat, and hereby voluntarily assume the risk of any such damage or injury.
– You will be contacted if we seek veterinary care for your dog(s).

– I understand and agree that during my dog(s) stay at Rover Retreat, he/she will be in direct contact with other dogs in the common area. I understand that in any group environment dogs may be exposed to communicable diseases, just like kids in school. This includes (but is not limited to) illnesses like kennel cough. You are encouraged to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about this with a Rover Retreat employee. As hard as we work to prevent illness through vaccinations, cleaning and sanitizing, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR DOG WILL NOT BECOME SICK!

If we see any discomfort in your dog we will try various alternatives – including crates – to see where your dog is most comfortable. We always try a new situation for a dog over nap time during the week to make sure they are resting. If you do NOT want us to try your dog in a crate, please inform us now.
