You represent and affirm that your Pet has not been exposed to rabies, distemper, or parvovirus in the 30 days prior to check-in. If your Pet has recently been treated for a contagious illness, we will not provide Services to your Pet for at least two (2) weeks after treatment has been completed and a statement of health from a licensed veterinarian is provided.

Your Pet must be healthy!

Sole Ownership You represent that you are the owner of the Pet and are authorized to enter into this Agreement. In the case of an ownership (or Pet custody) dispute, Elysiem will require proof of ownership, a written property settlement agreement, or a court decree prior to releasing a Pet to someone claiming to own or have custody of a Pet. You agree to indemnify and hold Elysiem harmless, from and against all loss, damage, or expense, including attorneys’ fees, resulting from misrepresentations by you or your representatives or resulting from Services provided to your Pet including, without limitation, any person claiming to be the owner of your Pet and any person claiming damage or injury caused by your Pet.
