I represent a diverse mix in a vast array of specialties, including litigation, contracts, compliance, business and financial strategies, and emerging industries. Credit for this foundation of strength goes to those who taught me. Skilled professors and professionals fostered my powerful educational and professional background. Prior to law school, I earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration & Accounting from Peru State College. I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Chadron State College. My ambitions did not stop there. While working full time as a Senior Accountant for the University of Missouri, Columbia, I achieved the lifelong goal of becoming a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Mizzo provided excellent opportunities and amazing experiences. Managing over $50M in government and private research funding was a gift. As a high ranking professional in the Department of Research, I was given priceless insight into the greatest scientific, journalistic, medical, and legal minds in the world. My passion for successful growth did not, and has not stopped. I graduated summa cum laude (top 3%) with a Doctorate in Law, emphasizing in urban, land use and environmental/toxic tort law from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. This success lead to invaluable experiences of serving as Hon. Brian C. Wimes' judicial clerk for the U.S. District Court for the W. D. of Missouri, as a staff editor/writer for UMKC Law Review, and as a litigation and transactional attorney with Lathrop GPM (fka Lathrop & Gage). My professional and personal network is expansive, with established relationships throughout the U.S. and overseas. Although I engage in legal practice all over the country, I maintain law licenses in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Federally, I hold licenses in the W.D. and E.D. of Missouri and the District of Nebraska. To offer extra value, efficiency, and options, I maintain a CPA license and am obtaining a real-estate brokerage license.

Pet Sitting
Pet Care Agreement
Massachusetts
What are the key elements to include in a Pet Care Agreement?
I am in the process of finalizing arrangements for a pet sitter to take care of my dog while I am away on a business trip, and I want to ensure that I have a legally binding agreement in place that outlines the responsibilities, expectations, and liabilities of both parties involved. I am seeking guidance on what specific provisions should be included in a Pet Care Agreement to protect the well-being of my pet and address any potential issues that may arise during the pet sitting period.
Randy M.
Leaving your dog in someone else’s hands, even a trusted sitter, can be nerve-wracking. You’re not just handing over a leash; you’re placing your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine in someone else’s care. A written Pet Care Agreement isn’t just a formality. It’s clarity, protection, and peace of mind. Here’s what your agreement should include and why it matters in the real world. For the contract to be legally sound, it must include a few basic elements: the full names and contact information for both parties, a detailed list of services, payment terms, and signatures from both sides. While no federal law governs pet sitting contracts, every state has general contract laws that apply. If your agreement reflects mutual understanding, a lawful purpose, and consideration (like payment for services), it will likely be enforceable. Start by identifying everyone involved. Include complete contact details for yourself and the sitter. For your pet, list everything from their name, breed, and age to their medical needs, behavior quirks, and habits. The more you include, the less chance there is for confusion or mistakes. Spell out exactly what the sitter will be doing. Include the dates and times they’ll be responsible, how many visits per day, feeding times, walking routines, medication instructions, and any house rules like no off-leash walks or no visits to certain areas. Don’t leave anything open to interpretation. If you expect something, put it in writing. Emergencies can happen, and this is one of the most important parts of your agreement. Clearly authorize your sitter to get veterinary help if you can’t be reached. Include your preferred vet’s contact information, an emergency clinic as backup, and a spending cap for non-life-threatening situations. This protects both your dog’s health and your sitter’s legal ability to act if something goes wrong. Your agreement should also clearly outline payment terms. Include the total fee, when and how payment should be made, and what happens if plans change. If your trip runs long or short, or if additional services are added, clarify how those adjustments will be handled. Avoid last-minute misunderstandings by stating everything upfront. Include language that addresses liability. Your sitter shouldn’t be responsible for issues related to pre-existing conditions or unavoidable incidents, but they should be expected to provide care that meets reasonable standards. You should also clarify that you’re responsible for any damage or injuries your dog causes to other people or property during the sitter’s care. Make sure to define how the sitter will access your home. Outline which areas they can enter, any rules for using your property, and expectations for privacy and key return. Even small details like this matter, especially if something is lost, broken, or misused during the visit. Legally, even though pet sitting isn’t regulated under federal law, your agreement still falls under standard contract law in your state. Courts will usually honor a written agreement that is clear, legal, and entered into by consenting adults. If your sitter is a professional or operates a business, check whether state or local rules require them to carry specific insurance or licenses. If so, you might want to request proof of that coverage. It’s also wise to include a few additional protections. Ask your sitter to notify you immediately of any injuries, accidents, or behavior issues. Include a termination clause so both parties understand how to cancel the agreement, under what conditions, and what happens in terms of payment if that occurs. Don’t wait until the night before your trip. Draft the agreement early, give everyone time to review it, and keep signed copies for both parties. If there’s a significant financial component or long-term care involved, consider having the document notarized for added clarity. A Pet Care Agreement isn’t just a legal form. It’s a practical tool that builds trust, ensures consistency, and shows you take your pet’s care seriously. Investing a little time in getting it right can go a long way toward making sure your dog gets exactly the care they need while you’re away.
