Taiwan Strait Network reported on November 3rd, according to Xiamen Daily, what should I do if I am busy with work and have no time to feed cats or walk my dog? Recently, some citizens discovered that there was a professional "pet companion teacher" (also known as pet tutor) on the online platform, which could help solve the problem of taking care of pets, but because they had to come to help with care, some citizens also questioned whether there were safety issues. The reporter investigated and learned about the situation and asked a professional lawyer to conduct an analysis.
Recently, on the online shopping platform, I searched for keywords such as "dog walking on behalf of others" and "pet companionship", and many links popped up. I randomly clicked on one of the links. The reporter found that the store provided dog walking on behalf of others, with a price of 30 yuan per half an hour. At the same time, I also provided help to clean the scene after the dog "demolition of homes" and ventilate. However, the store stated that consumers were required to provide a vaccination certificate for their dogs, and only those who were non-aggressive were allowed to receive the order.
In another business link that provides door-to-door cat feeding, the other party indicates that it provides door-to-door cat litter, feeding and playing with cats, and the fee is about 50 yuan a day.
The peak consumption period is mostly during the Chinese New Year and large holidays. Many people travel and ask us to take care of our pets at home. "According to the store, most of the people who come to buy these services are frequent business trips. Some of them even purchase monthly services because they are worried that their pets are not at home and are unattended.
The reporter learned from a merchant that the door-to-door service requires the buyer to provide the home key or door-opening password. Although the staff will record videos at home, they promise not to move the items at home. However, the reporter found that most of these stores are pet shop staff and have not reported personnel in the relevant departments.
[Lawyer Reminder]
can easily cause property damage
breed safety hazards
reporter contacted Xu Dong, a lawyer at Beijing Yingke (Xiamen) Law Firm for consultation. Xu Dong believes that the risks of pet feeding services are mainly as follows:
First, Door-to-door feeding service may cause safety hazards for buyers' property and pets, because it is impossible to guarantee whether the person who comes to feed has subjective malicious intention to steal or damage the property at home, injure or steal pets.
Second, this service may also cause safety hazards for pet owners in the future. After feeding the keys of the house directly to the pet owner, if the pet feeder has intention of criminalizing the crime, it may directly copy the keys, which will facilitate the crime and will cause serious safety hazards to the buyer and other third parties.
Third, the pet owner provides door-to-door service due to negligence and causes loss of guests, such as forgetting to close the water, causing water to the house, forgetting to close the door, causing property damage. Sign an agreement to verify identity
Strengthen safety precautions
The pet owner is a pet owner While people provide convenience, pet owners should also continuously strengthen their awareness of self-safety prevention.
First, pet owners should avoid delivering the house key directly to the other party. The key is replicable. If the other party has an illegal purpose, it will pose a threat to the property and personal safety in the house. Reasonable methods should be adopted, such as seeking a trusted family to keep the keys and supervising the pet feeding process.
Secondly, when accepting pet feeding services, it is necessary to sign a written service agreement. The rights and obligations of both parties can be clarified, verify the other party's identity information, and actively promote the performance of the contract.
Finally, the market supervision and management department should increase supervision and management of pet home feeding service workers, formulate industry standards, improve the identity verification procedures for practitioners, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers from infringement.
