We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but please notify us as early as possible to avoid cancellation fees. Your pets’ well-being is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding of our cancellation policy.

As you know, the colder weather poses certain challenges, both for us and your pets. For safety reasons, we reserve the right to shorten walks if weather conditions, such as heavy snowfall or extreme cold, make it unsafe for both the dogs and ourselves to stay outside for the full duration of the walk.

 

Please rest assured that your pets’ well-being is our top priority. Your dog will always get a potty break outside regardless of the weather but in the event that a walk is cut short due to weather conditions, we will spend the remaining time indoors engaging your pet in mentally stimulating activities. This could include interactive indoor games, puzzle toys, lots of pets and belly rubs and positive reinforcement training, ensuring that your pet receives the mental exercise they need to stay happy and healthy.

 

Winter also brings potential traffic delays, we want to highlight that we cannot guarantee specific walk times as traffic conditions may affect the scheduled time of the walk.

For our pet sitting and house sitting services, payment is typically required up front, unless the stay is longer than two weeks. In that case, we request half of the payment at the beginning of the stay and the remaining half in the middle.

 

For our dog walking and drop-in services, we send invoices at the end of each week. This allows you to review the services provided before making a payment. Invoices for dog walks are sent on a weekly basis for your convenience. If you have any specific billing questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

We are beyond excited to announce that we now have a package option for our 60 min pack walks. Our pricing for dog walks can be found on our website, where you’ll find transparent and competitive rates. However, we do offer an addition set of discounts and packages for our house sitting and pet boarding services. If you’re interested in these, please visit our website or contact us for more details.

We do apply holiday rates to our services. If your house sitting or pet boarding stay lands on a holiday during its duration, there will be an additional charge of $10/per day added on top of the base rate. As for dog walks and drop-in visits or any other services that land on a holiday, there will be an additional $5 charge to the service. We aim to provide the best care for your pets during holidays when our team is working to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve.
