Who Doesn’t Qualify?
Walk needs are sporadic/last minute or not on a set schedule (days/times).
Those who do not book Monday through Friday (5+) walks.
Questions:
What if I normally qualify for the discount, but I need to cancel due to illness,
holiday or vacation? Do I lose my discount?
I have a recurring weekly schedule, but need the occasional weekend or early morning/late evening walks. Are those additional walks available
at the discounted rate as well?
My work schedule changes frequently and I often need less than 5 walks a week.

- Nope! You will not lose your discount due to occasional cancelations.

at the discounted rate as well?
- Yes! Please continue to select our “recurring” (used to be “weekly”) services to receive the discounted rate.
My work schedule changes frequently and I often need less than 5 walks a week.
Do I qualify?
- No. We strive to keep your pup with the same dog walker each visit, but this is made more difficult when the schedule is constantly changing or unknown in advance.
Cancelations and Late Payment:
We realize that schedules can and do change. Notification of cancelation for walks must be received 24 hours in advance. Cancelation of pet sitting services must be received no later than 1 week prior to the first day of scheduled services. A 10% service fee (or $20, whichever amount is greater) of canceled service (pet sitting) will be applied if notification is not received within the requested time frame. $10 fee for canceled walks. If your walker shows up for the appointment, and it is cancelled in person, the full cost of service will be billed.
Payment is due the Monday following services rendered. If payment is more than 4 days late, a $20 late payment fee will be applied.

Additonal Visit(s) for Meeting Staff/Picking up Keys
Our initial consultations are always 100% free! This gives us a chance to meet both you and your pet and go over their needs in more detail. Please have keys (2 sets) available at the time of your consultation.
Should you require an additional meeting, beyond your consultation to either meet with or give keys to your dedicated pet sitter/dog walker, we will schedule a 20min visit for when you are home. This is a great way for your pet sitter/dog walker to meet your pet(s) and ask any questions they might have. For cat sits this is a $12 fee. For dog's it's $16. A brief practice walk is included for dogs.
