Dog Walking - FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
If you know the days you will need walks, please let us know in advance. However, we understand that things come up and you may need a walk last minute, and we can cover that, too.
It is best if you can give us at least 48 hours notice so we can coordinate with your walker and get you set up.
We can sometimes accommodate same-day requests, but it is best to book in advance. This is especially the case during our busiest times (holidays & weekends) we may run short on availability.
If you think you might need a dog walk, but you are not sure, go ahead and give us a heads up and we will add a tentative visit to our schedule so you are sure to be covered.
If you need to cancel a visit within 24 hours, calling or texting the office will work the best. You will get an email notification when your visit has been canceled, and any necessary credit will be added onto your account. If your sitter is already on the way to your visit or they are already at your home, no credit will be issued.
- 0-4 hours before the start of service: no credit will be issued.
- 4-12 hours before the start of service: we will place a partial credit of 50% on your account that you can use for future bookings within one year.
- 12+ hours before the start of service: we will place a credit on your account that you can use for future bookings within one year.
Our walkers come during designated time slots. Although we cannot guarantee a specific time, we can shoot for a preferred time when it is requested.
