8.- Do you conduct walks in inclement weather (snow, ice, etc)?

Yes, just like the mailman we always come through. We do realize that pets may not enjoy such harsh weather so walks may be shorter at those times. Also we will do our best to stick to the agreed upon schedule.

As a common courtesy, we appreciate as much notice as possible but do realize that some emergencies cannot be helped. Midday walks require a 24 hour cancellation notice for no fee to be charged. Cancellation with less than 24 hour notice may be charged a cancellation fee.

Each dog will have a back up walker assigned. The client will always have the opportunity to meet the back up walker before any emergencies arise.
