Seasonal Weather Considerations
We reserve the right to adjust our services based on weather. In the summer and winter outdoor time may be adjusted for the welfare of your dog or our team members. In the winter, clients are responsible for making sure that their walkways, driveways and sidewalks are cleared so that we can safely access your home and enter and exit with your dog. Slippery or Icy conditions may delay or shorten your service time. If your pathways are unsafe for us to pass, we will notify you so that you may have it addressed before your next service date.
