Weather Policies & Procedures

Hot Weather Policy 

I bring a water bowl & water bottle. I stick to routes I know with water fountains close by, 

Depending on temperature walks may be shortened & you'll be notified after observing your dog(s).

Cold Weather Policy 

When temperatures drop to -10 degrees or wind chills of -20 degrees or below occur, I will cancel all walking services for the day to protect myself and your dog in my care.

Pawjama parties will remain on schedule. The temperature forecast for the following day will be used to determine if the Cold Weather Policy will go into effect so that as much notice can be given if walks need to be cancelled.

Snowed In Policy

Snowfall may impact availability, as it accumulates and the time it takes for i to be removed. Walking services will be cancelled in the event there is accumulation of 10" or greater overnight or in a short period of time.

 As much notice as possible will  be given if walks need to be cancelled but some may be a day-of cancelation. Pawjama parties will remain on schedule.

Other Cold Weather Tips

Please provide coats, booties, and other cold weather gear necessary for your pet, and also a towel to clean them up after the walk.  

If you use a lock box for keys, please ensure it is functioning (not frozen) on cold weather/snowy days and not buried by ice or snow. 

If I arrive and unable to gain entry due to a malfunctioning or inaccessible lock box, a $25 fee will be requested of you.
