Dog Walking FAQ
Questions? CONTACT US
What time will my sitter arrive?
We schedule services in time blocks. We will take into account your preferred start time, but we cannot guarantee exact start times due to our daily route and unforeseen circumstances including traffic and other scheduled services sometimes needing more time. Pets with strict medication times and crated dogs are given priority and we will aim to arrive within a 1 hour time window. Vet/groomer visits and pet taxi are also given priority times. Private walks are scheduled during the morning – afternoon or evening time blocks. Please note that private walks requested in the evening block are considered add-ons and have a $5 surcharge. Overnight stays are scheduled in the overnight time block. Morning: 8 am – 11 am Mid-Day: 11 am – 2 pm Late Afternoon: 2 pm – 6 pm Evening: 6 pm – 8 pm Overnight: 10 pm – 6 am
Do you accept last minute requests?
Of course! While we cannot always guarantee availability on short notice, we will do our best to accommodate you. For services requested same day, after 7 pm the prior day, or with less than 48 hours notice on holidays, there is a $5 surcharge.
Are dog walks and doggy play days available every day, 365 days a year?
Private walks are available Monday through Saturday. Please note: on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Years Day, private walks, pack walks, and doggy play days are unavailable. These days are reserved and fully dedicated to pet sitting visits. There is a $10 surcharge per walk on the following holidays: New Years Eve, Presidents Day, Easter Sunday, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Halloween, and Christmas Eve. This goes directly to our sitters as a gratuity and “thank you” for being there for our clients on these holidays.
How do you handle dog walks on extremely hot or cold days?
Depending on the severity of weather conditions, Furbaby Pet Care will either continue as usual or shorten walks with notice. Furbaby Pet Care will give notice in either case. On hot days (over 90 degrees), way may shorten your pups walk to 15 minutes and spend the remaining time inside playing with your pet or snuggling. During our walk, we will bring along a doggy water bottle and upon request, put on client-provided dog’s booties and hose down water-happy dogs. On extremely rainy days, we may shorten your pups walk to 15 minutes and spend the remaining time inside playing with your pup or snuggling. During our walk, we will bring along an umbrella and put on client-provided pup raincoats.
How do you handle cancellations and refunds?
Cancellations need to be made through your online portal account. For private walks, cancellations not made by 7 pm the day prior are not eligible for credit. For drop-in (15, 30, 60 minute), live-in, almost overnight, and overnight pet sitting, cancellations with less than 7 days notice will be given a credit of 50% the invoiced total. There are no credits for early returns. Cancellations or downsizes for packages must be done by the 21st of the month. If a service has been paid for and canceled outside of the time frame, the remaining balance will be applied to your Furbaby Pet Care account in the form of credit. We do not offer direct refunds.
