Additional Considerations

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
Whether it’s a blizzard outside or scorching hot, we may adjust the walks and routes based on current conditions. On extreme weather days walks may be shortened to ensure the safety of our dogs and walkers. However, due to the risks associated with walking dogs in extreme conditions, rates are not changed due to shortened walks. In addition, Sammy's Dog Walking retains the right to cancel service due to inclement weather that we deem hazardous or dangerous up to the day of service. We will notify clients as soon as possible for all cancellations. Please understand that our walkers are doing their best to accommodate you during bad weather conditions. There are instances where there is no parking or dangerous walking conditions due to ice and snow. On snow days when the client must have their dog walked, the walkway, driveway, or anywhere the dog walker has to go to enter and return must be clear of ice and snow. Parking must also be made available on a safe spot to avoid injury to walker. A full dog walk will be charged to your account if these steps are not taken.

CHANGES IN DOG WALKER
If we need to have a different walker for your pet, you will be notified beforehand in the event you would like to meet them. A picture and bio of all of our walkers can be found here.
All of our dog friendly walkers are bonded and insured.

UNEXPECTED ACCIDENTS UPON ARRIVAL
Occasionally when we arrive at a clients house, our furry friend has had an accident in their crate or in the house. Rather than leave the accident inside the crate or on the floor, our walkers diligently clean up which may result in slightly longer times at the house and higher rates. This policy also applies to similar tasks such as putting on diapers (IE a 20 minute walk can end up being 30 minutes).

FOR CLIENTS OFF THE BEATEN PATH
We serve clients throughout Charlottesville and Albemarle County. We are happy to serve clients throughout the County even if it means a longer commute and increased gas expenses for our walkers.
​
All trips off the beaten path will be charged for a 30 minute walk and will be discussed during the initial Meet and Greet.

TIPS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Our team takes their work and your pet's happiness very seriously. We do our very best to ensure your expectations are met to the fullest.
And everyone loves a treat!
CANCELLATION POLICY
Our cancellation policy is in place because we highly value our professional dog walkers' time
and personal commitments outside of Sammy's Dog Walking Service.
Please read our cancellation policy below carefully.
A 24-hour advance notice is required for all cancellations in order
to receive a full credit towards future services.
If a cancellation has not been submitted and our walker arrives at your home to provide care,
your account will be charged for the full amount.
​
There is a 50% non-refundable fee upon commitment
to one of our pet sitting engagements.
This ensures that your spot is held and encourages a serious desire to follow-thru as planned.
