Dear Valued Customers – 
Thank you for your continued service and support of Sammy’s Dog Walking.  We wanted to let you know of an update to our policy.  Holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Memorial Day, July 4th and Easter Break) tend to be a very busy time for our pet sitting business and we often have to turn away customers because we don’t have enough staff to accommodate all of the requests.  Unfortunately, over the past year, far too many of these scheduled dates have ended up cancelling at the last minute, not only causing us to lose out on needed and planned revenue, but other valued clients to miss a chance for services that we could have provided to them instead.
 
As a result, the company has been forced to implement a 50% non-refundable cancellation policy 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.  Again, thank you for your continued business and we look forward to spending time with your beloved fur babies.

​

Cat Care
​We are happy to announce that we also provide cat sitting services.  One of our team members will stop by to scoop the litter box, put out fresh food and water and provide plenty of love and attention.  Visits typically last 20 minutes.  While there we can also water plants and bring in the mail.  We charge $15 for weekday visits and $20 for weekend visits.

*4 or more cats?  Add an additional $3 per visit

Transport Services

Do you have trouble finding time to take your dog to daycare or vet visits?  We are pleased to announce that we now offer Dog Transportation Services!  We can pickup and bring your dog to daycare, vet visits or anywhere else around town.  We love walking dogs - one way trips during the week are $25 and weekend trips (if available) are $30 one way.

For Those Traveling to Charlottesville

Offering dog walking and dog sitting services to those traveling to Charlottesville with their pets!

Other Considerations

A copy of our service agreement can be found here.

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 carefully. 

A 24-hour advance notice is required for cancellations on all days 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.

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.

For Clients off the Beaten Path:
We serve clients throughout Charlottesville and Albemarle County.  We are happy to serve clients throughout Albemarle County even if it means a longer commute and increased gas expenses for our walkers.  A $3 charge will be added to each walk and will be discussed during the initial Meet and Greet.

​

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 & 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)
