      All relevant medical history must be disclosed and all pets must be update with flea treatments and yearly inoculations booster.

 

      The owners agree to indemnify Paws 2 Purrfection as not liable to any damage caused by the owners pets, to damage to property in the owners absence and all liability for any loss or damage also to include harm caused to another dog or person, caused by the pet whilst being walked, visited or boarded

 

     The owner must agree to indemnify Paws 2 Purrfection for any responsibility it is you the owner that is responsible to ensure your dog is fully insured.


            Sorry, bitches in season are not accepted on group walks.


      We reserve the right to make any decision necessary in the best interest of your animal to include the animal becoming unwell and needing veterinary treatment.  The owner and not Paws 2 Purrfection is responsible for all veterinary fees and disbursements incurred.  If we need to visit the vet with your animal an additional charge will be incurred.


      Acceptance of our services is deemed acceptance of our Terms and Conditions and an agreement to pay our fees on time.


      We reserve the right to stop walking a dog if he shows aggression to people or other dogs.


      We reserve the right to either impose supplementary charges and/or terminate this agreement if, the assignment changes from the subscription given by the client and needs more time or responsibility or if there is a change in the nature of the assignment which could not have been reasonably foreseen by either party.


      We will not be liable for any damage or injury caused by your dog excepting that of proven Third Party.  There is always an hour window of time allowed to pick up and drop off your dog – ie., a 10am pick up can mean a 9am or 11am pick up.


      We cannot be held liable for any theft or damage to your property or injury/illness to your pet unless we can be shown to be negligent.


      We reserve the right to deny or terminate services because of safety or financial concerns


      Extreme weather conditions may mean a curtailment or cancellation of our services at short notice.  (We will keep your pet company if we can get there)


      We will try to give 24 hrs notice if we cannot walk your dog.  If not, we will refund the fee for that walk


      If 24 hrs notice is not given by the client of cancellation, we reserve the right to charge for that walk


      We do not walk dogs during thunderstorms or extreme heat but will let your dog out to relieve himself and keep him company indoors


      We cannot walk ill dogs or dogs known to have an infection even on a one to one basis because of the risk of cross infection


      We will not feed deep chested dogs in the hour presiding or after a walk because of the risk to your dog of gastric torsion

 

      Kennel Cough Although every care is taken to prevent contact with dogs with kennel cough, the incubation period means that it is always possible your dog may pick this up and we cannot be held liable for your dog contacting kennel cough.  We strongly advise you discuss kennel cough vaccination with your vet.

 

We will not walk dogs who wear choke chains or electric collars nor can we administer punishment (smacking or jerking collars or any method which may cause the dog pain or distress)

 

Holidays – We aim to give you six weeks notice at least, of our holidays

 

Weekly bookings are greatly discounted and need to be paid one week in advance. You are paying for the whole week at a greatly discounted rate so we cannot refund for part week should you not need us.  If you do not need us for the following week, we cannot guarantee to have space for your pet without a retainer (50% of your normal weekly fee – per week).

 

We are always happy to visit you to see if our services may be right for you – although we cannot confirm dog walking or puppy visits without a firm booking date with one weeks deposit

 

                       Should we not be able to fulfil a walk or visit we will refund for that/those walks or visits.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are you a Member of any professional body and are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured members of The National Association of Registered Petsitters.

Can I meet you personally?
Yes. Although we will provisionally allocate you your requested dates upon enquiry in order to protect those dates for you, we will want to meet with you and your pet in his or her own home, prior to formal booking, so that we may discuss your pet’s requirements in depth. This initial meeting, which is free of charge, will generally take around 30 mins but will mean that your pet can get the best possible care from us and allow us to replicate your own routines as closely as possible.

Will I get the same Dog Walker or Petsitter every time?
Yes. We want your pet to feel 100% happy and secure at all times and will never introduce your pet to a new Dogwalker or Petsitter without your express prior permission.

Can I contact you while I am away to see how my pet is settling in and make sure they are ok?
 Absolutely! We are happy to be contacted any time at all and actively encourage it! We will fill in a daily log detailing everything your pet has been up to while you are away but we are more than happy to give as many additional updates to you by telephone, text, email or – we know you miss them!

Do you operate a key holding service?
Yes. We operate a key holding service which is offered free of charge to all our clients.  All keys are kept in a secure safe that remains locked at all times. Keys and alarm codes are colour coded  according to our own bespoke system. Addresses and pet names are kept completely separate from keys to ensure absolute security at all times.

I am worried about handing my key over to a stranger?
Most people initially have some reservations in this respect but all our clients feel 100% reassured once they have met with us. We will ask you to sign an authority releasing your key to us and this authority will also confirm that your key is returnable to you at any time upon demand. Should you require return of your key temporarily (for example you lock yourself out!) we will ask  you  to “sign your keys out” so that everybody knows exactly where your key is at any particular time. When you return the key to us we will ask you to sign the log again. Please be rest assured that both you and your pet are in the safest possible hands.

Should I provide my pet’s food for when I am away?
Yes. It is important that your pet continues with his or her own usual diet both in terms of familiarity for them and also to avoid any upset tummies from a sudden change in diet.

What happens if I have not left enough food for my pet?
We strongly recommend that you leave ample food when you go away. We will never allow your pet to go without food however and will therefore be glad to shop for more should you miscalculate the amounts. In such circumstances we shall treat this as an additional and charge accordingly.

Do you have any formal conditions?
Yes. We will provide all necessary paperwork at the time of booking but our main requirement is that all pets must be up to date with vaccinations and must be on flea and tick preventative treatment.

What happens if my pet falls ill whilst in your care or is involved in an accident?
We will always try to call you first to discuss the situation and the best course of action. We are also subscribed to the National Association of Registered Petsitters Vetfone Service 24/7 and will take additional immediate advice from them. If we are unable to contact you and medical attention is required we will transport your pet to your own veterinary surgery as detailed on your client record or, if closed, to our own veterinary service or an emergency surgery. You will be responsible for any costs incurred by a vet.

What happens if I am delayed in returning home from holiday or a business trip etc?
We ask you to contact us as soon as you have returned home so that we know your pet is safely back in your care. We will leave you a note reminding you of this at our last scheduled visit so do not worry about forgetting to do this! If you contact us to say that you have been unexpectedly delayed, or if we do not hear from you and cannot make contact with you, we shall continue caring for your pet until you return home and charge you accordingly.

Do you charge extra for weekends and bank holidays?
No.

Cancellation
Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel a booking. We will always consider the circumstances and endeavour not to charge a cancellation fee where possible.
