Safety Considerations and Cancellation Policy
We love all animals, but as a professional pet care business
we maintain the following policies.
- You must disclose if your dog or cat has a bite history with humans, regardless of the context. It doesn't necessarily mean we can't work with you, but we need to know in order to ensure your pet's and our team's safety.
- Take Paws will not be able to provide walks or visits for dogs longer than a period of 3 days without the owner or a family/friend/caretaker ect...coming home within 3 days or on the 3rd day.
- If you require dog visits to last longer than 3 days without anyone being home you are welcome to inquire about our in-home boarding services.
- Dog walks and dog visits are required to keep all dogs on leash at all times outside of the home.
- Take Paws does not offer off-leash services with the exception of client's written consent and a discussion of the specific off-leash service request.
- We cannot guarantee service for dogs that are a danger to themselves, the walker, or others while on a leash. We can, however, talk through potential solutions in this case and you are welcome to consult with our professional dog behaviorist.
- We cannot pill or otherwise medicate unsocialized or people-wary cats or dogs.
- We cannot deliver medical injections for dogs or cats nor deliver subcutaneous fluids.
- If we feel we cannot safely walk your dog after you begin working with us, it is in our right to cancel service. We will communicate with you and do what we can to prevent this situation.
