Our policies

Trust and safety

We are fully insured and bonded, so you and your home are protected.

Your home and pet

We follow all the care and access notes you give us, to the letter.

Supplies

Please leave out a secure leash. A retractable leash will not work.

Booking and cancellations

Cancel any visit through the app. Canceling with less than 24 hours notice may have a fee, but your first two late cancellations are on us. New bookings requested under 24 hours have a short notice fee.

Weather

In heavy rain or extreme heat, we try a quick potty break if your dog is willing. Then we spend the rest of the visit inside with real playtime. We towel dry your pup with your own towels before we go.

Requesting a caregiver

We always try to send your main caregiver, and our small team means you are never left without coverage. You can request a specific caregiver for an added fee.

The Shady Waggers dog bag

Every walker carries our dog bag with water, a dog bowl, treats, and a scent bag that keeps a familiar smell. We also keep detailed notes so every walker knows your pet.
