No.  All dog walks are on a leash.  The safety and wellbeing of your dog are very important to me.

The wellbeing of your dog is very important to me.

If temperatures reach 30 degrees walks are confined to parklands (ie no street walking)

If temperatures reach 35 degrees all walks for the remainder of the day are cancelled.

If the forecast temperature for the next day is for 40 degrees or more than all walks for that day will be cancelled the day before.

If temperatures are between 30 and 35 degrees walks may be shortened for the safety of your dog.

Other weather factors such as thunderstorms may also result in the cancellation of walks.

In the event of cancellation of walks due to temperature - all basic holiday care visits are still performed (that is only the walk is cancelled)

I can inform you that I will visit in either the morning or afternoon.

It is not possible to give you the exact time.  This is due to travel times, travel routes, number of bookings etc... there are many variables influencing when I will reach your home.

No.

You must, however, provide access for me to collect your dog.

If you fail to provide the access you will be charged the full amount for the service you have booked.
