Inclement Weather General Information: 1) During inclement weather, if your walks or visits are not essential OR you are changing your plans to stay in town or stay home from work, please let us know so we can make other arrangements. 2) If you are out of town and have an alternative caregiver close by, please make arrangements to have them on-call to care for your pets. Note that in order to make emergency arrangements, we need their contact number. Due to inclement weather, if it is not safe to travel to your home, we will contact your alternative caregiver to begin caring for your pets. When this happens, we will send you an email notification. 3) If you are out of town and have no alternative caregivers, we will contact you to work with you on a plan to care for your pets.

 

Inclement Weather Policy for Dog Walking Clients: We post WALK or NO WALK status on the following communications when inclement/bad weather is expected. The notifications are posted on: Furball Fitness Facebook page and Furball Fitness voicemail 614.986.9890,

• If yes, we are providing WALKS, and you will be staying home that day OR your company is closed, please email info@furballfitnesspetcare.com or text/call 614.986.9890 by 8 a.m. so we may make accommodations.

• If you live in an area where our walker cannot reach your home safely, because of poor road conditions, service will not be provided. You will receive an email notification if this happens.

• If it takes our walker additional time to reach your home due to road issues, lack of cleared access area, etc, the additional time will be counted as part of your walking time. If this happens, we will notify you within 12 hours via email. Example: If it normally takes a walker 15 minutes to reach your home and b/c of snow and ice, it takes the walker 30 minutes to reach your home, your visit will be shortened by 15 minutes to make up the difference in driving time. Your animal will still get the potty break they need. This policy is the only way our walkers can keep on schedule when bad weather strikes to ensure all of our clients at least get a 10-15 minute potty break on these challenging days.

 

Inclement Weather Policy for Pet Sitting Clients (Two Options):

• Option One: During inclement weather, our policies require a local resource (friend or neighbor) as a point of contact we can call if inclement weather threatens our ability to service your pet while we are pet sitting. If this happens, we will pass off care of the animal until our pet sitters can safely resume servicing your home. Should this be the case, you will be notified via phone, text and email we have on file for you.

• Option Two: Alternatively, when possible (after determined by our dog sitter availability) we can provide round the clock service, and stay in your home at a rate at our hourly rate of $50. until it is safe for our walker to resume going to and from your home as scheduled.
