FAQs Frequently Asked Questions for Dog Days Kalamazoo
Do you go outside of your Service Area?
YES. On a case by case basis depending on nature of work–mainly for cat clients where arrival time is flexible.
Can I hire you for dog walking 1 or 2 days per week?
YES. Whether you need one day, two days, or more–I can help you out.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Venmo, PayPal, check or cash.
When do I pay you?
Before work begins–for both midday dog walking and vacation pet sitting. Midday clients can pay weekly, every two weeks, or monthly. I do not bill out. I did when I first started and had a few people taking 3-5 weeks to pay me after work was completed. Thus, payment ahead of time please.
How soon should I schedule work with you?
The sooner the better. There’s no such thing as booking too early! I can generally fit in last minute stops for midday dog walking clients. However, with vacation pet sitting, please contact me at least 2-3 weeks before your trip. Holidays–I recommend at least 4 weeks ahead of time. There’s only so many hours in the day and so many stops we can do. Most major holidays, I will be booked up weeks early.
Will you always be walking my dog or someone else?
Yes. I’m on every job. I will always be wearing my Dog Days uniform and clearly identifiable.
Who do you recommend if you’re not available?
