Happy Tails Pet Services, LLC accepts cash, Venmo, and all major credit cards. For pet sitting invoices, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of payment is due when the job is booked, and the other half is due on the last day of service. Payment for weekly dog walks is due on Friday of every week.

While we understand that schedule plans can change, we commit to an exclusive time for you and your pets when you book dog walking and pet sitting services, and may have to turn away other clients for the same time period.

For all vacation reservations, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit at time of booking. Should any changes be made to reduce the reservation time or visits, the original amount will still be due.

For our weekly dog walking clients, schedule cancellations must be received at least 12 hours in advance to avoid being charged.

For our regular midday dog walking clients, we try to offer set visits within a two-hour time block (11 AM-1 PM or 1-3 PM).

For vacation care and other sporadic visits, we generally offer visits within the following time blocks: 8-11 AM, 11 AM- 3 PM, 3-6 PM, and 9-10 PM (limited availability).

While we aim to always provide drop-in visits/walks around the time requested, it is important to note that traffic, cancellations, or other circumstances may affect timing.

The sitter(s) that you meet at the initial meet and greet (barring an emergency) will provide drop-in visits and/or walks while you are away. 

We require that all clients have an up-to-date, local emergency contact on file with us in case we are unable to reach your pet (i.e. in an extreme weather event or medical emergency).

Prior to booking, we will ask you to provide the contact information for your veterinarian in case of any emergencies. If an emergency happens outside of normal office hours, we will contact you prior to taking your pet to an area emergency veterinarian.
