What Happens During Inclement Weather?
To ensure the safety of the pups and our Walkie’s, regularly scheduled walks are canceled when the federal, state, or local government closes due to inclement weather. If there are no closures, your Walkie will get to your home to care for your pet as soon as safely possible. In extreme weather conditions (i.e., heavy rainfall, tsunami, extreme heat, etc.), dogs will be taken out long enough to relieve themselves, and the remainder of a short visit will be spent indoors. Please leave a towel out so that in wet conditions we may dry off your dog. If a Walkie is unable to reach a pup due to road closures or other complications, the Walkie will call the you at the emergency number(s) you have provided.
What Happens During an Emergency?
All clients are asked to maintain emergency information in their Walkie Client Connect Portal. In the event of a medical emergency, Who’s Your Walkie? will attempt to contact the owner at the numbers provided to confirm your choice of action. If the Owner cannot be reached, WYW will:
Transport the pet(s) to the listed veterinarian (in Walkie Client Connect)
Request on-site treatment from a veterinarian
Transport pet(s) to an emergency clinic if the previous two options are not feasible.
All Walkie’s are trained and certified in first aid and CPR for dogs.
