Customer Policies

Meet & Greets-are Mandatory for all potential new customers. This allows us to interview each other & ensure that no questions go unanswered by either party. It also allows us to ensure that we are a good match to care for your pets, as some pets are particular about their human friends & don’t get along with just anyone.

Service Contracts must be filled out & signed IN FULL before dog training will be provided.

Payment Options – We accept cash, checks, money orders & all major credit cards. Should a customer’s check bounce, there will be a $35 bounced check fee applied to the customer’s account in addition to the total cost of services already owed to Giving A Dog A Bone, LLC. Should a customer bounce a second check the same $35 bounced check fee will be applied to their total. Subsequently, after the second bounced check, we will no longer accept checks from that customer.

Late payments-customers will be given 10 days from the time of service to pay. Should the 10 days limit pass, a $20 late fee will be applied to the customer’s account.

Cancellations-All customers are expected to give at least 24 hours notice for cancellations. Except in circumstances beyond the control of either party. (For instance, if there is a death in the family or as a result of severe weather.) Feel free to contact us directly if you need to cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice. We are very caring & understanding & are not out to nickel & dime you to death but if a customer cancels & there is no time to book another customer in their slot we will charge a $10 cancellation fee.
