DOG WALKIING POLICY

Equipment/Supplies: Current name tag with collar along with a properly fitting harness on all dog walks outside of the home. Customers must have potty bags available for each walk. Customers are required to purchase necessary safety equipment and potty bag supplies before their first walk. 

A. Leashes: For the safety of our team and the pets in our care, Critter Sitters and More staff will not be using retractable leashes. Please have an alternative leash ready before time of service.

B. Harness: For the safety and wellbeing of the dogs in our care, we require them to wear a properly fitting harness for walks. Clipping the leash to collars can potentially be harmful to our dogs because there are so many vital things in the neck (esophagus, thyroid, cervical spine, nerves, etc.) *With any dog you will need to find a harness that best fits their individual conformation.
