Information
My website will be updated with news or general activities - www.dogsgowalkies.co.uk.Feel free to ask to see the full Standard Operating Procedures when you visit me.
General Operations
Dogs Go Walkies is a very small business which, as intended, I am growing very gradually, providing dog walking, day care and boarding services. I now have 4 boarding customers and 2 daily dog walking jobs. Milo, the golden retriever you see lower down on the video on my home page, is one of them.
I will assess the dogs and check their condition - they will need proof of vaccinations.
Details of vets for each boarding dog will be recorded and have its own daily bulletin.
The dog's temperament will be judged, together with suitability for mixing with other dogs.
Walking dogs and getting to know the dogs before boarding is important so they are confident to board.
Discussions about suitability for allowing dogs off the lead will be essential and agreements adhered to.
Boarding will be, primarily, for customers who will be away on holidays.
Customers will, generally, be friends, recommends or from close vicinity.
I will help by going through the booking form with you.
Facilities
Purpose-built cabin 5.5 m x 3.5 m on site.The cabin provides a lounge area with TV to help make the dogs feel at home and I can stay with them.There is a bathing/wash area, kitchenette, together with underfloor heating throughout.
There is a locker with 4 cupboards and 2 drawers for each dog.
Best quality "Groomers" shampoo will be provided.
Owners can bring their own bowls, leads, harnesses, coats and shampoo, toys, together with food and treats unless discussed otherwise.
Dogs boarding or day care will be walked at least twice a day.
Holidays
My holidays will fit around my customers' vacations, unless I give longer prior notice.
