Charges & Hidden costs
If you've met me you know I like to be upfront and clear, so why wouldn't I be with my prices.
Here you should find a complete list of all the charges you might find on your final bill.
These prices are without context, no description, some an hour others for a week. Feel free to ask, but hopefully all the info is already on the site.

"High Holidays" such as Christmas will be a 100% increase, more generic holidays will more usually be 50%.
Please note 'Summer' & 'Christmas' is classed as "Holiday" due to the increase of bookings in these months.
"Overbooking" is only for Regulars - Even if fully booked I can often squeeze in one more dog, if I know they will be okay with all the others.
Pee fee - Accidents do happen! The first time they have one it's free. In general I aim to only charge once per day, unless the dog is actively marking or is unable to control themselves.
| Personality/Size Charges | % increase on daily rate |
|---|---|
| Social Anxiety | 10-20% |
| Huge Dogs | Up to 20% |
| Difficult Dogs | Up to 20% |
Social Anxiety:
If your dog cannot be left alone for even for a short time without howling the house down an additional charge may be applied as I need to find cover when I need to leave them alone or to pay for deliveries.
Huge dogs:
Even though they are often gentle giants a dog that is larger is physically more able to be troublesome and will be a lot more work if they need to be leashed. As such I do charge up to an additional 20%.
Unexpected Difficult dogs:
Requiring solo or extremely close eye. This is for dogs that are aggressive without cause or reason. Whether towards humans or dogs, in general these dogs are not included in group walks, so this is usually only used if a dog reacts in a new manner around me.
| Last Minute Changes | % increase |
|---|---|
| New Booking | Up to 50% |
| Cancellation | 50-100% |
"Last Minute" is defined as less than 48 hours.
