Terms & Conditions

  • Peter’s Chums is covered by Protectivity Insurance .

  • Please ensure all dogs vaccinations, flea and worm treatment are up to date.

  • It is required by law that your dog wears an identification tag with a phone number. I do attach my own business tags on the walk too. But please do make sure your dog has one.

  • If cancellations are made less than 24 hours I will need to charge a full walk as there is not enough notice. However, if your dog is ill the fee doesn’t apply.

  • If paying via cash please ensure you pay on the day and let me know in advance where the money is placed.

  • If paying via bank transfer payments must be paid on the day of the walk or at the end of the week. It’s always advisable to set up a standing order to prevent forgetting.

  • On extreme wet and muddy days please leave towels by the front door. I will remove my shoes while entering the property and ensure dog paws are wiped. If you would like your dog kept in a particular room please let me know.

  • On occasions when it’s very muddy please be aware that I can’t give your dog a proper bath. I will use a mud daddy hose for those circumstances which isn’t always powerful. In extreme cases if your dog is very smelly and cannot be taken home I will offer to bathe them at my house.

  • I will always use my own leads when walking your dogs.

  • Treats - Please do let me know if your dog is intolerant to certain foods. I will offer hypoallergenic treats on my walks. But if you prefer your dog not having any treats on the walks do let me know.

  • If your dog has diarrhoea and I’m concerned I won’t mind giving a daily poop update so that we can find the cause.

  • Please inform me of any holidays booked so I can plan ahead.

  • As I cover a large radius from Hove to Worthing, please note that I cannot always offer extra walks due to a tight schedule. However, please do ask in advance in case I get any cancellations.

  • Group walks are very small. Numbers are a maximum of 5 but usually between 3-4 dogs. I like to keep numbers small for better control and to get to know the dogs better.

  • Solo walks - Please inform me if you require your dog kept on lead at all times . I often work with reactive dogs and understand they require space.

  • Keys - Please note, if a key is blocking the inner side of the front door and I can’t enter the property I may have to charge.
