COVID-19 Safety Protocol

I minimize my public movements to reduce potential exposure to COVID-19.

I practice social distancing of at least 6 feet. My regular daily dog walk clients are managed at their front doors or through their backyards.

I use my own equipment or equipment clients designate for me to use exclusively during dog walks or pet visits.

I clean my hands before and after each visit. I use disinfectant hand wipes and/or hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

If client requests, I wear a disposable face mask before entering and while working in clients’ homes. If necessary, I wear a face mask while walking dogs when the streets are busy with foot and bicycle traffic.

I am moving towards everything being online that can be online. Dog walk and pet visit updates are only through text and email. I am currently developing online client and pet profile forms, contracts, policies and procedures, and other forms, and phasing out paper documents.
