How much notice is needed to cancel a visit?
A 24-hour cancellation notice is preferred. However, The Urban Leash understands that life throws curve balls every so often and allows cancellations on the day of service as long as the cancellation notice is given before 8 a.m. otherwise a fee of half the visit cost will be charged.
Is there additional fee for holiday visits?

What happens during severe weather?
In the case of severe weather like a snowstorm, thunderstorm, or temperatures above 90 degrees or below 20 degrees, The Urban Leash will take every precaution to keep your pet safe. Dogs will go out for a quick walk to go potty and head back in the house for indoor cuddle/playtime. In the event the mayor or governor issues a travel ban then non-essential services will be cancelled.
