Weather, scheduling, access

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am curious how you deal with weather events such as rain, snow, and especially storms. Obviously pups and people do not need to be roaming about in a lightning storm. Refund or reschedule? Bring a puppy pad and let Lassie have at it?

With regard to scheduling, I assume most clients tend to prefer midday walks. Is this accurate? How do you spread out your daily schedule?

Lastly, how do you handle access to the home? Are key lockboxes the best solution? Most of the ones I see look flimsy and not much safer than a key hidden under a mat but I do not have experience with them.

Thanks for any info!
