Booking Conditions and Payment Terms

• All bookings, cancellations, date changes and refund queries are to be made by contacting us on 0401 046 205 during business hours.
• Payment for all bookings is required in full prior to your pooch’s activity
• Unless otherwise requested by the Member, credit card details will be kept securely on file.
• Before your first booking starts, we will visit your home for our ‘Meet and Greet’ session, to introduce ourselves, meet your pets, obtain all relevant job details and collect any keys required. This Visit is completely free of charge.
• As part of the booking process, Puppy Luvs will email you a confirmation of your booking details. It is your responsibility to check that the booking details are correct and to let us know if they are not. If you are unable to provide puppy luvs with an email address, or if you do not let us know if the details are incorrect, puppy luvs will not be responsible for any errors which may occur.
• If you select our ‘pet play’ service, Puppy Luvs recommends at least one pet care “Pop-in” visit each day while you are away. If you have not booked at least one visit per day (eg you have selected alternate day visits), you acknowledge that there is an increased likelihood of:

1. Your pets’ water supplies running out or becoming dirty.
2. Food supplies running out in between visits.
3. Kitty litter trays becoming more soiled than usual.
4. Your pets showing increased signs of stress.
5. External factors affecting your property/premises/pets which are out of puppy luvs control.

• Surcharges will apply if we are required to purchase pet supplies on your behalf.
  In such instances, a Shopping Surcharge will be added to your booking. This covers up to 30 minutes of our time and petrol in shopping on your behalf.
• Puppy luvs reserves the right to turn down any booking (with a full refund) when we feel our service is unsuitable. Possible reasons are to protect our safety, if an animal appears to be aggressive, or if we are concerned for the animal’s welfare due to its living conditions.

Payment Options
We accept payment for our services online via direct deposit or Cash (in Person or left at the premises where pooch is collected from).  Prior to the commencement of our services we will email you an invoice which includes details for how to pay online. Please call 0401 046 205 if you have any questions regarding your payment options.

Booking Cancellations
All bookings under $500 have a standard cancellation fee of $25. Bookings over $500 have a cancellation fee of 5%.

Booking Date Changes
Any money that has been paid for dates rescheduled with less than 2 days notice, will be forfeited. Any new dates added to the booking will be charged accordingly. Date changes with more than 2 days notice can be made readily, as required, subject to availability.
Please note: the above scenarios are based on 2 days notice being Today and Tomorrow.
Date change example – Say you arrive home 3 days earlier than planned and cancel our services for the last 3 days of the booking. Once you notify me, you will forfeit the money paid for the next 2 days of pet care, and the money you have paid for the third day of pet care will remain as credit for future bookings, or refunded.
