Cancellation Policy
To ensure the smooth operation of BigpawsSmallpawsOutdoors, clients may cancel or reschedule this service at any time, provided at least 24 hours’ notice is given before the scheduled Pet Taxi booking. This ensures smooth planning and keeps everything running efficiently. Any late cancellation or late reschedule will be charged at the full Pet Taxi rate, preventing last‑minute disruptions and maintaining smooth operation. 1. Meet & Greet Requirement: A free meet and greet is not always required for Pet Taxi bookings. For one‑off trips where the owner is present (such as vet visits or grooming appointments), a meet and greet is optional. A meet and greet is required for regular clients, nervous or reactive dogs, transport without the owner present, or post‑surgery trips needing extra support. This keeps the service flexible while ensuring safety for ongoing or behaviour‑sensitive transport. 2. Behaviour, Safety & Management: I work with dogs of all behaviour levels, including nervous, reactive, and handling‑sensitive dogs. Pet Taxi journeys require that your dog is safe and manageable for loading, unloading, and secure transport. If your dog’s behaviour or current management creates a safety risk for me, your dog, or anyone else, I will pause the service and advise the changes needed. Once your dog is safe, stable, and properly managed, Pet Taxi services can continue. 3. Service Scope: Pet Taxi provides safe, calm, behaviour‑minded transport for vet appointments, grooming visits, daycare/boarding drop‑offs, family/friend collections, post‑surgery transport, and dogs who struggle with travel or new environments. Journeys may include calm loading, solo transport, support at appointments, staying with your dog if needed, and updates or notes. 4. Payments: All Pet Taxi bookings must be paid in full before or at the time of booking. Late cancellations or missed bookings are charged at the full Pet Taxi rate, and no discounts apply. 5. Environment & Access: Clients must ensure safe access to the property for pick‑up and drop‑off, and provide any necessary instructions for entry, alarms, gates, or equipment. Unsafe environments or equipment may result in the service being paused or cancelled. 6. Safety Is Always The Priority: Transport includes secure containment, stable footing, clean equipment, calm loading, predictable handling, and close monitoring of body language. Dogs must wear secure collars and be up‑to‑date with vaccinations.
