Do we work through the winter?
Yes. Dogs keep making their messes all year long, and our company continues
to clean up and remove dog waste through winter.
What happens when it rains or snows?
We work in most weather, but snow or very cold weather can stop us. If there
is more than about half an inch of snow, we will postpone that day's service
until the next day or two, when the snow melts away. If there is so much snow
that we are prevented from doing that week's work, then we will not charge for
service that week. If snow stays on the ground for more than a week, but there
is no new snow to cover it, we will do regular cleanups to prevent excessive
accumulation.
Our company will usually work in the rain. A very heavy rainfall may stop us, though. We will most often be able to make up the work later in the week.
What about holidays?
We do not work the following days:
New Years Day
Labor Day
Memorial Day
Thanksgiving Day
Independence Day
Christmas Day
When a holiday falls on a regular service day, we will post a work schedule in the Customer Newsletter attached to your invoice. Service returns to the regular day the following week.
Should I unlock my gate?
Yes. Since employees are not to climb or jump over fences, please have your
gate unlocked on your service day. You may provide us with a key to the lock
or tell us the combination if that will be convenient for you. If you like,
we will loan you a combination lock at no cost to you.
Can we work with your dog in the yard?
In most cases, yes. We get along well with dogs; however, there are some cases
when a dog will not let our worker into the yard. If you know that your dog
is not good with strangers, or it becomes apparent that your dog will not allow
us to clean the yard, then we ask that you restrain or confine the dog. We don't
want to take any unnecessary risks with your dog or our employees.
What if I want to skip a service day?
You will not be charged if you call the company office in time for us to tell
the service worker to skip your yard that day. If the dog will be gone from
the yard for a couple of weeks, or for some other reason you want us to skip
your yard for a day or more, we can hold service and you will not be charged
for those days. There will also be no charge for service missed due to weather
or some other event beyond your control. However, if your gate is locked or
the dog will not allow us to clean the yard when we come to do the work, it
may be necessary to charge for the service call that could not be completed.
If, for instance, you get to work and remember that the gate is locked, call
us early to tell us to skip that day so that you will not be charged.
Are there any contracts I have to sign?
No. We can start and stop your service over the phone. We do not require contracts,
there is no minimum service period, and there is no advance notice required
to cancel service.
Is there an extra charge for the first time?
With your prior approval, there may be an extra charge for the first service
if there has been a lot of accumulation of waste over time.
Is it possible to get a one-time only service?
Sure! One-time-only, or short-term service may be easily arranged.
What does your company mean by "SATISFACTION GUARANTEED"?
We promise that you will get service you are happy with or you don't have to
pay for it! We know our business depends on doing excellent work, and it's the
quality of our service on which we stake our success. We're working very hard
to make our name mean reliable, high-quality service. We strive to provide perfect
service, but if there is ever a time when our service is not completely satisfactory,
please let us know right away. We will make it right, either by coming back
to re-clean the yard the same day or the next day, or by crediting your account
so you won't be charged.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS!
