Lucky Dog Walkers
At LDW, our priority is the happiness and safety of your pet. Every walker is a serious dog lover and we will treat your dog with the love and respect all family members deserve, and strive to bond with them. We are licensed and insured and every one of our walkers must pass a thorough background check. We will not only be respectful of your pet, but of your home, as well. Immediately following each walk, we will communicate with you letting you know the walk has been completed. We will let you know when we arrived and left; what the bathroom outcome was; and we will replenish water; give a couple treats, if you approve; and feed, if that is required. If there are any issues while out, we will let you know that, as well. We may even send you an occasional adorable picture of your pup.

Design Your own Program:
If none of the above are ideal for your needs, let's talk. We are fairly flexible and we want to do what is best for your furry family member. Let's design a plan that works for you. Our priority is the happiness of your pet ( and you).
Cancellation Policy:
To avoid being charged for your reserved time slot, we ask for notification of cancellation or change by 5 PM on the day prior to the change. Obviously, life happens and sometimes, there are unforeseen, last minute occurrences such as illness. We will happily work with you on those days.
Basics:
We know all dogs are different and unique in their own way. After all, isn't that why we love them? That said, safety is our priority. Whether your dog is reactive, or not, when we see we are approaching another dog, we will cross the street or change direction. The same pretty much goes when approaching another human. Your dog may be trained, mellow and well behaved, but we don't know about the other dog/human, so we will err on the side of caution every time.
We will not take your dog off-leash. He must be on leash with us, at all times. We prefer walking dogs with a secure harness, especially if they are reactive. We also prefer they wear ID tags when they are out with us.
We will need 2 house keys. Why 2? One will be carried by your designated walker. The other, I keep (securely) as a master in case the walker locks themselves out or misplaces the key. FYI - The keys are only identified by the dog's name. No addresses are listed on the key.
If you have an alarm system we ask that you not only give us a lesson in arming and disarming, but you also provide us with detailed instructions. A copy of the actual manufacturer's instructions are preferred. If we do not have those basics, we will not be held liable for any charges incurred if the alarm is triggered.
Each Lucky Dog will have a designated walker appointed to them. We think consistency and routine is important. However, from time to time, they may have a substitute for vacations, illness, etc. As the owners, Fred and I have worked hard to get to know all of the dogs, so we can be back-ups for the other walkers, if needed and so each dog has two good options for walkers.
We invoice every two weeks on Saturday. Payment is requested within 7 days of invoice. We accept payments by Venmo or check. Venmo will take a minute to set up, but it's quick and easy after that. Just download the Venmo app on your phone, enter your bank account, and add Fred as a friend (@Fred-Hoadley). When you make a payment, put your dog's name in the note and that's it. You can always send us a check if you prefer, to:
1617 California Ave. SW
Seattle, WA 98116-1610
We thank you for entrusting us with your precious, furry family member. We appreciate your business.
