Service Safety Protocols:
Vaccines
100% of WCP employees are vaccinated!
Face Masks
WCP employees must wear face masks where required and adhere to all building rules. We can also accommodate your preferences – see more under Additional Safety Options below.
Hand Sanitizing
WCP employees are encouraged to sanitize before and after each service.
Contact Reporting
Upon a positive test, WCP employees and clients must notify the office if they have known contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 and mitigation efforts (such as mask wearing) will be agreed upon. We will follow CDC guidelines as they are updated.
No-Contact Walks
WCP has always maintained a no-contact walk policy. We always avoid interactions with other people and dogs and do not visit dog parks.
Mandate Adherence
Walkers have been directed to follow Illinois Public Health mandates for social distancing and wearing masks.
Additional Safety Options:
Masks in home
If you’d prefer your dog walker or cat sitter to be masked in your home for any reason, please just let us know and we’ll be happy to accommodate your request.
No-entry handoff
If you are able to gear up and leash up your dog upon our walker’s arrival, the walker can take the dog from you with minimal contact and no entry to your home.
Entryway pickup
If you are able to crate your dog near the front door, the walker can take the dog from the crate and therefore have minimal contact with the rest of your home.
Convenience during COVID-19:
Virtual Meet and Greets
With our virtual Meet and Greet, we can meet you and your pet, collect the information necessary to provide great care, and be ready to start service within 24 hours.
Onboard within 24 Hours
We’ve transformed our meet and greet meetings into virtual ones so everyone stays safe and we’re able to onboard you and your pet within 24 hours.
