Scheduling & Seasonal Safety Policy

At Salt Lake Paws, all neighborhood walks and adventure outings are scheduled using flexible time blocks instead of exact appointment times. This allows us to provide consistent, efficient service across our client routes and adapt to each dog’s needs. You can let us know your preferred time within a block (e.g., “closer to 10 AM”), and we’ll do our best to accommodate when possible.

Time Blocks

Neighborhood Walks

  • Morning: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
  • Midday: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
  • Afternoon: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
  • Evening (Summer Only): 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Adventure Outings

  • Morning: 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM
  • Late Morning: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
  • Afternoon: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
  • Evening (Summer Only): 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM

For pack walks or group outings, your dog may be away from home longer than the listed session time to allow for safe travel and group coordination.

Seasonal Note: During periods of extreme heat, especially in summer, neighborhood walks may be modified to prevent paw burns from hot pavement. In these cases, we may provide a potty break followed by indoor enrichment or attention time.

Adventure outings typically involve cooler, natural surfaces like grass, gravel, or dirt. However, they are still subject to weather-based adjustments. We may shift to earlier or later start times and ensure fresh drinking water is always available—either carried or accessed from safe natural sources.
