10.2. If you have Regular Walks ("Regular Customer") then we will use commercially reasonable efforts to pair you with the same Dog Walker for every Dog Walk or Cat Visit (bearing in mind of course that she or he may be unavailable now and then because of vacation, illness, or some other reason).
10.3. If you are a Regular Customer and your regular Dog Walker is temporarily unavailable for a specific Dog Walk or Cat Visit then will contact you and offer the opportunity to cancel that Dog Walk or Cat Visit (without being charged for it). If you choose to continue with the Dog Walk or Cat Visit then we reserve the right to send a temporary replacement Dog Walker without first offering you, or providing, a Meet and Greet ("Temp Dog Walker"). We will always, to the extent possible, try to contact you to let you know in advance and to inform you that we are sending a Temp Dog Walker.
10.4. If your regular Dog Walker is permanently unavailable (for example, they may no longer be engaged by Swifto as a Dog Walker or they may have moved to a different neighborhood) or is unavailable for a long time (for example, they may be on an extended vacation) then we will appoint a replacement Dog Walker. In such an event, you will be entitled to a complimentary Meet and Greet with the proposed replacement Dog Walker.
10.5. If you are a Regular Customer but you request a Sporadic Walk that is not part of your regular schedule, then you may receive a different Dog Walker to your regular Dog Walker for that Sporadic Walk if your regular walker is not available.

12.3. Cancellations by Swifto. Of course if Swifto cancels a scheduled Dog Walk or Cat Visit that you have paid for due to an emergency with the dog walker, where you would rather not have a replacement walker then you will be entitled to a refund for that cancelled Dog Walk or Cat Visit in accordance with our Refund Policy (which is set forth below).
13. Suspending Regular Walks. If you go on vacation, you may suspend your Regular Walks until you return you can do so online, or call, text or email us to do so.
14. Changing the Time of a Dog Walk or Cat Visit. If you wish to change the time of a scheduled Dog Walk or Cat Visit so long as you give us at least 24 hours notice, we will be happy to accommodate the change. If less notice is given, and the original dog walker is not available to provide the new time frame, then you will still be charged for the original dog walk, in accordance with the 24 hour cancellation policy. You can edit the time window of the walk either on your dashboard or by emailing, calling or texting us.
15. Starting a Dog Walk.
15.1. Our Dog Walker will visit, and may enter, your premises to pick-up your dog at the beginning of a Dog Walk. You always retain the right to choose how to give the Dog Walker access to your dog. You can choose to: (i) provide the Dog Walker with a key to your premises ("Key"); (ii) leave a Key with your doorman which the doorman can give and collect from the Dog Walker as part of each Dog Walk; (iii) be home to meet the Dog Walker; or (iv) specify a different option altogether which we will try to accommodate such as a lockbox or keypad. But in any event, you must make sure that our Dog Walker can easily access your premises to collect your dog or visit your cat.
15.2. If a Dog Walker is unable to begin a Dog Walk or Cat Visit because of his or her inability to (a) access or enter your premises, or (b) locate your dog or cat, and the delay lasts for more than ten (10) minutes after the time that the Dog Walk or Cat Visit was scheduled to begin, then the Dog Walker reserves the right to leave your premises and not provide that Dog Walk or Cat Visit. In such an event you will still be charged, and agree to pay, the full price for that Dog Walk or Cat Visit.
15.3. You may select a two hour window within which our Dog Walker will arrive. For instance a 12pm walk, will be performed between 11am and 1pm. Any walk performed within the window is considered to be on time. The window accounts for various factors such as extra attention required of the Dog Walker at a previous walk, public transit delays, and the possibility of last minute covers.
16. Keys.
16.2. If you do decide to give the Dog Walker a Key they are only permitted to use it to perform Dog Walks or Cat Visits for you. We may also use commercially reasonable efforts to make a copy of the key for emergencies ("Emergency Key"), for example if the original key is lost. If we do so, we will keep the Emergency Key at our premises. If you don't want us to make an Emergency Key please let us know.
16.3. You may ask for us, or a Dog Walker, to return your Key and/or Emergency Key to you at any time and we will do so within 3 business days.
16.4. Please be aware that even though we try our best not to lose a Key or Emergency Key, we cannot promise that it won't happen. Therefore, please keep a separate set of your own keys (definitely don't give us the only copy). If we do happen to lose a Key or Emergency Key we will let you know. Note that the keys are only labeled with your first name and last name initial so it will be hard for anyone finding it to put it to bad use, but you agree: (i) that we will not be responsible or liable to pay any costs, expenses or damages associated with changing your locks or which you incur as a result of the lost Key or Emergency Key; and (ii) to hold us harmless, and expressly release us, from any and all liability arising from any loss of your Key or Emergency Key.
17. Collar and Leash. We do not provide a collar and leash for your dog. If you don't have your own collar and leash for your dog then we will not be able to take your dog on a Dog Walk. If we arrive at your premises to provide a Dog Walk and your dog does not have a suitable collar or leash you may still be charged for that Dog Walk.
18. Dog Aggression. We intend to walk all dogs. Of course, if a Dog Walker thinks that a particular dog is dangerous or poses certain risks then we may refuse to walk that dog. Or, if we do walk that dog it may need to be under specific circumstances (for example, they may need to wear a mouth-guard at all times). We always reserve the right to refuse to walk a specific dog. We will offer you a refund for any canceled Dog Walk if we refuse a Dog Walk that has been scheduled because our Dog Walker chooses not to work with an aggressive dog.
19. Ending a Dog Walk. If a Dog Walker is unable to return (drop-off) your dog at the end of a Dog Walk because of his or her inability to access or enter your premises:
(i) The Dog Walker will wait at your premises for up to thirty (30) minutes ("Waiting Time"). During this time we or the dog Walker may try to call you on the contact phone number that you have designated in your Site Account. You may be charged thirty dollars (US$30) to compensate us for the delay and the amount of time that our Dog Walker must wait at your premises, and you agree to promptly pay us that amount on demand.
(ii) If you have not returned after the expiration of the Waiting Time we and our Dog Walker will make arrangements for the care of your dog until you come to collect your dog. This may involve placing your dog in a doggy day care service. If you do not come to collect your dog after five (5) days we may place your dog in the nearest animal shelter. You will be charged all of the costs and expenses (including for our time spent, at our then-current standard rates) associated with the care of your dog, which you agree to promptly pay on demand. You acknowledge you may need to make certain payments before your dog is released to you. If we are required to make any payments to a doggy day care service or animal shelter you agree to promptly reimburse us upon our request. During this time we will of course try to reach you on the phone number that you have designated in your Site Account. We may also send you emails.
21. Your Premises.
21.1. If you give a Dog Walker permission to enter your premises as part of the Dog Walking or Cat Sitting Service, then you hereby consent for them to do so. Such consent will remain in effect until you expressly let us know that you have revoked it.
