✨ A Quick Update on Scheduling Policies at The Dapper Doodle Salon & Spa
✨
I wanted to share a gentle update to my cancellation and scheduling policies. As many of you know, I run The Dapper Doodle independently, and my schedule is carefully planned to give each pup a calm, unrushed, one-on-one grooming experience.
To continue providing that level of care, and because I am not a daycare facility and do not have space to hold dogs for extended periods, the following policies will be in place:
🐾 Cancellations & Rescheduling
• A minimum of 24-hour notice is required.
• Cancellations made with less than 24-hour notice will require a $25 late cancellation fee before rebooking.
🐾 No-Shows
• Missed appointments without notice will be charged 50% of the scheduled grooming fee.
• The balance must be paid before scheduling a new appointment.
🐾 Late Arrivals
• If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, you may be asked to reschedule. This ensures every dog receives the full time and attention they deserve.
🐾 Late Pick-Ups
• Once you are notified that your dog is ready, please arrange prompt pick-up.
• Unless discussed ahead of time, pick-ups 30 minutes or more after notification will result in a late pick-up fee of $25/30 minutes
All applicable fees must be paid at time of pick up.
Please know these policies are not meant to be harsh, they are simply in place to protect my time, my small business, and most importantly, to maintain a low-stress, safe environment for the dogs in my care.
I truly appreciate every single one of you who respects my time and supports my small business. Your understanding allows me to continue doing what I love while giving your pups the best possible experience. 💛✂️🐶
