We hope this finds you and everyone you care for well and healthy. We want to thank you for your generosity and continued support in this uncertain time.
With the roll out of the Government Subsidies for the self-employed, it has become clear that any income during this time will only help to confuse our situation. To that end, WPS will officially postpone all visits after April 15th until further notice.
We remain committed to caring for the fur babies and their families who need us and can make arrangements with Essential Workers and in Emergency Situations.

 

March 17, 2020 Pet Visits and Dog Walks continue
We do ask if anyone in your home is displaying cold/flu symptoms, that you contact us prior to the scheduled visit to discuss your preferred protocol.

We are taking extra precautions to protect ourselves, by sanitizing often, limiting exposure to High Risk Environments , and by social distancing. We ask you aid us by revealing any possible risks at your home.

In the event of multiple illnesses at WPS , we will prioritize medical and vacation visits and reach out to Emergency Contacts.
