Building Security and Regulations

Our company’s name, Dorothy’s Petcare, and the purpose of our visits should be left with the building’s lobby staff, super, and anyone else in charge of the building’s security.

In addition, if there is a specific policy in your building regarding bringing in outside dogs we need to be notified. We may need to bring one or two dogs into your building while picking up or dropping off your dog(s).

In the event the elevators in the client’s building are out of order, we cannot go above the 4th floor. If there is a backup plan when the regular elevators are not working, please inform us of it so that we may follow those instructions.

Keys

Keys For Dog Walking: If the building has a twenty-four hour doorman where the keys may be accessed at any time, we can pick up the keys from the doorman. However, if that cannot be arranged, it is our policy that we request two full sets of keys – One set for the dog walker and one set to be kept at our location as back up in case of an emergency.

NOTE: The super, door person, etc., must be informed that if necessary, we may need to use the backup set of keys that is left with with them, etc.
