Training Policies 

​Scheduling
All training visits must be preceded by an evaluation. This can be completed via formal in-person meet and greet with Ashley or via phone call with Ashley. This initial meeting is your time to get to know the trainer and ask any initial questions about our programs. We will help determine which training program is correct for you and your dog at this time.

All sessions in a training package (obedience, behavioral, and 1:1) must be scheduled up front in order to reserve the package.

To RESCHEDULE a scheduled session, contact us at 484-228-1517 or send an email to ashleysadventurespetsitting@gmail.com.
If we do not receive advance notice, a family member, 16 years old or over, is expected to be at each scheduled session. If Ashley arrives for a session and no one is present, the session will be forfeited.

To CANCEL a scheduled session, our regular cancellation policies apply. 72 hours advance notice must be made in order to avoid late cancellation fees, unless cancellation is due to severe weather or a family emergency.

Payments
For individual training sessions, payment must be made in full the day before your lesson.

For training packages (obedience, behavioral, and 1:1), the package must be paid in full by the first session.

​Please discuss your payment options and plan during the meet and greet.

Ashley's Animal Academy currently accepts cash, check, Venmo, Paypal and payments made directly through invoice by bank transfer or credit card. ​

Cancellation and Schedule Change Policies

All cancellations must be done a minimum of 72 hours prior to the first visit unless cancellation is due to severe weather or a death (or other serious illness) in the family. 
Late cancellation fee: 20% of total invoice

We cannot guarantee that schedule changes or modifications will always be able to be accommodated.

Key Policies

Ashley's Animal Academy, LLC now uses secure lockboxes for all pet-sitting clients.

Lockboxes can be obtained at your initial meet and greet or a sitter can bring the box to your first visit.

The one-time price for lockboxes ($15) will be added to your service invoice if you intend to keep the lockbox.

If you do not want to keep the lockbox you can rent the lockbox for $10.

If you choose not to use a lockbox, we can use either a garage code or “hide a key” system at your home, which must be discussed at the meet and greet and entered into the portal.
