IMPORTANT PLAYTIME EXPRESS POLICIES

A) There is a cancellation fee of $10.00 plus the trip cost if owners fail to cancel their Playtime Express ride 24 hours prior to the ride. We want to ensure every client has the opportunity to utilize the Playtime Express and last minute cancellations hinder operations.

B) There will be a $50.00 clean up fee if your pooch releases their bowels or urinates on the Playtime Express van. Urban Pooch suggests ensuring your pooch has the opportunity to use the bathroom before the Playtime Express arrives to pick your pooch up.
