Yes. Dog bites are statistically the most likely way for our staff to get injured and animals are unpredictable in their own homes. It's very clear in the lease this is always required, but we are mainly concerned with the time we are in the home. We've also had cats slip out. Our staff, and especially vendors who are often in and out grabbing tools, simply cannot be relied on to keep your pet safely in the home. While work is being done cats can get injured. Other types of pets are even more unpredictable and at risk of those issues and more. Do your pet a crucial favor and keep them safe while we knock out what is usually at most a twice-a-year owner requirement, and of course, during those maintenance inconveniences we all deal with.
