What We’re Doing to Prepare for Covid

Dear Clients,

I hope you’re all doing well and staying healthy. We just wanted to take a moment to reach out amidst the growing COVID-19 crisis. Currently, we do not foresee any disruption in our ability to offer services. While you may be asked to work from home, we can continue our services as scheduled in order to keep your pet’s routine normal. This will aid in keeping your workday free from interruption by your four-legged friend.

Based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) guidance for businesses and employers to respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), Running the Pack has created the following internal action plan:

• Actively encouraging sick employees to remain home until they are free of all symptoms.
• Making hand sanitizer and sanitizer wipes readily available.
• Reviewing proper hygiene procedures with employees.
• Requiring any employee who displays respiratory disease symptoms or have recently traveled to the CDC Traveler Health Notice Locations, to return home and receive medical clearance before returning to work
• Requiring that employees with sick family members or individuals at home notify us and remain home to receive medical clearance before returning.
• Request that clients who show symptoms described by the CDC of COVID-19 to notify us as we are coming into your homes.

Additionally, due to the large number of cancellations we are seeing, routes will be consolidated. While we are actively doing our best to minimize the need to lay off any walkers, the financial burden COVID-19 is having on the company will likely make this unavoidable.

If you have any questions or concerns about this plan, please feel free to contact the office.

Sincerely,
Jill Hourihan
Running the Pack
