Do you use Lockboxes?

Yes! Urban Tailz will provide new clients with their own lockbox for a one-time $12 setup fee ($25 for larger box if your keys do not fit). You're able to pick your own 4-digit code, and the lockbox location is noted in the access instructions on your account so your keys are always accessible to you. We do ask for a backup set of keys that's left in office in case of emergencies.
We believe lockboxes make things easier on everyone! You'll also know where your keys are at all times and never have to worry about who has keys to your home at any given moment. We understand you might not feel comfortable with a lockbox at your home or you may live in a door person building where a lockbox is not needed. We will work with you on what is best for your needs.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a $5 admin charge added for each night/weekend walk scheduled if you do not have a lockbox installed at your home or if you do not live in a door person building.
