Refund & Cancellation Policy

Last updated: October 17, 2026

This policy explains how cancellations, rescheduling and refunds work for bookings made with Paws & Cuddles Daycare & Boarding (pawpawpapa.com), Castro Valley, California. All prices are in U.S. dollars (USD). We sell services only, so there are no physical products to return.

Pet care services

This applies to overnight boarding, doggy daycare, house sitting, drop-in visits and dog walks.

  • Cancel by 12:00 PM (Pacific Time) three days before your booking starts: full refund.
  • Cancel after that: the first 7 booked calendar days from the date of your cancellation request are refunded at 50%, and any additional booked days are refunded in full.
  • Holiday and puppy surcharges follow the same rule as the days they apply to.
  • If we can’t accept your booking request, we refund your payment in full. If we have to cancel a confirmed booking, you receive a full refund.

Pet communication sessions (寵物溝通)

This applies to all pet communication plans and the quantum light touch session (量子送光觸療). Sessions are booked in a reserved Taiwan-time slot and paid at booking.

  • No refunds once a session is booked and paid.
  • One free reschedule if you contact us at least 24 hours before your session start time (Taiwan time).
  • Changes requested less than 24 hours before the session, and missed sessions (no-shows), cannot be rescheduled or refunded.
  • Time beyond your booked session is charged at US$2 per minute.
  • If our communicator has to cancel, you can choose a new time or receive a full refund.

How to cancel or reschedule

Text us at 415-619-4305 or email support@pawpawpapa.com with your booking number. For pet communication sessions you can also message us on LINE or WeChat. The time we receive your message is the time of your cancellation request.

How refunds are paid

Refunds are returned to your original payment method. Card refunds usually appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank. Zelle and Venmo payments are refunded through the same service.
