We found Hands N Paws online and were looking for a service to check in on our 2 cats while we were away on vacation. The team is so thorough and detailed in everything they do! They are extremely affordable, dependable, and locally owned so please support them! We plan on using them again next time we are out of town!

Awesome cat sitters! We hired Hands N Paws to take care of our two cats while we were on a week-long trip. Our cats require medicine and are pretty shy so we were worried about leaving them. The Hands N Paws team was SO responsive, and gave thorough reports (with pictures!) after every visit. When we arrived home, our cats were very relaxed and happy!

Meet Jake!

What do you do for fun?

I like to go running, listen to music, and play video games.

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

I wanted to work for Hands N Paws because I have always had a love for dogs. With the few that I had while growing up, to the ones I get to dog sit now, they have always made my day brighter. They say it’s the little things in life that can make a person happy, and for me that is being around dogs. You do not have to do much to win over their love, which is why I want to do my best to reciprocate the feeling.

What’s your experience working with pets?

I have been dog sitting for the last 3 years for friends and family in the area. From a small daschaund full of energy, to an older lab that likes to just sit back and chillax. Dog’s have always been a bright spot in my life. While I don’t own any pets at the moment, I do plan to get a corgi (my favorite breed) in the near future.

What special pet care skills do you have?

N/A

Share a recent experience in pet care that you’re really proud of.

Recently I was able to dog sit a golden doodle Buckeye, for the weekend while my friends were away at a wedding. For the entire time of the visit he didn’t want to leave my side. We went on many walks and enjoyed lots of play time. The best part about being with him is the love he wants to give to every new person he meets.

What do you hope to do for the pet parents at Hands N Paws?

I hope to provide a sense of peace & comfort for each pet parent that I work for. It is our responsibility as pet sitters to take care of their pets with the upmost care while they are away. There are already enough stressful things in life to worry about and working with Hands N Paws, I hope to be able to help out in any way that I can.

Meet Megan!

What do you do for fun?

Cuddle with my critters, read, being outside and active such as hiking, playing volleyball, spikeball, pickleball, etc.

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

I love animals and enjoy making them feel loved and happy.

What’s your experience working with pets?

I have personal experience as I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I also work at a dog daycare where I work with a large group of dogs of varying sizes and temperaments.

What special pet care skills do you have?

Trained in reading dogs’ body language and managing interactions between dogs.

Share a recent experience in pet care that you’re really proud of.

Sometimes when a dog first comes in for daycare they are very nervous and glue themselves to the wall. It is always an amazing feeling when you get the pup to trust you and get them comfortable enough to come out of their shell and show their personality.

What do you hope to do for the pet parents at Hands N Paws?

A peace of mind that their pet is being well taken care of and loved while they are away.

Meet Liz!

What do you do for fun?

Garden, work out, read, hang out with my kids and husband

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

I heard about the company´s great work through a client and personal friend. She raved about the excellent care her dog receives as well as the employees. I have always loved animals of all kinds, especially dogs and cats. I am looking for ways to stay busy, make extra money and do something fun and meaningful.

What's your experience working with pets?

I have had pets almost my entire life. As an adult, I have had at least 1 dog and 1 cat for the last 25 years. Throughout that time I have had many daily-life experiences with pets as well as emergency situations. I have fostered dogs, cats and rabbits throughout the years. I have gone through intensive and less intensive dog training with my dogs. I have cat and dog sat for friends and family members.

What special pet care skills do you have?

I am not sure I have any special pet skills, but animals generally like me and I tend to like them better than some humans. I am comfortable around all kinds of animals and enjoy their company. I believe that taking care of animals is an honor and privilege.

Share a recent experience in pet care that you’re really proud of.

My dog gets really excited when she sees other dogs while out on a walk. I was able to keep her focused on our walk the other day by using her commands. She stayed focused on me and what we were doing instead of trying to get to the other dog.

What do you hope to do for the pet parents at Hands N Paws?

I hope to provide peace of mind for the pet parents at Hands N Paws. I hope that I can help them to know that even though they cannot be with their pet(s) in that moment, the pet(s) are being loved and taken care of by me.

Meet Ingrid!

What do you do for fun?

Play soccer and workout.

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

I love animals and I love caring for them. I’ve had dogs my whole life and I have also done pet sitting for the past couple of years. Providing peace of mind to families who are away from their fur babies is my highest priority with this job!

What's your experience working with pets?

I have taken care of pets in my neighborhood for the last 2 years when families are away on vacation. I also care for my own 2 dogs, Migsy and Lilly.

What special pet care skills do you have?

I’m good at meeting each animal where they are. Some animals need a slower, more cautious approach and some want to go high energy interaction right away. I can quickly recognize what kind of animal I’m with and respond the way that’s best for them.

Share a recent experience in pet care that you’re really proud of.

I was recently asked to watch a dog overnight that the owners knew I was the only one who could handle her boisterous personality. She did great and the owners were very happy with the care I gave her.

What do you hope to do for the pet parents at Hands N Paws?

Trust that their babies are being loved and completely cared for in their absence.

Meet Olivia!

What do you do for fun?

Paint, yoga, watch movies, play Nintendo switch, take walks outside, read, volunteer helping women in recovery from substance use

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

Outside of being an avid animal lover, I really like the structure and organization of Hands N Paws as a company. I’m excited to be a part of a great team!

What's your experience working with pets?

I grew up with various pets (large and small dogs, cats, birds, small animals, etc.) I worked for a dog boarding facility and helped care for the animals, I worked in a veterinary clinic, I’ve worked for another local dog walking company, and also have a few regular clients that I board on Rover!

What special pet care skills do you have?

My chihuahua, Tinkerbell, sadly passed away last year, but she had progressive kidney disease, arthritis, blindness, epilepsy as well as neurological issues which required a special level of care. For the last few years of her life, I had to medicate her twice a day, feed her a special diet, assist her with her mobility issues and make sure she was comfortable and happy in her environment. I am comfortable medicating animals, I know how to handle a seizure and I know how delicate to be with senior dogs that need an extra level of care.

Share a recent experience in pet care that you’re really proud of.

An owner of one of my cat clients on Rover came into a situation where they had to rehome their cat. They trusted me and asked if I’d be willing to take him in – which I happily accepted! I found out after adopting him and getting his vet paperwork that we share the same birthday! I took that as a sign it was meant to be 😊 I lost my dog a couple of weeks after and he was a huge source of comfort during that time. Thankful to have him!

What do you hope to do for the pet parents at Hands N Paws?

I hope to provide the pet parents comfort and security in knowing that their pets will always be treated with respect and have as much fun as possible while in my care!

Meet Melissa!

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy reading, swimming, and all things Disney.

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

I wanted to align myself for professional development in the pet industry.

What's your experience working with pets?

I have provided pet care services including overnight sitting, pet sitting, and dog walking for 8 years. I have worked with horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, and more!

Share a recent experience in pet care that you’re really proud of.

I always am highly pleased when I’m told an animal whom doesn’t approach strangers loves all over me. Most recently it happened with a mutual friend’s labrador retriever. The dog was afraid of loud noise, and new friends often brought loud noises. I only knew this once the dog was in my lap for love.

What do you hope to do for the pet parents at Hands N Paws?

I hope to instill a sense of pride in the pet parents at Hands N Paws.

Meet Graham!

Meet Alyssa!

What do you do for fun?

I love to fish. I love to go to Cedar Point with my friends.

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

I wanted to start my journey away from the restaurant industry. I love animals and helping others, this was a perfect opportunity to do both!

What’s your experience working with pets?

I worked at pet palace for a summer in high school as a Pet Care Specialist! I enjoyed every second of working with and learning from the dogs and cats! I have always had pets at home growing up so I’m used to the everyday tasks that go into owning a pet.

What special pet care skills do you have?

I’m pretty confident in my ability to read a dog or cat’s body language. I taught my dog all the tricks she knows so if a client had a puppy they needed some extra help with (sit or stay or shake), I would be happy to help! :)

Share a recent experience in pet care that you’re really proud of.

There’s a cat in my neighborhood, who is an outside boy during times of the day. My dog has always wondered and cried when she passes him. Slowly I started to engage the two of them and now my dog and the cat are starting to create a sweet bond that I never expected her to have.

What do you hope to do for the pet parents at Hands N Paws?

I hope to provide security and peace of mind to all the future pet parents that I’m going to interact with. I hope to provide proper love and care to all the animals, just like they’re mine!

The terms of this agreement are as follows: “Client” refers to you, “Company” refers to us (Hands N Paws), “Team Member” refers to the person from our team providing services for your pets, and “Team Members” refers to the Hands N Paws team as a whole.

 

Emergency Veterinary Treatment & Client Responsibility Policy

It is important to inform Hands N Paws of any specific emergency instructions or medical conditions related to Client’s pets. This will help ensure the safety and well-being of pets during emergencies.

In case any of Client’s pets need emergency veterinary treatment, Team Member will contact the designated vet on file and/or a local emergency vet. Team Member will also communicate with Client and/or emergency contacts regarding the situation.

Client gives permission to Team Member to transport the pet(s) to a veterinary clinic and/or make treatment decisions (except for euthanasia), especially if it’s a life-threatening emergency and/or Client cannot be immediately reached. Client is responsible for any veterinary fees incurred. 

Client releases Hands N Paws from any liability for any damage or harm to pets or property that occurs beyond the reasonable control of Team Member during the provision of emergency veterinary care. 

Pet Vaccination, Licensing & Identification Policy

To comply with local laws and ordinances, it is required that all pets have the appropriate vaccinations and licenses before Company begins services. For further information on these requirements, please visit the Ohio State Bar Association’s website at https://www.ohiobar.org/public-resources. Client should also check with his/her veterinarian to determine which vaccinations/shots the pet requires. 

For safety reasons, we encourage all dogs and cats to wear an ID tag or collar that includes name and contact number while Team Member is working with them.

 

Secure Access & Lockbox Policy

To ensure access to Client’s home during scheduled services, Hands N Paws requires that Client purchases a lockbox and places a spare house key(s) inside of it for Team Member to use. Client can purchase the lockbox on Hands N Paws’ website by clicking Buy Your Lockbox. Once it arrives, the lockbox should be programmed with a unique four-digit code. The lockbox should then be placed on the main door handle or in another secure location, and the lockbox code and location information must be entered in the Client’s account on Precise Petcare.

Alternatively, Client may elect to provide a code for entry via a garage door or electronic keypad and if so, must enter all necessary codes in Precise Petcare. Client is strongly encouraged to purchase a lockbox, however, to ensure that Team Member can access pets at all times during scheduled services, especially in situations where the power goes out or batteries die and Team Member need alternative access to the home.

 

Client Communication & Privacy Policy

All Team Members have access to Clients phone number, but are instructed to only use them when necessary or for urgent purposes during services with pets. Hands N Paws prioritizes the privacy and confidentiality of phone numbers as personal information.

All correspondence between Client and Team Member should be centered around Client’s pets and the services provided. If Client has inquiries regarding scheduling, cancellations, app-related matters, or any company-related concerns, these are to be directed to the Company via the office number: (614) 636-6644. The Company’s client support team is available during office hours, Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm. We are closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal Holidays. The Company will make contact with Client outside of office hours should there be any urgent need for communication.

 

Pet Information Accuracy & Accessibility Policy

In order to provide the best possible service to pets, it is crucial that Client provides Team Member with detailed and up-to-date information regarding their pets. This information should be accurate, complete, and accessible through the Client’s account in Precise Petcare. Team Members can only work on the basis of the information that is available to them through the Client’s account in Precise Petcare. Likewise, Client acknowledges that the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the information they provide directly impacts the quality of the services delivered. Client, therefore, takes full responsibility for any consequences that arise from inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated account information.

 

Flexible Service Arrival Time Policy

Arrival times for services occur within a two-hour period. Team Members are unable to guarantee exact arrival times due to various factors that may affect scheduling and travel times. To accommodate these considerations, we use time blocks rather than specific times. Client will see this in the dropdown menu when Client selects Arrival Time in the request service form within their Client account.

While Team Members understands that Client may have preferences regarding arrival times, it is essential to acknowledge that Team Members cannot guarantee meeting those specific requests. Flexibility is needed in order for Team Members to accommodate for needs of other Clients on schedule.

Declined Payments: In the event of a declined auto-charge, Client will be promptly notified. After the first declined charge, Client has a 24-hour grace period to rectify the issue. In the case of a second declined attempt, a late fee of 10% of the invoice total (minimum $10) will be added. Client must be attentive to emails regarding overdue notices.

Payment Terms: Hands N Paws will be paid the agreed-upon amount as discussed, with no exceptions, unless our Cancellation Policy (outlined below) applies and the Client receives a refund in the form of an Account Credit(s). In emergency circumstances, a refund may be issued as transferable credit(s) back to the Client’s card.

Additional Fees: Client may be charged additional fees if Team Members are instructed to, or determine the need to, purchase items for the pet(s) while under the care of Hands N Paws. These items may include pet food or treats, litter or cleaning supplies, transportation to the vet, or emergency expenses for the general care of the pet(s). Hands N Paws and/or Team Member will consult with Client before making any purchases, and will retain and share any receipts as proof of purchase.

 

Service Cancellation/Refund Policy

When Client schedules services with Hands N Paws, the Company has likely turned down other work so as to devote our time to the work requested from said Client.

Client understands and accepts the Company cancellation/refund policy as outlined below:

– 100% refund is issued as Account Credit if cancellation is made at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled service(s).

– 50% refund is issued as Account Credit if cancellation is made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled service(s).

– NO refund is issued for same-day cancellations/less than 24 hour notice.

PLEASE NOTE: Refunds are NOT transferable. Should Client be eligible to receive an Account Credit (based on terms above), that will be auto-added to his/her account and applied to the very next invoice with us.
