Hands N Paws was an excellent pet sitting choice for our pets! Their daily journal, their notes, and comments kept us current about them while we were out for the week. Definitely the best decision taken as they were better taken care at a familiar surroundings, which was home. I recommend them 100% and I will surely call them for future trips. Thanks Benny and staff!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Hands N Paws! If you have pets, please try Hands N Paws if you need pet care. They are reliable, prompt, caring, trust worthy, and understand petcare. We have had Hands N Paws sit our two dogs on many occasions. They take the time to update you and we completely trust them with our pets and having access to our home. We wish we could take our pets with us on every trip, but sometimes it is not possible. For those times, Hands N Paws allows us to enjoy our time away, knowing our pets are well-cared for. Wonderful thoughtful owner and employees.

Graham P.

What do you do for fun?

Going to hockey games

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

I love all animals!

What's your experience working with pets?

I personally have had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve also flown doodle puppies across states to new owners. I have also house sat and dog sat for days in a row and overnight.

What special pet care skills do you have?

I am extra gentle with all animals.

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

I once flew to New York with a doodle puppy and gave him to his new parents.

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

I hope to provide reassurance and trust.

Elyza M.

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy being outside riding my bike, walking and spending time with my partner, consuming media in the form of music and tv dramas, and I also am an artist. I am currently working towards honing my craft to be a tattoo artist in the future.

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

I have a passion for providing animals with quality care. We are their advocates and it is our responsibility to provide the best quality of care to them within our abilities. I also love meeting new animals and learning their personalities. It brings me a great deal of fulfillment to see an animal thrive under my care.

What’s your experience working with pets?

I have grown up with 7 cats, a few birds, fish tanks, hampsters, geckos, and 3 dogs. I’ve always vacationed in places where I have interacted with local wildlife as well. As I have gotten older, I’ve adopted 2 ball python snakes and my own cat. Being constantly surrounded by animals throughout my whole life has allowed me learn patience and confidence while handling, caring for, and existing around all types of animals.

What special pet care skills do you have?

I am familiar and comfortable caring for exotic animals such as crested geckos, leopard geckos, and ball pythons. I have researched a lot about reptile care over the last few years and would say that I have a fairly knowledgeable understanding about the care practices used for these types of animals.

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

After moving to a new city and bringing my 13 year old childhood cat with me, I changed her diet to senior wet food and started playing with her more. In just a few weeks her behavior did a 360. She was acting like a kitten again! Playing with the string and the laser, rolling around on the carpet and squeaking, and also taking increased interest in the outside noises and birds and people. Making such a simple conscious decision to change her diet for the better transformed her into her true self and I am really proud of that.

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

Peace of mind. I strive to provide my highest quality service to the pet parents so that they hopefully don’t have any anxiety about their pet care again.

Nicole L.

What do you do for fun?

I enjoy going for motorcycle rides, boating with the family (including our fur babies), and camping. I love country concerts and festivals all year round. Family time is important to me. My son and I take special little trips or activities once a month to stay connected.

Why do you work at Hands N Paws?

I know how important good pet care is and how hard it can be to find. I have 3 fur babies at home, all with different wants and needs. I have had good experiences and bad throughout the years and when I found Hands N Paws, I knew this is where I wanted to be. Hands N Paws cares for your pet as if they were their own. They ensure the safety of your pets and the dependability, and trustworthiness of the employees.

What's your experience working with pets?

I have previous volunteer history in a shelter as well as with a local rescue organization. I have fostered 13 rescues (all breeds) over the years (and adopted 3 of them). I currently have a senior Australian Shepherd, a toddler Terrier, and a step fat cat who rules the roost. Prior to fostering dogs for the shelter, my family consisted of 3 kitties all of different ages with medical issues.

What special pet care skills do you have?

I have experience with different temperaments and special needs as well as the administering of oral and topical medication.

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

I am really proud of my last foster. I took in an 8-week-old puppy. She obviously was not potty trained or crate trained. Over the course of her stay with us, I managed to tremendously reduce the number of accidents in the house (no more training pads needed) and teach her that her crate was her safe space. She also stopped crying at night altogether and started learning how to walk on a leash. I am happy to say she found her furever home!

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

I hope to provide clients with a peace of mind that their pet is being loved and cared for in their absence.

Dog Walking Service 1
(614) 636-6644

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.

Meet N Greet Policy

To ensure a personalized experience for new Clients, Hands N Paws requires virtual Meet N Greets before getting started with pet services. These meetings allow us to connect with Clients and discuss their pet care needs.

All Meet N Greets come at a $25 cost and are about 20-30 minutes in length.

Meet N Greets can be scheduled on our website at www.myhandsnpaws.com.

Client has until the date of the last confirmed service to manually pay the remaining balance on the invoice. If manual payment is not made, the remaining total will be automatically charged to the card on file on the date of the last service day on that invoice.

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).

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.

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

Service Terms

Hands N Paws agrees to provide the services stated in this contract in a reliable, caring, and trustworthy manner. In consideration of these services and as an express condition thereof, Client expressly waives and relinquishes any and all claims against Hands N Paws arising out of or relating to the provision of services hereunder, except those arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct on part of Hands N Paws.

Client understands and acknowledges that the environment in which they are requesting Hands N Paws to complete services is reasonably sanitary and safe. If it is determined that home conditions are unsanitary and/or unsafe at any point in the working relationship, Company will make it known to Client. Action will be taken accordingly thereafter.

Additionally, Hands N Paws will not terminate during a period of scheduled service unless Hands N Paws determines, at their sole discretion, that a serious danger exists to the health or safety of Team Members or pets. If such concerns preclude Hands N Paws from providing further care for the pets, Client agrees to pay for their pet to be boarded at a boarding facility or taken under the care of another party until Client returns. All attempts will be made to notify Client and/or emergency contacts regarding such situations.

Client understands and acknowledges that he/she is responsible for letting Hands N Paws know of anyone who has access to their home during the duration of services booked.

Client may make online reservations for additional services at any time during the terms of this contract, as subject to Hands N Paws availability. All scheduled services will be governed by all the terms of this contract.

Client acknowledges that by signing below, he/she is providing written approval for the provision of services by Hands N Paws during any service period scheduled by Client and confirmed by Hands N Paws.
