Our emergency weather plans are definitely changing as things develop. As of now, it appears a bad cell will be moving through our service area during our dinner visits. Due to the level of threat our area is facing, we have decided to pause all services during this timeframe and clear our schedule as of now from approximately 5-7pm. Please note, clients scheduled during this time will be cared for outside of this window and Elaine is actively clearing our teams schedules during this time so they can shelter in a safe place. Should we need to adjust this window or extend it, we just want to emphasize that your pets will still be cared for when it is safe for our team to do so. You don’t need to lift a finger or worry! We’ve handled this situation many times and everyone’s safety is always our priority.

Should you be a client of ours that is home with our fur-friends, just make sure you’re prepared. Have shoes, blankets, leashes or cat carriers, and water in a prepared shelter area in your home. I would also put some of their food into a zip lock bag and keep it nearby with flashlights and whatever you feel is necessary. If we can help you in anyway, just reach out to our management team! 937-303-PAWS (7297)

We love you, Maya 🌷 a special note from our founder Katie:

Words have left me pretty speechless today. This sweet girl had been in our lives for over a decade. Today, my management team and I gathered around her as she took her last breaths. I’ve done this for many, because death doesn’t wait for you to be there. It never gets easier... I am so incredibly proud of the women on my team, to come along side me and love this sweet girl when she needed us the most. We’re also thankful for Suburban Veterinary Clinic and Pines Pet Cemetery for their care of her as well.

We’ve been busy and a little MIA from social media. But I wanted to pop on here personally and express my extreme sympathy for the loss of Lexi, Luna, Bella, Max and Duke’s owner.
We take a limited number of cases into our Paws of Hope program where we donate services to those in need of care while undergoing medical treatments that leave them immunocompromised or unable to care for their pet. We do this to ensure the animals are able to stay in their home, and not add more heartache during such trying times. For over a year and a half she was a recipient of our care, and we received the unfortunate news of her passing.
We ask that you join us in prayers for her family during this difficult time, and that her furry loves grieve this loss as best they can.

Our Story

It all started a really long time ago... the idea first entered Katie’s mind when she was working long hours on the ambulance, and her own dog had been stuck inside all day. A dear friend of hers was also working late, and they jokingly said, “Wouldn’t it be great if we had someone who could get our dogs out??!”

Fast forward to Katie gearing up to finish her degree in Fire Science and landing an amazing internship opportunity with Dayton Fire in their Fire Prevention and Investigation department... Quite literally, what she thought was her dream career. At the time she had two small kids already, and realized that focusing her life chasing a career meant that she was missing out on what life really needed from her.

She left both the ambulance company and her internship knowing there was no turning back... She took some time to figure out what was next, and that idea kept coming back to the forefront. At the time she decided to go for it, she was driving through the Bad Lands out west with her Husband, Matt, who was fast asleep in the passenger seat. During his nap, she developed in her mind a business plan, and even came up with the company name “Homeward Bound.” With her literally driving back home to Ohio, it also being a favorite childhood movie sentiment, and her business model of actually going to client homes to care for pets... It was perfect.

Fast forward life 7 years... two more children... and a lot of work - Her business is now caring for more than 300 neighbors in the area, with a full team of employees. To Katie, this business has evolved so much from being a way to initially make extra money doing something she loved while still having time with her children... To now setting a standard in the community for our industry while also having the ability to support the family of her staff which is so important to her.
