🚗🐾 Every day is Pet Travel Safety Day! 🐾🚗
Traveling with your furry friends? Here are some important tips to keep them safe:
✅ Secure your pet in the back seat or cargo area with a harness, crate, or barrier. It’s safer for them and helps you stay focused on the road.
🚫 Never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle with the engine off. Temperatures can rise or drop quickly, putting their health—and life—at risk.
🏡 When in doubt, leave your pets at home where they’ll be safe and comfortable.
Let’s make every trip safe and stress-free for you and your pets! 💕

Over Christmas, I had the joy of caring for Cody, Monster, and Bella! Ensuring each cat gets the individualized care and attention they deserve can be a challenge, but it’s one I love taking on.
Bella kept me on my toes with her playful energy, Monster was all about the snuggles and extra love, and Cody? He preferred the comfort of his bed, greeting me with sweet meows to let me know how much he missed me.
It’s moments like these that make my job so rewarding. Thank you for trusting me with your fur babies, and welcome to the KADO family, Cody, Monster, and Bella! Can’t wait to see you all again soon. 🐾💖

✨ Cat Sitting Tips Every Pet Parent Should Know ✨
When it comes to hiring a cat sitter, daily visits are non-negotiable! A lot can happen in just 24 hours. Over the years, I’ve seen it all:
🐾 Cats accidentally locking themselves in rooms without access to food, water, or their litter box.
🐾 A curious kitty squeezing under a nightstand and hiding until they felt comfortable enough to come out and say hello.
🐾 Cats experiencing medical emergencies that required immediate attention.
Daily visits don’t just keep your feline family safe; they also ensure I can spot potential issues in your home, like:
🌳 Fallen tree branches after a storm.
🚰 Leaking pipes or water damage.
🔥 Even a stove accidentally left on!
If you’re traveling this December or planning ahead for 2025, I’d be honored to care for your cats like they’re my own. Availability for December is limited, but my 2025 schedule is now open for advance bookings.
📍 Proudly serving Eastlake, Waite Hill, Wickliffe, Willowick, Willoughby Hills, and Willoughby.

Happy Small Business Saturday! I’m a big supporter of small businesses because they’re truly the heart of our community. As a small business owner, I can tell you there’s nothing “small” about running a business—it takes dedication, passion, and determination to make a difference in the lives of pets and their people right here in our area.
To keep doing what I and so many other small business owners love, we need your support! Whether it’s purchasing a product or service, leaving a Google review, or recommending us to friends and family, every bit helps. Today and every day, let’s support the local businesses making a difference in our community. Without you, many of these businesses wouldn’t be able to keep their doors open. Thank you for supporting local!

Important Notice for Pet Parents 🐾
At Kat and Dogs Ohio LLC, the safety and well-being of your pets are my top priority! As a solo pet care provider, I will be the only person visiting and caring for your pets while you’re away. For the health of your pets and the security of your home, I do not share pet care responsibilities with friends, family, neighbors, or other companies.
🚨 Why I don’t offer every-other-day visits:
A lot can happen in 48 hours. For example, Fluffy could get trapped in a room or face a medical issue that requires immediate attention. Daily check-ins ensure that your cats stay safe and well cared for, with fresh food, clean water, a scooped litterbox, and a safe environment.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. Your pet’s health is always my number one priority!
I’ve had the pleasure of watching Princess grow up! She’s a bit on the shy side, loves her playtime, and always looks forward to our little chats. 🐾💖

Why does my dog insist on sniffing every blade of grass during our walks?
Just like we enjoy catching up on social media or reading the news, dogs gather information about their world through their noses. Sniffing allows them to learn about their environment, other animals, and even the latest "gossip" in the neighborhood. So, next time you're out walking with your furry friend, let them enjoy their sniffing session (under your watchful eye, of course)!
Keep your pet's food fresh and easy to identify by storing it in the original bag and placing it in a pet food container. This simple step ensures you always know what food your pet is eating, making it easier when it’s time to restock—perfect for you and your pet sitter!
As a dog owner and professional dog walker, I have encountered a wide range of dog walking equipment. With numerous options available, selecting the best one for you and your dog can be challenging. It is crucial to ensure that each dog is properly fitted and comfortable with their walking equipment. Today, I will highlight the equipment I prefer when walking dogs. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments.
Did you know it is recommended to have one more litter box than the number of cats in your home? For instance, if you have two cats, you should have three litter boxes. Additionally, ensure they are scooped daily.
Stay tuned for more tips!
Living with a diabetic pet? I can help assist you in creating a health plan tailored to your cat or dog’s needs!
Just like in people, our canine friends can experience allergic reactions. Whether it’s from food, insect bites, or environmental, having Benadryl (Diphenhydramine 25 mg) on hand can be lifesaving. However, it is important that you speak with your veterinarian before administering any medication to your dog.
Dosage can vary based on your dog’s weight and condition. A typical recommended dose of Benadryl is 1 mg per pound of body weight. While generally safe, dogs may experience side effects such as dry mouth and drowsiness. Always monitor your pup after administering Benadryl and contact your vet with any questions or concerns.
Hydrogen Peroxide (3 %) is a useful first aid antiseptic that every dog parent should have on hand. Should he/she eat something that they shouldn’t, your vet might have you induce vomiting before going to the clinic. A typical dose is 0.5-1.0 mL per pound for dogs-always check with your vet first before administering.
*DO NOT GIVE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO CATS. CALL YOUR VETERINARIAN IMMEDIATELY.
Pet Poison Helpline: https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/pet-tips/why-you-should-not-induce-vomiting-in-cats/
Hydrogen peroxide (3%) can be used as a first aid antiseptic or to induce vomiting in dogs, Benadryl can be used if your pup is having a minor allergic reaction, and honey or Karo syrup is used if pets are experiencing hypoglycemic symptoms. Contact your veterinarian for instructions and to find out if they need to be seen.
Loving this gorgeous weather we are having! How about you? Let me know in the comments.
Friendly reminder!
If your pet has been recently diagnosed or is living with a chronic condition, know that I am here to provide assistance. As someone who has dealt with similar situations before (diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc.) I understand the challenges ahead but believe we can find ways forward together by working collaboratively.

Our Story
Our pets are beloved family members and play an important role in our lives. They eagerly lend a paw to help us feel better during sad times and jump at the chance to go to the park!

Do you find yourself working long hours at the office and can't make it home on your lunch hour to let your dog out to relieve themselves? Are you planning a summer vacation and don't feel comfortable boarding your dog?
