To help answer any immediate questions or concerns, here is a list of the common questions we are often asked by pet parents.
There has been a lot of talk in the local news about issues with app-based pet sitting services. I want to encourage pet parents to research potential candidates/businesses to care for your "kids". Don't be afraid to interview multiple individuals in person, ask questions, and gather as much information you can before making a decision.
As a Fear Free Certified Professional Pet Sitter, Kat is a member of Pet Sitters International, insured/bonded, trained/certified in Pet First Aid/CPR, and participates in year-round continuing education.
As a solo cat sitter/dog walker, Kat will be the only caregiver visiting with your pets at your home while you are away. For the health and safety of Pet(s) and the security of your home, KADO does not share pet care responsibilities with Client's friends, family members, neighbors, and/or other individuals or companies. If this continues to be the case, services will be discontinued.

Every other day visits are not offered because it is a huge safety concern. There have been instances where kitties have found themselves accidentally trapped in a bedroom and needed assistance to get out. A lot can change in 48 hours, and by that time it might be too late for medical intervention. By visiting with Fluffy on a daily basis, ensures she appears healthy, has fresh food/water, her litterbox is scooped, and to make sure there are no concerns regarding the home while you are away.
No. KADO is not a boarding facility, Kat brings the services to the client's home.
Yes. To help prevent the spread of contagious diseases and parasites, all pets subject to the Services are required to be current on their rabies vaccination (or titers) and other preventative measures requested by KADO while under the care of KADO. If cats or dogs are to young to receive their rabies vaccine, current vaccinations records must be upload their profile. As they receive additional vaccinations, including their rabies, their vaccination records/certificates must be updated. Cage pets and birds are required to receive any preventative measures deemed necessary by their veterinarian and have a health certificate on file.
Yes! As a Certified Professional Pet Sitter, Kat has had years of experience and training administering oral, topical, and injectable medications to cats and dogs as prescribed by their veterinarian.

No. If Client, family member, or Pet(s) are contagious, services will not be provided by KADO.
