Pet Taxi & Check-In and Poo Clean

Pet Taxi & Check-In and Poo Cleaning Services- STARTING July 9th- AVAILABLE DAILY!! I am back in Ohio! https://pettaxicheck-inservice dot com This is an "at your home pet check-in service" and "transportation service" for your pet in the local area(s). I also do poop clean up in your residential yard for $40 a time- will use your trash or remove from premises for an additional fee. Do you need your pet to go to the groomer, or get a vet check up, or enjoy a walk in the park, and you cannot find the time? Or you do not drive and public transportation will not allow pets to ride? Here is your solution.... the LOCAL PET TAXI is at your service! The Pet Taxi cost is $60 round trip with a max distance of 20 miles from my residence. If over 20 miles away, then the cost is $80. $5 additional per pet, please. I am located in Lake County and look forward to checking in or transporting your beloved pet to wherever they need to go! "Check-In" [Drop-In] Visits I stop by my client's home while they're away a few times a day (Usually 3-4X is most common) for 30-45 minutes each time to feed, take out to potty, and play with their pets. The fee for check-ins run between $18-20 a visit, depending on the distance and the amount of times needed, holiday rates, number of pets, etc. Overnight sitting in your home is at a higher rate and dependent on scheduling availability. (This would not include staying at the residence all day; just over-night with your pet.) Pet sitters take care of our most treasured furry friends and help ease the stress and discomfort that comes with a disrupted schedule for your dogs. They’ll still miss you, but having someone available for belly rubs, food, and fetch can help take their minds off the misery. If you need your yard picked up after your pup’s poop- I offer that service too!!

We had a last minute caregiver cancellation one day prior to a non refundable vacation and had to find someone to administer a once daily injectable to our cat for 4 days. This person claims to be experienced and lists “injectable medication administration” as a skill so we had her come and demo that she could handle it. Nightmare scenario. I show her how to draw the dose and administer a simple subcutaneous 1.5ml injection then had her draw and administer the rest of the 2ml dose. She had difficulty drawing the dose, removing air from the vial to the point where I had to show her, then when I let her attempt on my cat, she literally just went perpendicular to his body as if to stab at an organ… I was there to stop it. I even let her try one more time with me tenting the skin and she missed the cat entirely, spraying the medicine on his body… we also had a contingency plan with the oral version of this medicine. So we were still desperate but asked if she could at least demo administering a 5 ml oral syringe of water to our boy. She didn’t even know how to hold or scruff him, was super uncomfortable handing the cat in general (he is very sweet and not aggressive btw) but she also spray the water just all over with almost none getting in his mouth. Luckily, our neighbor was there because she signed up to help hold/comfort our boy while he gets his doses stepped up and gave him his oral meds no problem…. I don’t like to leave bad reviews, or potentially cost someone work but I am sorry, this person has no right to claim any form of medication administering to animals and hope none have been harmed.
