OVERNIGHT
STAYS
Many pets simply do better with companionship and supervision — not just during the day, but through the night as well.
It might be a younger, healthy pet whose family understands that pets are family, and wants that continuity of care to remain intact. Perhaps the pet is not a good candidate for boarding, or they experience anxiousness when family is away. And visits from a neighbor, relative or even a pet sitter just won't do.
Some families share their lives with a pet — or multiple pets — with assessments like aggression or fear aggression. For them, keeping pets at home where surroundings are familiar and anxiety is low is often the best approach, with a caregiver who understands crate-and-rotate and other safety strategies to keep pets physically separated.
Or it might be a dog with separation anxiety whose family needs a caregiver with the experience and skill to manage their care — including scrupulously timed medications — and the dedication to truly meet their needs.
SENIOR & GERIATRIC PETS
It's not uncommon for a family to reach a crossroads with a senior or geriatric pet where boarding is no longer a sound option, and the previous caregiving arrangement — perhaps a pet sitter, a neighbor, a grad student — simply isn't enough anymore.
Changing mobility, greater needs of time and attention, along with the necessity for more skilled oversight to manage and monitor health challenges all make for not only being there overnight a must, but for the pet to have companionship during the daytime hours.
HOSPICE CARE
Families who share life with a pet who is medically fragile, whether that's due to increasing needs related to late stage age-related decline, or because of a progressive or terminal diagnosis at any age, the idea of being away for a night or more can feel impossible. That's understandable.
The top-shelf care that the pet's status demands is available. Provided by one highly-skilled caregiver with over 20 years of experience and is certified in all aspects of animal hospice and palliative care, families need not feel torn about forgoing necessary travel, having a break for a couple of days from caregiving duties. Nor do they need to feel conflicted about who's at the helm when they're away.
With Lorrie — who is a Fear Free Certified Professional, Certified Animal Hospice Practitioner & Certified Hospice Palliative Care Advocate — families benefit from having an experienced, confident caregiver who can manage any behavioral assessment or diagnosis and any level of complexity. And that includes medications and involved daily regimens. They can rest assured that their pet's medical, physical, mental, and emotional needs are being met, along with meaningful companionship, around the clock. And they can focus on any length of time away, worry free knowing all of that and having personalized updates that clearly detail how their pets are doing.
With two different frameworks for families to choose from that are designed to meet a pet's needs and provide personalized care, families often say that they regret not getting in touch sooner to tap into such exceptional care.
