Helping Seniors and Their Pets Stay Happy at Home

For many seniors, pets are more than companions—they’re family. But as mobility or energy levels change with age, everyday pet care tasks can become difficult. That’s why Silk In-Home Care offers non-medical pet care assistance to help seniors continue enjoying their pets without physical strain.

Our caregivers assist with a range of light pet care duties, allowing older adults to stay connected to the emotional and physical benefits of pet ownership—without the worry of handling everything alone.

We proudly serve seniors in Vinton, Jackson, Gallipolis, Athens, and nearby areas throughout Southeast Ohio.

Our Pet Assistance Services Include:

We tailor our services to meet both the senior’s and pet’s needs. Here’s how we help:

Daily Feeding and Water Refills

Caregivers ensure pets stay on schedule with fresh food and clean water.

Dog Walking and Outdoor Breaks

Gentle walks or quick bathroom breaks help maintain pet health and prevent indoor accidents.

Pet Cleanup Support

Assistance with litter box changes, waste removal, or tidying up pet messes in the home.

Transportation to Groomers or Veterinarians

We can drive seniors and their pets to vet checkups, grooming appointments, or pet stores.

Medication Reminders for Pets

We help seniors remember to administer pet medications or supplements at the correct times.

Emotional Support and Interaction

We encourage bonding time by helping seniors interact, cuddle, and play with their pets—even when strength or coordination is limited.

Who Benefits from Our Pet Care Services?

This service is ideal for seniors who:

  • Have limited mobility or are recovering from surgery

  • Struggle with bending, lifting, or walking long distances

  • Experience memory issues (like early-stage Alzheimer’s)

  • Are managing chronic illnesses or fatigue

  • Live alone and want to maintain the companionship of their pet

Why Pet Support Matters for Senior Health

Scientific studies have shown that pet ownership improves senior mental health, reduces loneliness, lowers blood pressure, and increases physical activity. But the physical demands of pet care can become barriers as we age.

With Silk In-Home Care’s help, seniors don’t have to give up their pets—or their independence.
