Senior Pet Care

A Little More Time. A Gentler Pace. The Care They Know.

As pets grow older, their needs often change. Walks may become shorter, stairs a little harder, medications more important, and familiar routines even more valuable.

Senior Pet Care from Paws & Pasture Care by Sharon provides patient, personalized in-home support for aging pets while respecting their abilities, comfort, and established routines.

The goal isn't to rush them through a standard visit. It's to provide the care they need at the pace that's right for them.

Personalized Care for Aging Pets

Every senior pet is different. Some remain active well into their later years, while others benefit from additional assistance and a quieter routine.

Depending on your pet's needs, visits may include:

• Gentle walks or potty outings

• Feeding and fresh water

• Extra time getting outside and back inside

• Mobility-conscious assistance

• Play or enrichment appropriate for their ability

• Quiet companionship

• Basic medication support when arranged in advance

• Litter box or pet-area care

• Monitoring for noticeable changes during the visit

• Care for other pets in the household

We'll establish your pet's normal routine before service begins.

When the Little Things Take More Time

Senior pets don't always operate on a schedule.

They may need another moment to stand, extra time on the stairs, encouragement to eat, a slower walk through the yard, or simply patience while they get comfortable.

Those extra moments matter.

Visits can be planned with your pet's individual abilities and routine in mind rather than expecting them to keep up with a younger animal's pace.

Medication & Special Routines

Many older pets have established medication, feeding, or daily-care routines.

When appropriate and arranged beforehand, I can help follow the routine you've established for your pet while you're away.

Please provide complete instructions and disclose medications, mobility concerns, behavioral considerations, and relevant care needs before service begins so we can determine the appropriate level of support.

Senior Pet Care is non-veterinary pet care and does not replace treatment, monitoring, or medical services provided by a veterinarian.

Dogs, Cats & Multi-Pet Homes

Senior care isn't just for dogs.

Older cats may need medication support, modified feeding routines, additional litter considerations, or simply someone willing to spend a little more time observing and interacting with them on their terms.

If your senior pet lives with younger animals, their care can often be coordinated as part of the same household plan.

Support When You're Home, Too

You don't have to be traveling to use Senior Pet Care.

This service may also be helpful when work, appointments, temporary schedule changes, or everyday responsibilities make it difficult to manage every part of your older pet's routine.

Sometimes you simply need another dependable person to help keep things consistent.

Care That Can Grow With Their Needs

A pet's needs at twelve may be different from their needs at fourteen.

As an established client's routine changes, we can discuss whether visit length, frequency, walking routines, or other care arrangements should change with them.

Let's Talk About Your Senior Pet

Tell me about your pet, their normal routine, mobility, medications when applicable, and the type of support you're looking for.

New in-home clients can arrange a complimentary meet-and-greet so I can meet your pet, learn their routine, and discuss their individual care needs before service begins.

Senior Pet Care is customized based on your pet and household, so custom quotes are provided rather than one-size-fits-all pricing.
