Helping You Care for Your Loved One’s Pets

Care for pets in Warwick can be particularly challenging. Pets can bring comfort, joy and companionship to older people, especially those living alone. But as time goes on, looking after a dog or cat can become more difficult, and it’s often family members who step in to help. During the school holidays, however, challenges can arise when parents with caring responsibilities try to balance pet care and time away.

Flexible home care and live-in care can both help to ease this pressure. These different forms of support can be arranged to suit timings relating to both the pet’s and family’s needs. As well as providing enriching experiences in the comfort of their own home, care services ensure that your loved one isn’t parted from their furry friend.

Home Care for Pets in Warwick

Home care helps older or vulnerable people to live in their own homes within their local community. If you regularly pop in to provide care for an elderly parent, for example, domiciliary care can provide cover for when you’re away on holiday. As well as collecting groceries, preparing meals, and assisting with housework, care assistants can care for your loved one’s pet. Timings can be flexible too, such as earlier or late dog walks in hot weather.  

Below are some of the pet care tasks that can be included within a care service:

Walking a dog at regular times of the day.

Feeding a cat, dog or small animal, as well as checking and topping up water bowls.

Taking a long-haired dog to the grooming parlour, as well as combing and bathing.

Assisting with veterinary appointments and administering medicine, such as giving drops or crushing tablets within food.  

Temporary Live-In Care

If an elderly parent relies on you to provide a greater level of support, then you could consider temporary live-in care. This service provides 24/7 personalised care in the home, giving everyone full peace of mind when an adult child with caring responsibilities is away.

Live-in care covers a wide range of support including assisting with personal hygiene and administering medication. Dedicated Live-in Care Assistants will ensure your elderly parent or grandparent are safe and comfortable during the day and evenings. As well as providing support and companionship, Live-in Care Assistants can also care for people’s pets.

If you are a carer who needs a break, you can also arrange flexible ‘respite care’ to cover your caring responsibilities while you are away.
