Helping Seniors and Their Pets in Coral Springs
Pets can be a wonderful source of companionship, love, and purpose for many people–including seniors. However, age-related health conditions can limit their ability to care for their pets. Mobility issues, cognitive impairments, and other conditions can all make pet care difficult; even things like pouring kibble in a pet’s bowl, brushing a cat’s fur, or taking a dog for a walk can become nearly impossible for many older adults. And, if your loved one were to move into an assisted living facility, they may not be allowed to take their beloved dog or cat with them.
Thankfully, our team at Visiting Angels of Coral Springs can provide extra assistance for your loved one and their pet. With the assistance of a Visiting Angels caregiver, your loved one will be able to manage pet care duties, avoid potential accidents, and keep their home tidy and hygienic.
Helping Seniors and Their Pets
At Visiting Angels of Coral Springs, we can offer your loved one the helping hand they need to take care of their own needs as well as those of their pets. With our personalized care plans, your loved one will receive the specific type of assistance they need to thrive at home. We can provide several different types of in-home assistance to help with pet ownership, including:
Chore Help
Our caregivers can offer your loved one a helping hand with physical tasks like filling water bowls, changing litter boxes, taking animals on walks, and more.
Help With Pet Transportation
If your loved one can no longer safely drive their car, our caregivers can provide transportation to veterinary clinics, pet stores, and grooming appointments. They can also help with shopping for pet supplies, ensuring that the animal's needs are always met.
Keeping an Eye Out for Tripping Hazards
Sometimes, pet messes, toys, and safety gates can create a tripping hazard in the home. Our caregivers are well-versed in identifying and addressing potential safety risks associated with pet ownership. This includes picking up pet-related items that your loved one may trip over, assisting with walking larger dogs to prevent falls, and promptly cleaning up any pet messes to maintain a hygienic living environment.
Compassionate Companionship
While pets are great at providing companionship on their own, our Angels can add a boost of social interaction and cheer to your loved one’s day. We are more than happy to join your loved one and their pet on trips to the Dr. Steven G. Paul Dog Park or even just a relaxing day in the backyard. Our caregivers are trained to provide emotional support and can help your loved one work through challenging emotions and difficult times.
How We Make a Difference

With our help, your loved one can maintain their independence, stay in their familiar home environment, and continue to care for their pets.
