Pet Walking & Care

Pets are family, and keeping a beloved companion nearby is one of the great joys of aging at home. Our caregivers help clients care for their pets by providing dog walks, feeding, litter box cleaning, and gentle companionship for animals — so your loved one can keep the pet they love without the physical strain of daily pet care.

Who It's For

Is This the Right Fit?

Pet walking and care is for older adults who have a dog or cat at home but find the physical demands of pet care — walking, bending, lifting food bags, cleaning litter — increasingly difficult. It is also ideal for families whose loved one would be heartbroken to part with a pet but needs help keeping up with its daily needs.

A Day in the Life

What a Typical Visit May Look Like

A morning visit might begin with a friendly greeting and a quick check-in. The caregiver leashes the dog for a walk around the neighborhood — a gentle pace, with the client welcome to come along or stay in. Back home, the caregiver refills food and water bowls, scoops the litter box, and spends a few minutes offering the pet some attention and play before leaving a note about the visit.

Personalized

How the Care Plan Is Personalized

We learn your loved one’s pet — its routine, temperament, feeding schedule, and any special needs. Some clients want to walk alongside the caregiver; others prefer to stay home while the dog goes out. We adapt to what works for both your loved one and their pet.

Family

Family Involvement

Families can share pet care instructions, feeding schedules, and vet contact information. We report on how the pet is doing and flag anything that might need a vet visit, so both your loved one and their companion stay healthy.

Available Across Our Service Areas

Pet Walking & Care is available throughout Horry County, Georgetown County, and surrounding communities.

FAQ

Pet Walking & Care — Common Questions

Can the caregiver walk large or energetic dogs?

Yes. Our caregivers are comfortable handling a range of dog sizes and temperaments. We discuss your dog’s behavior and walking needs during the consultation to make sure we make the right match.

Does the client need to come on the walk?

Not at all. Some clients enjoy the walk and the fresh air; others prefer to stay home. Either way, the caregiver ensures the pet gets the exercise it needs.

Can you help with other pets besides dogs?

Yes. We can help with cats, birds, and other small pets — feeding, cleaning, and providing companionship. Share your needs and we will build it into the care plan.

Can you transport my pet to vet or groomer appointments?

We do not currently offer pet transportation to vet or groomer appointments. Our caregivers focus on in-home pet care — walks, feeding, litter box cleaning, brushing, and companionship. If your loved one needs transportation to their own medical appointments, our Transportation & Errands service can help with that, and we can coordinate with family members for separate pet transportation when needed.
