Private Care SERVICES Pet Care

Many of us enjoy the companionship and devotion of pets.  At all stages of life, the company of pets can bring pleasure and fulfillment.  Pets play a particularly important role for older people.

Our services include the care of pets – this is vital if you are travelling, working long hours, or can no longer care for your pet as you used to.  For older people it avoids the heartbreak of separation they would experience if they had to abandon their life-long friend or have it put down.

Flexible Services

  • We make sure pets are fed and have fresh drinking water
  • We ensure the home and garden are kept clean of any pet waste
  • We accompany older people if they wish to take their pet for a walk but can no longer safely walk their pet alone
  • We exercise dogs or organise dog walking when clients want this taken care of for them
  • We organise grooming – either at home or in a dog parlour
  • We administer and log medications, wormers and tick and flea prevention
  • We organise veterinary visits

Many retirement villages also allow pets. Where you have a pet in a retirmement village we can assist with its care. If you travel or are hospitalised our pet services continue at home to ensure your pet is safe and well

Case Study

Maria was a widow living with her beloved cattle dog, Daisy.  When Maria was admitted to residential aged care, Daisy was put into boarding kennels.
For 2 years Maria and the dog were pining for each other, and both were deteriorating. Maria’s family knew she would prefer to be at home, and ultimately found Private Care’s services. They arranged for her to return home with 24-hour support from Private Care. Daisy was brought home to be with her.

Daisy has been Maria’s constant companion, never leaving her side. She barks for the our carers whenever Maria needs them! Maria is now 101 and still happily at home with Daisy.

Key Benefits
