Perfect for an independent dog or one that would rather be at home than kenneled at the vet. Medication administration included.

Services for Seniors
Personal Assistant - We want you to be able to stay in your home for as long as possible. We can help with grocery shopping, taking trash to the curb, plant watering, conversation, meal prep, or laundry, be a walking partner, and accompany you to doctor appointments.
Peace of Mind - Quick stops and phone check-in services. If calls or doors are not answered, an alert call can be made to a friend or relative. Additional contact to a family member can be made with the client’s written approval. It's a great way to check in on an elderly relative (or teenager) at home by themselves.
Nursing Home and Hospital Visits
Monthly Socialish Visit - Everyone has a list of tasks they don’t want to do alone, have been avoiding for safety, or don’t have the energy for. If you don’t have a list, we can chat, play a game of cards, take a walk, or go have lunch. We will change a lightbulb, scrub the tub, clean out the refrigerator, bring up that box from the basement, drop a bag off for donation, return library books, bake a cake, take the winter clothes to the other room, get things ready for company, add a leaf to the table, repot that plant, plant flowers, sweep out the garage, etc. This is not a housekeeping visit.
