Special Care

Thoughtful Support for Pets with Unique Needs

Leaving your pet with a stranger is hard enough — but leaving them when you know they can be a lot to handle, even for you, is something else entirely. Trust me, I know the feeling. You worry whether someone will have the patience, intuition, and heart to care for them the way you do.

That’s where I come in.

Doggywalkie provides specialized, one-on-one care for senior pets, special needs animals, and pets managing medical or emotional challenges. The best part? It’s always just me. No rotating caregivers. No hand-offs. Just consistent, calm care from someone who truly gets it.

With over 20 years of professional pet care experience, I offer intentional, relationship-based support tailored to your pet’s routines, limitations, and personality. This page offers an overview of my special care services, with dedicated pages available for each specialty below.

Senior Pet Care

Gentle, Respectful Care for Aging Companions

As pets age, their needs change — often quietly. Senior pets require caregivers who slow down, pay attention, and adjust with care. Doggywalkie offers peaceful walks and attentive in-home visits designed to support aging companions while honoring their comfort and dignity.

I work with pets experiencing mobility changes, sensory decline, cognitive shifts, and age-related health concerns. Every visit is adapted to how your pet is feeling that day — with patience, reassurance, and familiarity built in.

Special Needs Pets

Patient, Experienced Care for Pets Who Need Extra Understanding

Some pets need more than basic care — they need understanding. Whether your pet is anxious, reactive, fearful, or a rescue with a complicated past, I approach each visit with calm confidence and respect for boundaries.

Care is always one-on-one, unrushed, and routine-based, allowing trust to build naturally over time. Your pet will never be overwhelmed, hurried, or misunderstood.

When your pet has medical needs, consistency and follow-through are essential. I’m experienced in supporting pets with ongoing conditions, recovery periods, and structured care routines.
