Helping seniors with their furry friends.

Connect with a friendly neighbor for help providing the care your pets need

Caring for pets and maintaining senior companionship

There are many benefits to having pets. Pets can provide reduced stress, lowered blood pressure, and decreased symptoms of depression and loneliness. They can also boost our social, emotional and physical wellbeing. However, as people get older, it can get harder to take care of our pets. As we age, some people have decreased mobility or strength problems that make it difficult to give their pets the exercise and care they need. This is where Senior Pals comes in. Senior Pals helps connect volunteers with their senior neighbors who need assistance caring for their pets.

Note: We are currently serving the 78746 zip code only.
