Senior Dog Care

Home - Senior Dog Care

As dogs age, they deserve even more love, comfort, and patience. At Bryan Kite Dog Sitting, we understand that senior dogs need a calm, safe, and supportive environment to thrive. Older dogs often face mobility challenges, dietary needs, and anxiety when separated from their families. That is why our senior dog care services are designed to offer more than just a place to stay; they provide a nurturing home environment where older pets feel secure, cared for, and respected.

A Home-Like Space for Aging Companions

Unlike traditional kennels or boarding facilities, we welcome dogs into a warm, dog-friendly home. We host only a small number of pets at a time, which allows us to give your senior dog our full attention. The familiar household environment makes the transition easier, reducing stress and anxiety for older pups who may not adapt well to noisy or crowded settings.

Your dog will enjoy:

Comfortable resting areas with soft bedding
Quiet spaces for relaxation and naps
Gentle daily walks tailored to their pace and mobility
Affectionate care with plenty of treats, cuddles, and reassurance

Personalized Care for Every Senior Dog

Every senior dog is unique, and we take time to understand his or her health needs, habits, and preferences. From feeding schedules to medication routines, our services are personalized to match your dog’s lifestyle. We know older dogs may require extra attention, so we create a plan to ensure their stay feels as close to home as possible.

Individual attention: We keep group sizes small, so every dog receives personal care.
Customized feeding: Meals are served based on dietary needs or special instructions.
Medication management: We follow your veterinarian’s directions carefully to maintain your dog’s health.
Routine preservation: Familiar routines, like feeding times and walks, help senior pets stay calm and comfortable.
