Housecall Program

 

 

Our flagship program provides ongoing in-home

pet care support for low income New Yorkers

who have impaired mobility.

If you are living with an illness or disability and you are struggling with the day-to-day care of your pet, then PAWS NY might be able to assist.

The Housecall Program is our core program through which PAWS NY volunteers provide on-site home visits to our participants. Visits generally include: 

  • Dog walking
  • Litter maintenance
  • Medication administration
  • Provision of food and water
  • And more

Once someone becomes a member of the Housecall Program, PAWS NY is able to provide holistic, wrap-around pet care services as needed. Members of our Housecall Program also receive assistance with veterinary care, pet food and supplies, as well as foster care during medical emergencies.

NOTE: If you are interested in services or would like to refer someone, please contact us by email at [email protected] or by phone at 212-203-4760, Ext. 306.
