Pet parents often concern over how best to care for their dogs while away or traveling.
Dan Lioy, co-creator of SafeJourney Pet Sitting, redeveloped a Victorian home as a crate-free kennel so that he and his staff can provide 24-hour care in a residential setting. SafeJourney quickly learned that older dogs and dogs with special needs have few safe spaces for boarding and socializing in the Portland community. “We often hear from pet parents that their older pet was denied access to doggie daycare because of incontinence, feeding needs, or limited mobility,” said Lioy.
SafeJourney opened the SoJourner House, which is a space just for older dogs and dogs with special needs such as diabetes or anxiety. This space is used to house a small group of appropriate dogs while their parents are away. SafeJourney also holds elder dog play at the SoJourner House. “It is SafeJourney’s hope that this space will help improve the quality of life and health for older and special needs dogs,” said Shawn Ryan, director of SafeJourney.
