Calm pace and attention to the small signals of age
Senior dogs (7+ years) need a different rhythm than puppies and adults. Shorter walks, more naps, predictable routines, careful attention to joints, weight, and any change in behavior that signals decline. A senior dog sitter in Bologna who has handled older dogs before recognizes the early signs (limping, water intake change, appetite drop) and communicates them to you immediately.
Petme charges Bologna pet owners 0% commission. The per-visit rate you agree with your sitter is the full price, with no service fees. Every booking automatically includes up to 20.000€ in vet protection per booking, important coverage for senior dogs that may need emergency care unexpectedly. Cashback is credited automatically after every completed visit.

Why Bologna pet owners book senior dog sitting on Petme
Sitters trained for older dogs
Filter for profiles that mention senior-dog experience. Sitters recognize early decline signals: limping, water intake change, appetite drop.
Shorter, more frequent walks
For an older dog, 3 outings of 15-20 minutes often work better than one long walk. Joints benefit from gentle movement, not distance.
Medication administration
Many sitters list medication experience: daily pills, transdermal ear gel, sub-cutaneous fluids. Filter for "medication experience" before the meet-and-greet.

Included on every booking. Important for senior dogs that may have unexpected cardiac, renal, or neurological emergencies.
