At POOPS WA, we understand the deep and loving bond between people and their pets. For many older adults and people in palliative care, a pet is more than just a companion, they are family, a source of comfort, and a reason to smile every day.
But sometimes, health challenges, mobility issues, or other life circumstances can make pet care difficult. That’s where POOPS WA steps in.
Our dedicated volunteers provide dog walking and transport to groomers/boarding, ensuring that those who need extra support can continue to enjoy the love and companionship of their pets, stress-free.

Our mission is to ensure that no one has to choose between their own well-being and the well-being of their pet. We believe that with a little support, people and pets can stay together, living happier and healthier lives.

We know that every pet, and every owner, has different needs. Our volunteers provide a range of support services tailored to each client’s situation:

We help pets get where they need to go, whether it’s a vet appointment, a grooming session, or a boarding facility.
After walk support, such as helping you give medication or feed your pet.
