Active Retiree Program

This program is for retirees to work part-time with our company.  Studies have shown that animal companionship, staying active, and working outside your home can all improve both physical health and mental well-being.  That is what we strive to provide to our local retirees with our Active Retiree Program.

This program can help our retirees in many ways, such as:

  1. Reducing stress and anxiety

  2. Improving cardiovascular health

  3. Lowering depression

  4. Providing a sense of accomplishment

  5. Making life more fun!

The Backstory:

Our Active Retiree Program (ARP) was an unintentional addition to our family business! Tallahassee Lassie’s owner, Carla, saw how her retired stepfather gained a lot with the care of his own dogs. Walking and caring for them greatly improved his health. In general, pet companionship can reduce stress, improve cardiovascular health, and serve as a protective factor against anxiety and depression. So Carla had one of her big ideas! 

Ideal Candidates 

This program is perfect for any active retiree with transportation, experience with pets, and anyone looking to enrich their retirement life. ARP Team Members may work as little or as much as they desire. As with all folks on our team, ARP Team Members can select the type/size/location of their clients and set their schedules as needed.
