Airvet and Cariloop Partner to Support Comprehensive Caregiving Needs

Airvet and Cariloop have joined forces to address the growing burden of caregiving on employees, aiming to boost productivity and employee retention. The partnership comes at a time when the U.S. workforce is increasingly juggling multiple caregiving responsibilities, including caring for aging parents, raising children, and managing pet care.

According to Airvet, nearly one in four U.S. adults is part of the "sandwich generation," simultaneously caring for children and aging parents. Meanwhile, the surge in pet ownership, 70% of U.S. households now include at least one pet, has added another layer of caregiving that traditional benefits packages were not designed to handle. More than half of pet parents say pet care costs have delayed or competed with other financial goals, highlighting the need for comprehensive support.

"Airvet already provides support for pets. By partnering with Cariloop, we're extending that same standard of care to every other family member employees are responsible for. This is how you build a benefits strategy that actually moves retention and productivity numbers."

Cariloop's Lisa Leighton, Chief Commercial Officer, added, "Caregiving touches nearly every family, but it doesn't show up in one predictable way. Across today's multigenerational workforce, employees may be raising children, helping an aging loved one, supporting a partner, and caring for a pet, often with several of those responsibilities overlapping. This partnership helps lift more of the mental and logistical load behind caregiving, giving employees more time and capacity to be present and productive at work and at home."

The partnership aims to provide a comprehensive solution that addresses all caregiving obligations within a family under one shared commitment. Airvet and Cariloop will offer a range of services, including professional coaching, help finding care, trusted guidance, practical tools, and flexible backup care options. These services are designed to help employees manage their caregiving responsibilities more effectively, reducing the burden and allowing them to focus on their work and personal lives.

Airvet, the leading provider of comprehensive care for all pet families, has already demonstrated a significant impact on workforce productivity. Through its care platform, pet families have access to tools and 24/7 on-demand virtual veterinary care with licensed providers. This has saved workforces time and money on avoidable pet care costs, reduced absenteeism, and increased productivity.

Cariloop partners with organizations to support people navigating caregiving. Its Caregiver Support Platform® combines professional coaching, help finding care, trusted guidance, practical tools, and flexible backup care options. This platform helps members make decisions, manage ongoing responsibilities, and get support when unexpected care needs arise.

Together, Airvet and Cariloop are committed to helping employers build benefits ecosystems that reduce the burden of caregiving in all its forms. By addressing the full spectrum of caregiving responsibilities, the partnership aims to give employees the peace of mind to show up more fully at work and at home. This holistic approach is expected to improve employee well-being and, consequently, boost productivity and retention.

Airvet and Cariloop's partnership is part of a broader trend in the benefits industry, where companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of addressing the diverse needs of their employees. By providing comprehensive support for all aspects of caregiving, Airvet and Cariloop are setting a new standard for employer benefits, one that is designed to meet the complex realities of modern family life.
