Hands-on Care Needed For My Father In Houston.

I'm looking for hands-on care for my father in his 80s. Seeking someone to handle meal preparation. Duties include providing companionship and social interaction. Preferences for a caregiver who is comfortable with pets. My father lives alone and has been independent for many years. His health is diminishing and needs more support. Family out of town during this time / looking for supplement help for these dates and potentially more will be needed.
