Airvet and Cariloop come together to support employees balancing work, family, and caregiving.
DALLAS, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Airvet, the leading provider of comprehensive pet care benefits, and Cariloop, an employer-sponsored caregiving benefit that helps employees navigate, find, and manage care, today announced a strategic partnership to help employers address the full spectrum of caregiving responsibilities weighing on their workforce.
Today's workforce is balancing more caregiving needs than ever. Nearly one in four U.S. adults is now part of the "sandwich generation," simultaneously raising children while caring for aging parents. At the same time, pet parenthood has surged, and with it, a new layer of caregiving obligation most benefits strategies never anticipated. 70% of U.S. households now include at least one pet, and more than half of pet parents say pet care costs have delayed or competed with other financial goals. Most of the workforce is now carrying a caregiving load their benefit packages were never designed to support.
Together, Airvet and Cariloop will give families back time and space to be present for life's most meaningful moments. By addressing all caregiving obligations within a family under one shared commitment, Airvet and Cariloop empower employers to support caregiving, in all its forms, as an essential benefit, and not an afterthought.
"HR and benefits leaders have told us the same thing for years: caregiving support is fragmented, hard to measure, and completely disconnected from how employees actually live," Taryn Branca, Chief Commercial Officer at Airvet, said. "Airvet already gives employees that support for their pets. By joining forces with Cariloop, we're extending that same standard of care to every other family member employees are responsible for. That's how you build a benefits strategy that actually moves retention and productivity numbers."
"Caregiving touches nearly every family, but it doesn't show up in one predictable way," said Lisa Leighton, Chief Commercial Officer at Cariloop. "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."
Airvet and Cariloop are committed to helping employers build benefits ecosystems that reduce the burden of caregiving in all its forms, and give employees the peace of mind to show up more fully at work and at home.
