Dog Sitter Volunteer

• BRAVEHOUND

• VO103651

Bravehound aims to help heal the invisible wounds of military veterans with their specially trained assistance dogs. They provide assistance dogs to veterans who have a clinical diagnosis of a mental health condition such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and anxiety.
As a Bravehound Dog Sitter you will provide care for a Bravehound Dog on a short-term basis, whilst the veteran or regular volunteer Bravehound Buddy is away and cannot have the Bravehound with them.
Bravehound will carry out a home visit to ensure that your environment is suitable for this role. You will be given all the equipment and food required for their stay with you, as well as a complete handover about the dog.
The Bravehound Dog Sitter Volunteer is a very ad- hoc role, but a valued role as they need to have people they can turn to especially in an emergency.

Experience required

Volunteers should be comfortable around animals and able to provide a good level of care. A home visit will be required to ensure your home is a safe environment for the dog.

Travel details

This opportunity is undertaken from home.

Travel expenses

Reasonable expenses are reimbursed. All equipment and food needed for the dog will be provided at handover.
