Are you a people person and a pet person? Looking for an in-person volunteer opportunity that benefits people and animals? This could be for you! Volunteers visit patients on a regular basis, and consistently employ active listening skills. While visiting with the patient the volunteer will also interact with the patient's pet and perform tasks to help ensure pets are able to stay in the home with their owner. Responsibilities may include walks, feeding, brushing, playing, petting, and giving attention to a pet. Due to Pet Support Companion Volunteers patients will be able to keep their pets in their home which will in turn increase their quality of life.
