Job Description

Spread Joy, by joining our Volunteer Team

3. Nails should be short and blunt. Freshly cut nails can be sharp if not filed down.
4. Dogs should be kept on a lead always.

This role will suit you if you have a small-medium sized pet and you're happy to just to sit and not necessarily talk all the time.

Your impact
