Pet Visitor Volunteer
Care Dimensions needs volunteers with dogs that are certified in pet therapy or have passed the AKC Good Citizen Test to visit hospice patients wherever they call home - nursing homes, assisted living facilities, private homes, and our hospice houses in Danvers and in Lincoln. Volunteer visits are flexible, and YOU decide on the hours you can give and where to volunteer within our service area. Requirements include our volunteer training on Zoom and a one-hour orientation for you and your dog. For more information, call 978-750-9349 or visit https://www.CareDimensions.org/PetVisitors.
