Corporate/Organization Dog Walking Position Description

Description - The objective of our corporate Dog Walking Volunteers is to improve the lives of SPCA Tampa Bay canines by providing exercise and socialization.

Qualifications - Must be at least 18 years old.

  • Able to stand for extended periods of time, bend, and kneel as needed.
  • Able to handle high energy medium and large sized dogs.
  • Able to work outside in the elements.
  • Familiar with canine body languag.
  • Able to work with limited supervision.

Responsibilities - Socialize, exercise, and interact with canines.

How many - We can currently accommodate groups of 5 participants.

How long - We find that a 2-hour shift tends to be a great length in the Florida heat.

More information:

The group arrives and we will have a 15 to 20-minute orientation session. We will discuss the some of the basic rules all dog walkers should follow, as well as go over our designated walking route. For our "regular" volunteers our orientation process involves reading our whiteboards, knowing some medical terminology, and kennel procedures. For our groups most of the need for this type of training will be eliminated...all your team has to do is show them love and take them for their walk!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with SPCA Tampa Bay!
