A volunteering opportunity for you and your dog
Volunteer with us
CareDogs relies on people like you (and dogs like yours) to deliver our mission. If you have a few hours to spare a week as a befriending volunteer, why don’t you consider walking your dog alongside an older person?
As a volunteer, you will:
Receive safeguarding training and a DBS certificate
Join our network and get invites to our community events
Be paired with an older person in your local area
Commit to a regular dog walk together
Make a positive difference
If you don’t have a dog, we’d still love to hear from you — you may be able to help us behind the scenes or within operations.
