Description
Puppy sitters are needed to care for guide dog puppies in training in the puppy sitter's home while their raiser is away. No prior experience is necessary to become a puppy sitter; we will help you through the process every step of the way. It is a rewarding, emotional experience, and a commitment for which Guide Dogs for the Blind is extremely grateful. As a puppy sitter, not only will you discover the delight of a four-footed, wet-nosed companion, you will join a community of like-minded people all working toward improving the quality of life for people who are blind or visually impaired.
- *We love when puppy raisers and sitters have pets in their home, as long as those pets are friendly to other dogs!**
- *Student volunteers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to all meetings**
