One of the most important jobs for Wags and Whiskers. Open your home to a pet in need that is in search of a great temporary home while their family is addressing their medical needs. As a Pet Caregiver you will know..
1. The dates of service, so you can plan your personal life around the temporary care of an amazing pet in need.
2. Costs are absorbed by pet’s family including medical and food.
3. Unlike foster programs you will know everything about the pet. Name, likes and dislikes, schedule for eating, sleeping, playing, favorite toys, food, cookies, bathroom brakes and more.
4. Receive continued support from the Wags & Whiskers Pet Caregiver leadership team.
5. Experience the amazing reunion between the pet and their family when they are reunited after recovery.
