Job Description & How to Apply Below
Our Purpose
Driven by compassion and fueled by community, Kathy’s House is designed to help patients access medical care with empathy and support so that no patient or caregiver faces the challenges of medical treatment alone.
Our Values- Provide a home for healing
- Create a community of care
- Act with compassion
At Kathy’s House, guests are often far from home and carrying the emotional weight of a medical journey. The gentle presence of a certified therapy animal can bring moments of peace, joy, and emotional relief when it’s needed most.
We’re seeking certified pet therapy volunteers to visit with their well‑mannered, trained animals and offer companionship to our guests in a calm, supportive environment.
What You’ll Do- Visit with guests in common areas, typically during dinner (5pm-7pm)
- Provide gentle, optional interactions with your therapy animal—no pressure, just presence.
- Follow all pet therapy safety and certification guidelines.
- Coordinate visits with staff to ensure the best experience for both guests and animals.
- A certified therapy dog (or other approved therapy animal) through a recognized organization (e.g., Pet Partners, Therapy Dogs International, etc.).
- A kind, patient approach and sensitivity to guests who may be dealing with stress, grief, or exhaustion.
Your visits will offer more than a wagging tail—they bring warmth, comfort, and the healing power of connection.
