Monty is a Jack Russel and lives in South Strathfield with his elderly owner. Monty enjoys walks in his local area but doesn’t get out much these days and would love to have a friend who can get out and about once a week.

Volunteers typically love animals who, are or have been pet owners and find joy in sending time with dogs.

Assisting with dog walking ensures the health and well being of dogs who may not have owners who are physically able to or who can’t walk far from home and give the exercise time the dog needs.

Dogs need to be walked on a regular basis and we require volunteers who can commit to a regular routine, commit as much time as they can comfortably manage. Visits will be arranged so they are mutually convenient times.

Dog walking volunteers are in solo charge of dogs only and will not be walking with clients. If you would like to be involved with client social visiting please see our social support positions. The suitable volunteer will have the following attributes: have good communication and listening skills, be reliable, pass a national police check and be able to commit to at least 6 months.

Training and an Induction will be provided. Inner West Neighbour Aid is mindful and trained to support clients and volunteers with social distancing, health and safety procedures.
