Want Our Pets To Visit You?

Our fully trained pet and people visitors go to health day care centres, residential facilities, hospitals, aged care hostels, retirement homes and we visit individuals at home.

It is our policy to match a pets as therapy visitor and pet, with the challenges and requirements of the residents or individual as much as possible.

Our visits last one hour. After an hour, the pets usually start to feel a little tired, after all those cuddles, kisses and play. If you require on-going visits, you will be assigned the same person and pet visitors each visit, where possible.

We currently have dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and pet rats. All pets are fully assessed by a veterinarian for healthiness, temperament, personality, gentleness, friendliness and if a dog, obedience specific to pets as therapy for safe interaction. People and pet visitors receive ongoing training and assessments.

For a one-time visit our fee is $60.50. Discounts are available when paying for 5 visits in advance. We are a self-funding program and this fee contributes towards our operational costs. We fund raise and seek grants and sponsorships to fill the shortfall.

We offer the most professinal pets as therapy program in Australia and our people and pet visitors are the most specifically trained. We maintain a high standard of service with strict health and safety procedures that ensure our visits are safe, highly beneficial, rewarding and fun!
