Foster Carers

Apply to become a carer

You can have the pleasure of caring for a pet without a lifelong commitment
There is little or no cost as Raystede provides all equipment, food and vet care
It can give any existing pets you may have a temporary playmate.
You will be helping pets and families

You need to:

be a minimum of 18 years of age
be experienced in caring for animals
be patient and committed and have a love of animals
not leave a dog for more than four hours. We are also unable to accept applications from people working as pet sitters/dog walkers/dog breeders or childminders.
be able to commit to a foster scheme for an agreed length of time and in the case of PetLink, a minimum of six months
be able to transport a pet to the vets in an emergency – by private car or taxi
be able to contact our Project Manager immediately if there are any problems regarding the pet’s health or if there is any change in your personal circumstances.
give us four weeks notice of any holiday, so we can arrange alternative care for your foster pet
