FAQs

about Pets Together

Are virtual pet visits free?

Yes! Pets Together is a non-profit organization. Your virtual pet visits are provided free of charge.

If you would like to donate, you can do so here. We are entirely donation-funded – any amount goes to help us provide this service for those in need.

How does Zoom work?

Zoom is a video chat software that lets you talk to anyone anywhere. If you are unfamiliar with how it works, Zoom has a great explanation and video on their website.

Are your pets therapy animals?

Yes and no! We believe in the power of people helping people and, of course, we believe in the power of pets to bring joy to others. Because our visits are virtual, there are no liability issues and no need for certifications. That said, we have a lot of wonderful therapy teams volunteering with us. We welcome everyone to participate!

What kind of animals will be on the calls?

It depends! You might see dogs, goats, cats, chickens, birds and who knows what else…that’s part of the fun of the program. If your residents are interested in a particular type of animal, please feel free to ask.
