Puppy Sitting
What is a Puppy Sitter?
Puppy sitters provide much-needed support to our puppy raisers. They take care of our pups for a few hours up to a few days when raisers are unable to take the pups somewhere or when the pups need a change of routine.
Puppy sitters can take the pup to classes and on outings with permission of the raiser, and have access to all CSU buildings except for labs and any CSU housing.
To begin the process of becoming a sitter, fill out the Involvement Interest Form, and take a look at our sitter manual (below!)
