Volunteer With Us.
Be part of something extraordinary!
Our volunteers are the heart of Carriacou Animal Hospital, and every year, over 50 amazing individuals join us to make a real difference in the lives of the island’s dogs and cats. From veterinarians and vet nurses to logistics managers and foster carers, everyone plays a vital role in our mission.
Not a veterinary professional? No problem! There are many ways you can lend your skills and help support our work.

What We Offer.
A Working Holiday in Paradise
Volunteering with us is a perfect blend of purpose and adventure: 50% work, 50% fun. While our schedule can be unpredictable, we make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy Carriacou’s unspoiled beauty and explore the surrounding islands.
Comfortable Villa Accommodation
Thanks to our generous neighbor, since the hurricane and until the new clinic is built, our volunteers currently stay in a beautiful villa with a pool, offering a peaceful and comfortable space to relax and recharge.
Unforgettable Day Trips
We organize exciting adventures during your stay, including visits to Saline Island’s sea turtles, serene hikes, snorkeling or diving trips, and more!
What We’re Looking For.
Veterinary Professionals
We’re primarily seeking qualified veterinarians, vet nurses, or vet techs experienced in routine medical care and surgeries.
A Two-Week Minimum Commitment
We ask for a minimum stay of two weeks, though many volunteers find that even two weeks isn’t enough to soak it all in!
Team Players
Volunteers must have a strong team spirit. Whether it’s clinic chores, patient care, or educating the community, we expect everyone to pitch in and support the team, regardless of title or qualifications.
Not a vet or vet nurse? No problem! There are plenty of ways you can contribute to Carriacou Animal Hospital. Whether you’re on the island or supporting from afar, there’s a role for everyone.
Other Ways to Help.

Handy Helpers
Are you a gardener, carpenter, painter, tiler, or electrician? Your skills can help us maintain and improve our clinic. Stop by and see how you can lend a hand!

Capture the heart of what we do! If you love animals and photography, help us with beautiful images of our dogs, clinic life, and Carriacou’s stunning scenery. Your photos will shine on our website and social media.
Remote Volunteer Opportunities.
Fundraisers
Help us raise the vital funds we need to care for Carriacou’s animals. Organize events, take on a sponsored challenge, or work with businesses to secure sponsorships. Every effort makes a big impact!
