We support you and your furry (or feathered!) companions with hands-on help, allowing you to enjoy each other’s company for as long and carefree as possible.

We take the time to understand you and your beloved pets, fostering a safe and nurturing environment for everyone involved.

Every detail you share with us is invaluable, as it helps us match you with the best volunteer who can provide the hands-on support your companion truly deserves.

Whether you need help walking your dog, someone to change the litter trays, or a friendly person to take your pet to the vet,
we’re here to lend a hand.

As each request for help reaches us, we rely on the generosity of volunteers in your community to provide vital support.

Their kindness, willingness to help, and steadfast dedication empower us to assist countless pets and owners across the UK.

We build friendships with pet owners seeking help and extend this trust by connecting them with volunteers who assist with daily pet care when it becomes difficult.

Together we make sure that these little heroes who mean so much remain happy and healthy.

Faqs

Owner Support

  • What types of animals do you offer support with?

    We will do our best to support any animal that you class as your companion pet. With the help of our network of animal loving volunteers, whatever challenge is effecting an owner’s ability to look after their pet, we will aim to overcome it. We have supported hamsters, budgies, horses, alpacas and many more. Not just dogs and cats!

  • Can I walk with a volunteer?

    No, our support is intended for those unable to walk their dogs themselves. Owners are not covered by our insurance during volunteer walks.

  • How often can The Cinnamon Trust walk my dog?

    We strive to provide 3 or 4 quality exercise walks a week where possible, depending on volunteer availability.

  • Can you walk my dog?

    We offer dog walking to registered owners who are unable to provide exercise for their dogs on a temporary or long-term basis.

Amber’s Story

I signed up for The Cinnamon Trust's service to care for my animals if the worst happened, and I can now be sure my precious little babies will always be safe and loved.

It was so quick and easy too! I spoke to the delightful Debbie, who took information about all my furry and feathered family to make profiles for them

The Circle of Giving

The Circle of Giving embodies our philosophy: we do not charge for our help, relying instead on the generosity of others.

This involves the kindness, time, commitment, and financial support of volunteers and supporters who keep our mission alive. Our work, though at no cost for those we help, is made possible by the heartfelt gifts of many.
