Therapy dogs bring comfort, joy, and therapeutic benefits to patients, residents, and students across healthcare facilities, senior care centers, schools, and rehabilitation facilities. Coordinating these visits requires careful planning, clear communication about patient populations, and proper documentation to ensure safe, positive experiences for everyone involved.

This Therapy Dog Visit Booking Form streamlines the entire scheduling process, allowing facility coordinators to request visits, specify patient demographics and needs, outline handler requirements, and complete necessary liability waivers—all in one professional, easy-to-use form.

Why Paperform is perfect for therapy dog visit bookings

Managing therapy dog visits involves multiple stakeholders: facility administrators, activity directors, therapy dog handlers, and certification organizations. Paperform brings all these elements together in a single platform that's both powerful and simple to use.

With built-in scheduling fields, you can let facilities select their preferred visit dates and times while automatically checking handler availability. The form's conditional logic adjusts questions based on facility type and patient population, ensuring you collect exactly the right information for pediatric wards, memory care units, rehabilitation centers, or educational settings.

The integrated eSignature capability through Papersign (papersign.com) means liability waivers and service agreements can be signed digitally, creating a complete audit trail without printing, scanning, or chasing down paperwork. This is particularly valuable for maintaining insurance compliance and protecting both your organization and the facilities you serve.

Automate your therapy dog visit workflow

Once a facility submits a booking request, Stepper (stepper.io) can automate your entire coordination workflow. Route requests to available handlers based on location and specialty (pediatric, geriatric, special needs), send automatic confirmation emails with pre-visit guidelines, create calendar events for handlers, and trigger reminder notifications 24 hours before scheduled visits.

You can also set up post-visit workflows that automatically send feedback forms to facilities, log visit hours for certification tracking, and update your CRM with service history—all without manual data entry.

Designed for animal-assisted therapy organizations

Whether you're running a nonprofit therapy dog organization, managing a healthcare facility's volunteer program, or operating a professional animal-assisted therapy practice, this form template adapts to your needs. The friendly, accessible design puts facility coordinators at ease while the professional structure ensures you gather all critical information about patient safety, handler qualifications, and facility requirements.

With Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance and secure data handling, you can confidently collect sensitive information about patient populations and facility protocols while meeting healthcare industry standards.
