Pawty is a members-only dog-sitting swap community. To start your 30-day free trial, you need to apply for membership,(https://2l1mychwun2.typeform.com/pawrentsapply) which includes a background check and LinkedIn verification. Once approved, you will join a cohort and be matched with a group of 5-8 compatible local dog parents. Together, you’ll participate in a series of events to help build genuine connections and lasting friendships – for both you and your dog. Your membership includes one year of access to our digital community and unlimited future events. [View more here](https://www.thepawrents.com/membership)

Your pup’s safety is our top priority. We implement trust and safety in four main ways: 1. Background checks and LinkedIn verification for all new members. 2. In-person events: Every new member must join a cohort. Cohort members leave reviews for each other, and we maintain a strict one-strike-and-you're-out policy. 3. Profile transparency: You’ll be able to view other members’ profiles, social media information, and reviews on our platform.(https://pawrents.dog/) Meet-and-greet: We suggest a meet-and-greet before each swap to ensure you and your dog are comfortable with each other.

Please submit your application here.(https://2l1mychwun2.typeform.com/pawrentsapply?utm_source=website%20&utm_campaign=faq) Pawrents reserves the right to reject any membership applications to maintain a secure and trusted environment for our members. Once approved, you will join the upcoming cohort.

Boarding costs credits, while hosting earns them—1 day equals 1 credit. You can swap care with the same dog parent or host one dog to earn credits and request boarding from another. Premium Membership starts with 5 credits and allows a one-time negative credit balance. Standard Membership starts with 2 credits.

We’re currently offering a special membership rate of $99 or $79 for the first year with 30-day free trial. For full details on membership pricing and tiers, you can [view more here].(https://www.thepawrents.com/membership)

You’ll be matched with 5-8 local dog parents in your cohort, based on your profile. If you’re unsatisfied with your group, you can join a future cohort. In rare cases where we are unable to match you with a cohort, you’re eligible for a refund. We have built a thriving community, and match rates have been pretty amazing.

Upon purchasing your membership, you'll receive a starting balance of 2 or 5 credits. Hosting earns credits, while boarding costs credits. Premium members can go negative once per year. While our main focus is on dog-sitting swaps, we understand that unforeseen situations may arise, and you may need urgent credits. Additional credits can be purchased at $30 per credit.

There’s no limit, as long as you have enough credits! Some members have arranged care for trips over two weeks. For extended stays, you may need to split the days between different hosts.

There are a few ways to ensure compatibility: • Each member creates a detailed profile on Pawrents.dog, where you can learn about the dog's behavior, care instructions, and read reviews from others. • You'll get to know other members through a series of events with your cohort. • We highly recommend a meet-and-greet before each swap to confirm compatibility. Afterward, you can choose to accept or decline the help offer based on the interaction.

Unfortunately not. At the heart, our community is all about dog parents helping each other.

You’ll need a membership for each dog, but don’t worry—any additional memberships after the first are 50% off!
