Testimonials

 FAQs

    • Every member creates a detailed profile on pawshare club, where you can read about each dog's behavior, size, care needs, and personality.

    • Highly recommend setting up multiple coffee or brunch meetups, or even going on walks together. This way, you can get to know the other pawrents (& dog lovers) and their dog’s personality before committing to long term pet sittings

    • If someone behaves inappropriately, users can easily report them by clicking the report button, which could result in their removal from the platform.

    • We are also currently trying to implement ID, email, and phone verification, along with a short pet care safety course and quiz to help build trust and ensure the safety of our members.

  • Test their compatibility with a playdate is a must.

    Tips for walking multiple dogs:

    • Use strong, tangle-free leashes or halti

    • Choose quiet routes and keep walks calm.

    Tips for pet sitting multiple dogs:

    • Monitor play and separate if dogs get too excited. Regular breaks teach them to settle down often.

    • Set clear boundaries and supervise closely.

  • Absolutely! You can borrow a dog for walks or playdates, and if you're working toward a dog training certificate, it’s a fantastic way to gain hands-on experience with different dogs. Plus, you might connect with other dog lovers who don’t have a dog yet but are interested in sharing pet duties, even before getting one of your own!

  • No, for everyone's safety, dogs with serious behavior issues should not join the community until their behavior is improved. There are many facebook groups, professional trainers that you can still post questions and seek advice from others on how to help your dog.

  • Pawshare Club is built to support dog lovers like you—helping each other reduce the financial and emotional stress of pet care. While the spirit of the platform is community-driven, there are real costs involved in keeping it running securely and smoothly, including technology, support, and outreach.

    Your contribution helps cover these costs and ensures we can keep improving the platform to better serve our members. We aim to keep our fees as low as possible—significantly more affordable than traditional pet-sitting services—so more people can access reliable, trustworthy support.

    By subscribing, you’re not just accessing a service—you’re helping build a caring, sustainable community for pet lovers.
