What is a Dog Passport?
A Dog Passport is your dog's profile and travel record on Pawsada — the stays they've taken, the friends they've made, the badges they've earned, and the notes that help every host succeed.
In short
More than a profile
Most pet platforms have a static profile. A Dog Passport is a living record. Every sleepover adds a stamp; every new friendship is remembered; every milestone earns a badge. Over time it becomes a real picture of who your dog is and how they travel.
What’s on a Passport
- Travel log — the stays your dog has taken, as a timeline.
- Fur-riends & Best Buddies — the dogs they’ve met and come back to.
- Favorite hosts — the people your dog loves staying with.
- Badges — collectible milestones (first sleepover, repeat visitor, social butterfly, and more).
- Personality — traits and play style that drive compatibility matching.
- Things to know about me — warm, host-helpful notes (loves, comfortable with, needs a little help with, house rules).
Why it builds trust
A host deciding whether your dog is a good fit can see a real track record: verified status, successful stays, repeat fur-riends, and honest signals from past visits. That transparency is what makes a stranger comfortable becoming a friend — and what makes repeat friendships possible.
Building your dog’s Passport
It takes under a minute to start: add your dog’s photo, breed, age, and a few personality traits. From there it grows on its own — each stay, friendship, and badge writes the next chapter. The earliest Passports even earn a scarce Founding Pup badge.
