Why isn't Pawsada free?

Because trust matters more than raw signups. A small membership and one-time verification keep the network made up of committed, verified dog people — which is what makes stays feel safe and personal.

What does verification involve?

A one-time $19–29 step covering identity, contact, and vaccination verification, plus an emergency contact. No one can host or request a stay without it.

Annual is $99/year — the best value, less than a weekend of traditional boarding for a whole year. Monthly is $12.99/month if you'd rather start small.

Is there a founding member option?

Yes — early members can join the Founding Member program for special pricing and a Founding Member badge while we seed the network.
