PawPoints™
You host mine, I host yours.
Care is traded between trusted members, not bought. Host a dog, and a member you trust hosts your dog back. PawPoints™ are simply the fair, non-cash way to keep that exchange even.
How it works
Care given, care returned
Host a dog, earn PawPoints™, and put them toward your dog's next stay. That's the whole idea — the numbers below are just for reference.
Borrow your first stay
New members can borrow up to two nights' worth of PawPoints for a first short stay — then host one back.
Host a dog
Welcome a dog into your home — overnight, for the day, or just a few hours. Your care is credited toward your dog's next stay.
Trade for your dog's stay
When your dog stays with another trusted host, your PawPoints cover it. Longer or more involved care counts for more.
Give and receive
Host as much as you stay and your balance stays healthy — that's what keeps care fair across the network.
The care you give comes back around.
PawPoints earned
Enough for your dog's next stay
That's really all you need to start
Host a dog you trust and your care is credited toward your dog's next stay. No fees per night, no cash changing hands — just members looking after each other's dogs.
No nightly fees. No gig economy. Just trusted care between friends.
- Earned by hosting
- No cash value
- Fair either way

Frequently asked questions
- Can I buy PawPoints?
- PawPoints are designed to be earned by hosting, not bought — that's what keeps the network reciprocal and trusted. Hosting a dog is the main way to build a balance.
- Are PawPoints the same as money?
- No. PawPoints are a non-cash currency that recognizes the care members give each other. They have no cash value and aren't a payment for services.
- What happens if someone cancels?
- Cancellations after a request is accepted carry a PawPoints penalty that scales with how close to the stay it happens, and those PawPoints go to the impacted member where appropriate.
