Trust & safety
You always decide who cares for your dog
Pawsada gives you trust signals, meet-and-greets, gentle first stays, and reputation that grows through real relationships. You always make the final call on who cares for your dog.
Verified badges
Members can earn a Verified badge after Pawsada reviews their account. It’s a trust signal, not a guarantee — you always meet and decide for yourself.
Meet-and-greet first
New matches always start with an introduction. You meet, see how everyone gets along, and decide for yourself.
Gentle first stays
A first stay with a new match is limited to a single night, so trust builds gradually and comfortably.
Trust Score & reviews
Completed stays, reviews, response rate, and reliability build a Trust Score — plus “would host again” and “would stay again” feedback.
Repeat-friend history
The more your dog stays with familiar hosts, the more you can rely on relationships you've already built.
Vet & emergency vault
Keep vaccination, vet, and emergency details on your dog's profile and share them with hosts you connect with.
A meet-and-greet checklist
A starting point — adapt it to what feels right for you.
- Meet in a public place first, like a park or a busy sidewalk.
- Bring your dog so everyone can see how they get along.
- Talk through routines, feeding, medication, and house rules.
- Share emergency and vet contacts before any exchange.
- Trust your judgment — only proceed if you feel comfortable.
What Pawsada does — and doesn’t — do
Pawsada is a membership service that helps dog owners connect and care for each other's dogs. Pawsada does not provide pet care, employ caregivers, supervise exchanges, inspect homes, or guarantee outcomes. Members are solely responsible for evaluating suitability, arranging care, and assuming all risks associated with any interaction or exchange.
We don’t use terms like “trusted sitters,” “vetted caregivers,” or “guaranteed safe care” because that’s not what Pawsada is. We’re a network and a set of tools. You bring the judgment.
If something goes wrong
Trust your instincts — you can decline or end any stay at any time, for any reason. If a member makes you uncomfortable or breaks our community standards, contact us. We review every report and can warn or remove members. In a medical or safety emergency, always contact your vet or local authorities first.
Your data & privacy
You control what appears on your dog’s Pawsport. Medical records in the Vaultare private by default and shared only with people you choose. We don’t sell your personal data. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
You always make the final call.
Free, takes a few minutes, and yours to keep.
