About Pawsada
What is Pawsada?
Pawsada is a points-based dog hosting networkwhere verified dog owners host one another’s dogs in real homes. Owners earn points by hosting and spend them when their own dog needs a stay, and dogs are matched on personality, environment, and compatibility so friendships and trusted relationships develop over time.
How Pawsada works
A dog owner creates a free account and a Dog Passport, gets verified, and connects with compatible, verified owners nearby. They host another member’s dog to earn points, and spend those points when their own dog needs a stay. Because care is exchanged rather than paid for, the network stays reciprocal — the people who host are the people who get hosted.
What makes Pawsada different
- Real homes, not kennels. Dogs stay with other dog owners in their homes.
- Points, not nightly fees. Care is traded through a points exchange.
- Compatibility matching. Dogs are matched on personality, play style, energy, and routine.
- Dog friendships. Pawsada remembers who a dog has met and stayed with, so repeat stays feel like visiting a friend.
- Dog Passports. Each dog has a Passport recording its stays, friendships, and badges.
- Verified, trusted community. Members are verified, with clear trust signals.
What Pawsada is not
Pawsada is not a kennel, a dog daycare, or a paid sitter marketplace, and it is not a social feed, forum, or user-created group platform. It is a software platform and membership network that helps verified owners connect — members arrange and are responsible for their own stays.
Dog-friendly living
Beyond hosting, Pawsada maintains a dog-friendly apartment directory and guides to dog parks, restaurants, breweries, hotels, and campgrounds — so dog owners can find a great place to live and play, then connect with trusted local hosts.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Pawsada?
- Pawsada is a points-based dog hosting network. Verified dog owners host one another's dogs in real homes, exchanging stays through a points system rather than paying nightly fees. Dogs are matched on personality and compatibility so friendships and trusted relationships develop over time.
- Is Pawsada dog boarding?
- No. Boarding facilities and kennels house dogs in commercial settings for a fee. Pawsada is a network of verified dog owners who host each other's dogs in their own homes and exchange that care through points — so it's an alternative to boarding, not a boarding service.
- How is Pawsada different from Rover or Wag?
- Rover and Wag are paid marketplaces where you hire a sitter. Pawsada is a reciprocal owner-to-owner network: members exchange stays through points instead of hiring each other, and the experience is built around dog friendships, compatibility, and repeat stays.
- Who can use Pawsada?
- Verified dog owners who are willing to both host and be hosted. Membership starts free; verification (identity and vaccinations) is required to host or request stays.
