Pawsada is the home for everything important about your dog's life. Every dog gets a free Pawsport™ — one place for their identity, health records, routines, and story — that protects them in an emergency, brings them home if they're ever lost, and makes every vet visit, sitter handoff, and stay simpler. It also opens the door to dog-friendly places and trusted care nearby.

Is Pawsada dog boarding?

No. Boarding facilities and kennels house dogs in commercial settings for a fee. Pawsada is a network of dog owners who host each other's dogs in their own homes and exchange that care through PawPoints — 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 PawPoints instead of hiring each other, and the experience is built around dog friendships, compatibility, and repeat stays.

Any dog owner. Creating your dog's Pawsport is free and takes a few minutes — that alone gives you their health records, emergency info, and lost-dog recovery. If you also want trusted care between members, you build trust through your profile, meet-and-greets, and reviews, and you always decide who cares for your dog.

The idea

Built for the moments that matter most

A late-night vet visit, a last-minute sitter, a move across the country — everything that keeps your dog safe and cared for stays in one place, ready the second you need it instead of scattered across apps, folders, and memory.

What it does

One place, so nothing gets lost

Records, routines, caregivers, favorite places, travel, and memories all live in one Pawsport™ — ready to share in seconds with a vet, a sitter, or a specialist. No scattered folders, no forgotten emails.

Your vet’s records flow straight in. A move gets faster, a stay gets simpler, and an emergency clinic sees the life-saving details the second they matter. You can keep the medical record and see how it all fits together.

Why it matters

Care between friends, not a kennel

When you need help, your dog can stay with other owners in real homes. Members trade care through PawPoints™ instead of paying nightly fees — matched on personality, met in person before any stay, so repeat visits feel like seeing a friend.

Pawsada is a membership network where owners keep their dog’s life organized and arrange their own stays — not a kennel, daycare, paid sitter marketplace, or social feed. See how PawPoints work, or how Pawsada builds trust.

Our story

Why we built Pawsada.

A simple conviction: dogs do better with people who know them than in a kennel — and dog owners would happily host one another if there were a trusted way to do it.

Built around friendships

The part we care most about is what happens over time: dogs make friends. Pawsada remembers who your dog has played with and stayed with — Best Friends, Sleepover Buddies, favorite hosts — and records it all in their Pawsport. Repeat stays with familiar dogs are calmer and happier. That’s the vision: not “find a sitter,” but my dog already knows this dog.

The mission

To become the most trusted way for dog owners to care for one another’s dogs — and the home that helps people live well with their dogs everywhere, from dog-friendly apartments to the parks and patios that welcome them.
