For hosts
Open your home to a dog you trust.
Hosts are the heart of Pawsada — the reason a dog can stay with someone their owner trusts. Host dogs you trust, and become one of the most valued members of the community.

Why host
More than a favor — it’s how the whole thing works.
You make the community possible
Pawsada exists because dog people host one another. Hosts aren't inventory — they're the most valued members of the network.
Recognition that's earned, not bought
Become an Established Host through real hosting and good standing, and wear it: an Established Host badge and priority placement when owners search.
Your dog gets friends too
Hosting brings a well-matched houseguest — company, play, and a buddy. Many dogs love it as much as their owners do.
Hosting is the reciprocal loop that makes it work: welcome a dog you trust, earn PawPoints, and spend them on a trusted stay for your own dog. Every guest arrives with their full Pawsport, so you know them before they’re through your door.
A houseguest who feels like family.

Frequently asked questions

- Join free and choose to host — you become a Host Candidate right away, with a clear view of your path to Established Host. From there, hosting dogs you trust earns the status.
- How do I become an Established Host?
- Established Host is earned, never bought: complete 3 stays, keep a 4.5+ review score, and earn your Verified badge. Then your membership is complimentary, with our thanks.
- Is hosting paid?
- Care is traded between trusted members, not paid per night. Established Hosts earn complimentary membership (a waived fee) and recognition — Pawsada keeps it a community, not a gig.
