Become a Trusted Host
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.

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 a Trusted Host through real hosting and good standing, and wear it: a Trusted 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.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I become a host?
- Join free and choose to host — you become a Host Candidate right away, with a dashboard showing your path to Trusted Host. From there, hosting dogs you trust earns the status.
- How do I become a Trusted Host?
- Trusted Host is earned, never bought: complete 3 stays, keep a 4.5+ review score, and verify your identity. Then your membership is complimentary, with our thanks.
- Is hosting paid?
- Care is traded between trusted members, not paid per night. Trusted Hosts earn complimentary membership (a waived fee) and recognition — Pawsada keeps it a community, not a gig.
- Do I need a dog to host?
- No. Dog-loving hosts without a current dog are welcome and valued — you can host other members' dogs and earn Trusted Host status just the same.
