How it works

Clarity before commitment.

You do not need to decide everything at once. Talk, meet, and try a short visit before making regular plans.

01

Tell us what would work for you

Start with your routine and the kind of companionship you hope for. If you have a pet, tell us about them too.

Usually 5-8 minutes
02

Find people and pets who may suit you

Shared.pet compares practical fit: distance, schedules, household needs, care style, and relationship expectations. Known safety conflicts help us rule out unsuitable matches.

Clear reasons, not endless swiping
03

Talk, meet, and try it gently

Start with a conversation. If it feels promising, meet somewhere public and plan a short trial with clear care instructions and separate feedback.

You stay in control at every step
04

Build a shared rhythm together

When both people agree, create a recurring plan, private shared space, schedule, pet rules, emergency details, and a versioned agreement.

Nothing recurs without both approvals

Ready to see who might fit?

Creating a profile is free. Your exact location and private care notes stay out of discovery, and you can update your answers later.

There is no single right arrangement

Small support can become something meaningful.

The weekday companion

A working owner meets a retired neighbour who misses regular dog walks.

The adventure friend

An active dog gains a familiar hiking partner for weekends on the trails.

The trusted second home

After careful meetings and trials, a pet becomes comfortable in two loving homes.

Good care starts with clear expectations

Designed to help people make careful decisions.

Software cannot promise that every person or relationship is safe. It can make expectations visible, prevent known conflicts, and give members strong tools when something feels wrong.

01

Must-have safety needs come first

Pet safety and household dealbreakers take priority over an attractive overall score.

02

Meet before you share

Public first meetings and short trials create space to observe comfort and communication.

03

Private by default

Exact location, postal code, medical details, and emergency contacts stay out of discovery.

04

Help when needed

Blocking, reporting, moderation, and audited admin actions are built into the platform.

Questions are healthy

What people usually want to know.

Is this pet sitting?

No. Nobody bids for jobs or charges an hourly rate. Pet sharing is for people who want an ongoing bond and owners who want another trusted person in their pet's life.

Do I have to commit to a 50/50 arrangement?

Not at all. A relationship might mean a regular Tuesday walk, occasional weekends, travel support, or a true second home. You choose what fits.

How do you help keep pets safe?

Dealbreakers override match scores. Members talk first, meet in public, use a short trial, submit feedback separately, and can report or block at any time.

What if there are not many members near me yet?

You can choose a wider search area and keep your profile ready. Shared.pet shows honest local availability rather than filling the screen with poor fits.

Does it cost anything to join?

Joining, browsing and expressing interest are free. Messaging and meeting arrangements require memberships for both people or a Circle Companion Pass. There are no sitter fees or payments for care.

More love. Less all-or-nothing.

Make room for the right pet-sharing relationship.

Start with your real schedule and boundaries. Shared.pet will help you take it from there.
