Step 1
Join and add your dog
Create a profile for you and your dog so neighbors know who they'd be hosting.
Step 2
Meet neighbors first
Start with a walk or a playdate. Dogs who already know each other settle in faster.
Step 3
Swap stays
When you travel, a neighbor hosts your dog in their home. When they travel, you return the favor.

Meet before any stay
We recommend at least one meet-up before a stay, and a short practice stay before a long trip.
