When people need boarding

Boarding requests by trip month in this area over the last 3 years (busiest month = 100). December is the peak, so ask neighbors early for holiday trips.

How a dog boarding swap works

  1. Step 1

    Join and add your dog

    Create a profile for you and your dog so neighbors know who they'd be hosting.

  2. Step 2

    Meet neighbors first

    Start with a walk or a playdate. Dogs who already know each other settle in faster.

  3. Step 3

    Swap stays

    When you travel, a neighbor hosts your dog in their home. When they travel, you return the favor.

Trust and safety

  • Meet before any stay

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

  • Talk in the app

    Message in WoofyClub to plan a stay, so you don't have to share your number until you're ready.

  • Reviews after stays

    Members review each other after a stay, so you can see how past swaps went.

  • Report or block

    If something feels off, you can report or block a member at any time.
