Join for free, add your pet, meet nearby owners through Paw Dates, then use Kibble Points when you need neighbourly care.
Create a free profile, introduce your pet, and start with 20 Kibble Points for future community care. No card required.
Browse local members, see their pets, and message people who feel like a good fit.
Meet in public places, let pets settle naturally, and build familiarity before anyone asks for care.
Once trust is built, members can use Kibble Points for walks, visits, day care, or stays. It starts socially, then grows into support.
Paw Dates help pets and owners get familiar first. When life gets busy, trusted neighbours can help with practical care.
Your pet stays overnight with a fellow owner they have had time to get familiar with.
A fellow owner comes to your home, so your pet stays in familiar surroundings.
Daytime company, supervision, and play while you're at work or running errands.
Quick friendly check-ins for feeding, medication, and some attention at home.
Walks with local pet people, from routine exercise to social outdoor time.
Organise or join a local play date for your pet. Browse upcoming meetups near you, RSVP in one click, and let pets make friends naturally.
See all upcoming paw dates on a map. Only the area name is shown publicly. The exact spot is shared after you RSVP.
When a paw date is posted in your city, nearby members get notified so no one misses out.
After the meetup, if at least 2 attendees confirm it happened, everyone gets 2 Kibble Points. No care request required.

for attending
We're built for local pet friendships first. Care works better when pets and people have already met.
Every account is email-verified. We also encourage members to chat, join Paw Dates, and meet in person before any care request. You decide if it's a good fit.
Read what other owners say about a fellow before you commit to anything.
Chat with potential fellows before meeting or requesting care to make sure they're the right fit for your pet.
Our pets meet at the park. We chat, learn each other's routines, and build trust over time. Later, if one of us needs help, it already feels like asking a neighbour, not hiring a stranger.
Free to get started
20 Kibble Points on signup, no card needed. Earn more by helping others or attending Paw Dates.
Founding members wanted
We just launched. Early members get first pick of local fellows and help shape how the community grows.
Kibble Points keep things balanced. The more you sit for others, the more care you can book. No money ever changes hands.
Help another member with care and earn Kibble Points automatically when the care arrangement completes. Every completed favour fills your balance.
Request help from a fellow and spend Kibble Points when they accept. Overnight stays, day care, drop-ins, walks. All in Kibble Points, never cash.
The more you look after others' pets, the more Kibble Points you earn. Sit for a neighbour, get care in return.

Kibble Points are the community's way of keeping things fair. The more you give, the more you get.
Important: Fellows are not background-checked, DBS-checked, or professionally vetted. Email verification only. You are solely responsible for assessing any fellow before requesting care. Always message, read reviews, and meet in person first. PawFellowship is not responsible for harm to your pet arising from a care arrangement. Read our safety guidance.

Most members start on one side, then discover the other is just as rewarding. Whatever direction care flows this week, you're part of the same exchange.
Find fellow pet owners near you. Read their reviews, message them, and arrange care knowing they understand what it means because they have pets too.
Find Pet PeopleLook after a local pet owner's animal and build Kibble Points credit for when you need someone back. No job, no invoice. Just neighbours helping neighbours.
