Why we started this

I started ThePetSwap because every trip brought the same struggle: who will care for our pet? Boarding was pricey, sitters also costly. Then I realized so many pet owners face the same problem. What if we simply helped each other? That’s how ThePetSwap was born — not just an app, but a community built on trust, kindness, and the love we all share for our furry family.

Safety & trust

  • Verified members — every member completes an ID check
  • Healthy pets only — vaccination records must be uploaded before your first swap
    • Dogs: Rabies + DHPP
    • Cats: Rabies + FVRCP
  • Optional insurance — add extra peace of mind to any swap
  • Build connections — meet-and-greets encouraged before sitting
  • Clarity & care — simple checklists for house rules and pet routines
  • Trusted community — ratings, reviews, and accountability after every swap
