Testimonials
“As a busy single parent, I hated leaving my Golden Retriever alone all day while I worked, but I couldn’t afford expensive sitters. Through Pawshare Club, I connected with two neighbours who had lost their own dog. They’re now his loving ‘godpawrents,’ walking him a few times each week. It’s been a lifesaver for me and pure joy for my dog”
From Dave, Pawshare Club Member

Absolutely! You can borrow a dog for walks or playdates, and if you're working toward a dog training certificate, it’s a fantastic way to gain hands-on experience with different dogs. Plus, you might connect with other dog lovers who don’t have a dog yet but are interested in sharing pet duties, even before getting one of your own!

No, for everyone's safety, dogs with serious behavior issues should not join the community until their behavior is improved. There are many facebook groups, professional trainers that you can still post questions and seek advice from others on how to help your dog.

Pawshare Club is built to support dog lovers like you—helping each other reduce the financial and emotional stress of pet care. While the spirit of the platform is community-driven, there are real costs involved in keeping it running securely and smoothly, including technology, support, and outreach.
Your contribution helps cover these costs and ensures we can keep improving the platform to better serve our members. We aim to keep our fees as low as possible—significantly more affordable than traditional pet-sitting services—so more people can access reliable, trustworthy support.
By subscribing, you’re not just accessing a service—you’re helping build a caring, sustainable community for pet lovers.
