Friends aren't always freeImagine givingreceivinggivingreceiving pet care in your building, on your street, or just a few blocks away, without turning it into a full-day commitment.

Feeding, changing water, cleaning litter. Quick daily stops from someone nearby.

Built through transparency, communication, and getting to know the people who care for your pet.

Good questions, straight answers
Yes, joining the waitlist is completely free. Full product details, including pricing, will be shared with members on the list before launch.
That's fine. Pet It Forward isn't a strict one-for-one ledger. Give what you can, when you can: a drop-in, a walk, or hosting later in the year. Many members give care first and receive it months later, or the other way around.
We open neighbourhoods as enough pet parents nearby join. Your postal code tells us where you are, and we'll email you the moment your area starts forming.
While dogs and cats will likely make up most of the community, Pet It Forward welcomes all kinds of pets.
Whether you have a rabbit, hamster, bird, fish, reptile, or another companion animal, you can create a profile and connect with nearby members who are comfortable caring for that type of pet.
Of course, some pets are easier for community members to help with than others. Feeding a hamster or refreshing a fish tank may be something many members are happy to do, while caring for a snake or other more specialized animals may require someone with the right experience and confidence.
Every visit is backed by emergency insurance, and your pet's profile carries their vet details and emergency contacts, so a caregiver always knows what to do. Photo updates keep you in the loop while you're away, and our team is there to help if anything needs escalating.
No. Other members only ever see your neighbourhood, never your address. You share exact details only with the neighbour you choose, after a meet & greet, through the app.
Not yet. Opening the community to pet lovers without a pet of their own is on our roadmap, but at launch Pet It Forward is built around care exchanged between pet parents. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know the moment that changes.
We're building Pet It Forward one neighbourhood at a time. Join the waitlist to be part of this community from day one.
