How it works
Clarity before commitment.
The process is deliberately staged. Each step gives both people enough information to decide whether the next one feels right.
01
Describe the relationship you want
Tell us about your rhythm, home, experience, boundaries, and how often you would like a pet in your life. Owners also create a rich profile for their pet.
Usually 5-8 minutes02
Explore compatible possibilities
Shared.pet compares practical fit: distance, schedules, household needs, care style, and relationship expectations. Hard safety conflicts are filtered out.
Clear reasons, not endless swiping03
Talk, meet, and try it gently
Start with a conversation. If it feels promising, meet somewhere public and plan a short trial with clear care instructions and separate feedback.
You stay in control at every step04
Build a shared rhythm together
When both people agree, create a recurring plan, private shared space, schedule, pet rules, emergency details, and a versioned agreement.
Nothing recurs without both approvalsReady to see who might fit?
Your profile is free, private by design, and editable whenever life changes.
Built around real life in communities like NanaimoThere is no single right arrangement
Small support can become something meaningful.
The weekday companion
A working owner meets a retired neighbour who misses regular dog walks.
The adventure friend
An active dog gains a familiar hiking partner for weekends on the trails.
The trusted second home
After careful meetings and trials, a pet becomes comfortable in two loving homes.
Trust is a product feature
Designed to help people make careful decisions.
Software cannot promise that every person or relationship is safe. It can make expectations visible, prevent known conflicts, and give members strong tools when something feels wrong.
Build my compatibility profile →Hard conflicts stop the match
Pet safety and household dealbreakers take priority over an attractive overall score.
Meet before you share
Public first meetings and short trials create space to observe comfort and communication.
Private by default
Exact location, postal code, medical details, and emergency contacts stay out of discovery.
Help when needed
Blocking, reporting, moderation, and audited admin actions are built into the platform.
Questions are healthy
What people usually want to know.
Is this pet sitting?
No. Nobody bids for jobs or charges an hourly rate. Pet sharing is for people who want an ongoing bond and owners who want another trusted person in their pet's life.
Do I have to commit to a 50/50 arrangement?
Not at all. A relationship might mean a regular Tuesday walk, occasional weekends, travel support, or a true second home. You choose what fits.
How do you help keep pets safe?
Dealbreakers override match scores. Members talk first, meet in public, use a short trial, submit feedback separately, and can report or block at any time.
What if there are not many members near me yet?
You can choose a wider search area and keep your profile ready. Shared.pet shows honest local availability rather than filling the screen with poor fits.
Does it cost anything to join?
Joining, browsing and expressing interest are free. Messaging and meeting arrangements require memberships for both people or a Circle Companion Pass. There are no sitter fees or payments for care.
More love. Less all-or-nothing.
