What is Pawprint?

Pawprint is a two-sided pet-care marketplace. Owners find and book trusted local providers for dog walking, pet sitting, boarding, grooming, and more, with payment held until the provider accepts. Providers get everything they need to run the business and get paid, straight to their bank. One app, both sides.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Pawprint cost?

Pawprint is free to download. You only pay for the services you book. Each provider sets their own price, and you always see the full amount before you confirm. A platform fee on each booking helps run the marketplace and keep payments secure.

How are payments handled, and when am I charged?

Payments run securely through Stripe. Pay with Apple Pay or a card. When you book, the payment is authorized and held, not immediately charged. The charge is only captured when the provider accepts and the service goes ahead. If they decline, no charge occurs.

How does Pawprint keep things safe and trustworthy?

Providers verify their government-issued ID through Stripe Identity, and profiles show phone and email verification badges. Payments are held until the service is confirmed, messaging stays on-platform, and you can read reviews, report or block users, and raise a dispute on a completed booking.

What pet services can I book?

Dog walking, pet sitting, boarding, grooming, and more. Book a specific provider's package directly, or post a request describing what you need and let verified providers send you offers.

What platforms is Pawprint available on?

Pawprint is live now on iOS (iPhone, iOS 16 or later) on the App Store. An Android version is in active development. Join the waitlist on this page to be notified at launch.

Can I message my provider and track the service?

Yes, chat in real time before, during, and after a service. For dog walks, you can follow the route live on a map and get a distance, duration, and pace recap when it ends. Push notifications keep you posted on messages, acceptances, and check-ins.

How do providers get paid?

Providers connect a bank account through Stripe Connect during onboarding. After a booking is completed, the payout (the service price minus the platform fee, with standard Stripe processing fees deducted at payout) is sent to their bank. Providers see their fee rate and per-booking payout estimate right in the app.
