Human help, close to home✦
01 / The familiar scramble
Pet care shouldn’t start with a group-chat panic.
Plans change. Shifts run late. Your dog still needs a walk and your cat remains gloriously indifferent to your calendar.
Instead of messaging everyone you know—or handing care to a faceless agency—put one clear request in front of pet people who already live nearby.
02 / A better way
A noticeboard built around the pet.
Small, practical tools for arranging the kind of favour neighbours have always done for one another.
Properly local
Set the distance that feels nearby.
Browse requests around your neighbourhood, from a close three-kilometre circle outward.
You choose
A raised paw is an offer, not an obligation.
Read each note and decide who feels right before making a connection.
One calm place
Keep requests and offers together.
See what needs attention, what’s been accepted and what’s already sorted without digging through old messages.
03 / How it works
From “oh no” to all sorted.
Three small steps. No agency maze.

06 / Ask away
Before you join the pack.
Useful answers, minus the fine-print fog.
What kind of pet care can I ask for?
You can pin requests for pet sitting, drop-ins and walks. Include dates, pets and care notes so neighbours can offer with confidence.
How local is “nearby”?
You control the search distance from the help board. Start close to home and widen the range when you need more options.
Does Pawneighbour choose someone for me?
No. Neighbours offer to help, and the person who posted the request decides which offer to accept.
Are neighbours background checked?
Pawneighbour is a community noticeboard, not a vetting service. Chat first, meet in a public place and make the same careful checks you would with any new pet carer.
Is it free to join?
Yes. You can create a profile, add your pets, browse the board and pin requests without a subscription.
What if my pet has a very particular routine?
That is exactly what the care notes are for. Share feeding, walking and personality details before accepting an offer, then confirm everything together.
