- A lead contract must be used at all times

- All communication must be kind and respectful
- Remember that all pet sharing is on a voluntary basis, so all furry playdates are by prior mutual arrangement and carers are not obliged to provide regular care
- Any furry playdates that have been arranged should be kept, if possible, as a general courtesy to other members.
No, carers who join Share My Pet do so for their genuine love of animals and to make new furry friends. Any playdates arranged between sharers and carers are on a voluntary basis for both parties, and no money is ever exchanged.
It’s totally up to you! You can be a daily joy in a pet’s life, a casual buddy or a once off companion. We do recommend forming a relationship with the owner and pet to give everyone involved peace of mind.
