Question 1

Is Stayadoodle safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every member is verified before joining, profiles include reviews and history from other members, and all activity happens inside the app so you always have a record. Our community is built on trust.

Question 2

How much does membership cost?

Accepted Answer

Membership is a low monthly subscription that keeps Stayadoodle running. There are no per-booking fees between members — credits handle the care exchange. You can see current pricing inside the pricing section of the website and applications.

Question 3

How does the Care Credit system work?

Accepted Answer

Each time you sit, walk, or watch over a member's dog, you earn Care Credits based on the type and length of care. You can spend those credits whenever you need someone to care for your dog. Membership keeps the platform running — Care Credits keep care between members fair.

Question 4

Do I have to host dogs to be a member?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Many members only request care, and that's perfectly fine. You can earn Care Credits whenever you have time to help a neighbor.

Question 5

What is Stayadoodle?

Accepted Answer

Stayadoodle is a subscription-based dog care community where members earn and use credits by helping each other. Instead of paying per booking, you earn Care Credits when you care for someone else's dog, and spend Care Credits when you need care for yours.

Question 6

What kind of care can I provide?

Accepted Answer

Dog sitting at your home, dog walking, daycare, drop-in visits, and boarding. You choose what types of care you're comfortable providing and set your own availability.

Question 7

Can I cancel my membership?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel anytime from your account settings. Your remaining credits stay in your account if you ever decide to rejoin.

Question 8

Can I buy Care Credits?

Accepted Answer

No. Care Credits are designed to be earned through community participation, such as caring for another member’s dog, completing a qualifying referral, or receiving an eligible membership bonus. They have no cash value and cannot be purchased, withdrawn, or exchanged for money.

Question 9

How are members verified?

Accepted Answer

We review every profile before approving membership. Members must complete their profile, verify their identity, and agree to our community guidelines. Once active, the review system keeps everyone accountable.

Question 10

How is Stayadoodle different from other pet sitting services?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional platforms where you pay per booking, Stayadoodle uses a credit system. There are no per-booking fees between members. Your membership keeps the platform running, and credits keep care fair and balanced.

How many credits does hosting earn?

Accepted Answer

You earn 1 Care Credit for up to 4 hours of care and 2 Care Credits for more than 4 hours, up to one full day. Multi-day bookings earn up to 2 Care Credits per day.

The exact amount is shown before you accept the care request and is added to your Care Credit Wallet after the booking is completed.
