PawSafe is a Directory Only
PawSafe operates as an information directory. We provide a platform for independent pet care providers to advertise their services and for pet owners to discover them.
PawSafe does not:
- Employ, hire, or supervise any provider listed on the platform
- Set the prices, terms, or conditions of any pet care arrangement
- Participate in, facilitate, or mediate any transaction between a pet owner and a provider
- Guarantee the quality, safety, legality, or suitability of any provider or their services
- Independently verify all claims made by providers in their listings
Any arrangement made between a pet owner and a provider through PawSafe is a direct agreement between those two parties. PawSafe is not a party to that agreement.
