How NearPaw works

A short booking path without hiding the safety work.

NearPaw keeps the first request simple, then applies the verification, matching, tracking, and escalation controls behind it.

  1. 1

    Pick a service

    Choose a walk or drop-in now. Sitting and boarding appear only after operations activates them.

  2. 2

    Choose speed or a caregiver

    Use Fastest Qualified Match or review an eligible caregiver. Skill and risk fit come before proximity.

  3. 3

    Follow care in the app

    See arrival, PIN check-in, live route, pet-presence updates, photos, messages, and safe return.

  4. 4

    Review and reach a human

    Rate completed care and open a support or safety case tied to the exact booking when needed.

Get started with NearPaw

Preview screens show the intended workflow. Public availability depends on the controlled pilot and verified caregiver capacity.

Built around the failure points

A managed care network—not a classifieds board.

NearPaw is designed to take responsibility for dispatch, verification, live evidence, and escalation. Software alone is not the promise; the operating system behind it is.

01

Care Now

See realistic arrival options based on verified caregivers who are actually online and qualified for your pet.

How urgent dispatch works →
02

Verified Caregiver

Identity, role-appropriate background screening, service eligibility, and pet-specific skill approval are tracked separately.

03

Dual Tracking

Track the caregiver phone and, when connected, a GPS/LTE pet tracker. A phone route alone never proves the pet is present.

04

Real Backup

Late arrival, no movement, cancellation, lost-pet, and safety workflows are visible to operations—not buried in a chat bot.

The CareProof difference

Every care session becomes a verifiable timeline.

From acceptance to safe return, each material event is time-stamped and tied to the booking.

Live route with signal truth

See the last update time, location accuracy, phone battery, and tracker status—not a misleading frozen dot.

⌁

Proof of Pet Presence

QR/NFC tag checks and time-stamped media help show that the animal—not only the phone—is where expected.

!

Automatic escalation

Operational alerts can flag missed ETA, stale GPS, abnormal separation, or an incident report for human review.

Services for the pilot

Focused enough to do the important work properly.

For exceptional caregivers

Good care deserves transparent work.
