How pricing works on Pawprint

  • No booking fee for pet owners. Providers pay the platform fee. Your total depends on the package and booking details, and is shown before you confirm.
  • Your card is only charged on acceptance. Booking sends a request; payment happens when the provider accepts, and it's held by Stripe until the job is done.
  • Prices are set by providers. Every listing shows its packages up front, so you can compare real options side by side instead of requesting quotes.

Common questions

What vaccines does my dog need before boarding?

Most hosts require rabies at minimum, and many ask for DHPP and Bordetella. Check the listing and confirm with the host before booking.

Why do boarding prices in Richmond, VA vary so much?

The host’s setup is the price. A host who takes one dog at a time in a fenced home with daily updates prices differently than a multi-dog household. Read what each listing includes.

Boarding or a pet sitter?

Dogs who love new places usually do great boarding; anxious dogs and most cats do better at home with a sitter. Our boarding vs. sitting guide walks through it.
