You take the trip. Your Cavalier takes a sleepover.
A trust-first sitting-swap circle for Cavalier owners across California. Most members host before they ever travel — that's the whole idea, and it means there's a Cavalier on your sofa who isn't yours. And when you do go, your pup stays with people who know murmurs, meds, and the afternoon-nap protocol.
Every member personally welcomed by our teamFree foreverNo payments between members
Swap nights, not trust.
Post your trip dates
Tell the circle when you're away. Nearby hosts appear as neighbor introductions: real dogs, real first names, a neighborhood. Never an address.
Meet & greet first
Coffee, a sniff around the garden, your dog's Cav Card, and an emergency plan. All before any stay is confirmed.
Your pup stays with Cavalier people
A photo log of naps and walks while you're away. The address is shared only once you've both said yes.
Host once, bank nights
Host a fellow Cavalier and you bank nights for your own next trip. It's a ledger of favors between neighbors. Money never changes hands. Don't have a Cavalier right now? You can still join to host.
What members don't spend
$1,190$0
About two weeks of boarding, versus a swap between members. Money never changes hands.
Watch how the circle works.
Sitters who already know what a murmur means.
Every member is Cavalier family — owners, and sitters who’ve loved one. Health needs are shared in care language: handling rules, medication schedules, and the missed-dose protocol. Not buried in a booking note.
The circle meets in person.
