Safety & privacy

What's shared,
and when

Dogweek is built so the sensitive things stay private until there's a reason to share them. Here's the whole model in plain language — no terms to decode.

Three principles

How we decide, every time

Families control everything

Your family owns your dog's details. No sitter, daycare or neighbour reaches anything without your family saying yes first.

Access is per-dog and revocable

A link is for one dog, and lasts only as long as you want. End it and access stops the same second — next time they look, there's nothing there.

Least shared, by default

Every view shows only what the task needs. Microchip number and insurance simply aren't part of what a sitter or a daycare can see.

A sitter

Before, and after, you choose

The same person, two very different views — the line is the moment you accept.

Before matching
  • No address
  • No dog's name
  • No notes
  • Only the area, time and pay
After you choose them
  • The exact address
  • The dog's name and care notes
  • An emergency contact (vet)
  • Still no chip or insurance

And when the walk is over, that view closes again.

A daycare

Only the dogs you approved

A daycare is found with an enrolment code, but the code grants nothing on its own — it only lets a family request a link, which the family then approves per dog. Only then does the daycare see the dog's safe profile.

  • The safe profile — no chip, no insurance
  • Access ends when the family ends the link
  • Internal staff notes are never shown to the family
Request pending — family hasn't approved
Approved — safe profile visible

In short

The things that keep it safe

Sitters are 18+

Being a sitter requires being at least 18, checked when the profile is made.

Reviews both ways

After a completed walk, a review can be left — so good behaviour shows, on every side.

Address on accept only

Where the dog lives is never shared before the family has chosen a sitter.

Cancellations & no-shows

Handled in the open and recorded in the history, so patterns show over time.

Private photos

Photos of dogs and daily reports live in private storage, reached only through links that expire.

Delete and it's gone

Delete your account and your data and photos are removed — not hidden, removed.
