Account and consent
Contact verification, transparent screening consent, and secure account controls.
Caregiver network
Be trusted for what you can actually do.
NearPaw does not treat a background check as proof of animal-handling skill. Build an approved service profile, disclose your limits, and accept only work you are qualified to perform.

Approval path
A real gate before real responsibility.
Identity
Configured third-party verification or controlled manual review.
Background
Role-appropriate Canadian screening, decision, and expiry date.
Skills
Services and pet categories reviewed separately by operations.
Dispatch approval
Only fully current profiles can go online or accept offers.
Fair dispatch principles
Safety ranking cannot be sold.
- See material pet risks before acceptance
- See service amount and timing
- No pay-to-win Care Now ranking
- Safety refusal without pretending the job was completed
- Structured incident evidence
- Administrator review and audit trail
Honest limitation
Approval is not employment.
The worker-classification, insurance, tax, occupational health and safety, and control model must be reviewed for the actual NearPaw operation before launch. A contract label cannot override the real relationship.
