Pets ready to meet you

Completed listings remain in marketplace history with a clear status.

Dogs & cats, at home here

Small moments. A lifelong commitment.

Every pet has its own personality. Take time to understand their routine, care needs, and the home where they can thrive.

These photos and video are homepage inspiration. Browse the marketplace for current listings and availability.

Our mission

Make every pet connection more thoughtful.

SweetHomePet brings public discovery, moderated listings, structured applications, private conversations, and durable completion history into one welfare-minded experience.

Our vision

A marketplace where transparency outlives the transaction.

Adopted, rehomed, and sold pets remain visible as completed—not quietly removed—while participant conversations and records remain private.

How SweetHomePet works

A clear path from browsing to handover

No checkout promises and no automatic delivery claims—just accountable steps supported by the platform.

  1. 1

    Browse publicly

    Search available and completed listings without creating an account.

  2. 2

    Verify your email

    Register and confirm your email before applying, buying, or creating a listing.

  3. 3

    Connect privately

    Use structured applications or buyer interest. Accepted participants can coordinate inside SweetHomePet.

  4. 4

    Record completion

    The owner marks the pet Adopted, Rehomed, or Sold. Sold listings may add a moderated one-minute handover video.

Trust & ethical standards

A thoughtful match starts with safer decisions.

Recognise warning signs, take time to ask questions, and use SweetHomePet’s safeguards to help reduce risk. Pet welfare comes before the transaction.

Verification and moderation support safer decisions. They do not guarantee a person’s conduct, a pet’s health, or a transaction outcome.

Spot the warning signs

How Pet Scams Work

A warning sign is a reason to pause and check—not proof on its own.

  • Unusually low prices paired with an urgent deadline.
  • Pressure to pay immediately or skip appropriate checks.
  • Requests for off-platform payment before you have checked the pet and the person.
  • Refusal to provide relevant care or health records.
  • Seller details, photos, or explanations that do not match.

Use the available safeguards

How SweetHomePet Helps Protect You

  • Moderated listings: new and materially edited listings are reviewed before marketplace publication.
  • Meaningful verification: email verification is required for transaction actions. Professional verification badges appear only after a separate review; an account label alone is not a badge.
  • Private contact details: public pages use broad locations. Exact addresses, contact details, application answers, and workflow conversations stay private.
  • Private messaging: accepted participants can coordinate through SweetHomePet workflow conversations.
  • Reporting & Support review: report suspicious listings or relevant workflow activity for Support review and appropriate moderation or restrictions.
  • Preserved records: transaction and workflow history supports review. Adopted, Rehomed, and Sold listings remain clearly marked as completed.
Care on both sides

Protecting Sellers Too

Owners, shelters, rescues, and breeders can also encounter suspicious buyer behaviour.

  • Pause if a buyer pressures you to rush a handover, share sensitive details, or follow an unfamiliar payment link.
  • Use the report link on relevant listings or workflow items, or contact Customer Support about a concern.
  • Support can review reported behaviour and apply appropriate account restrictions.
  • Preserved conversations and workflow records help provide context for review.
  • Meet safely, review care information, ask questions, and never let pressure replace appropriate checks.

Pause. Keep the details. Report.

Something does not feel right?

Use the report link on the relevant listing or workflow item so Support can review the concern in context. For help or follow-up, contact Customer Support with the listing link and a factual summary.

Pickup, handover & delivery

Plan the transfer around the pet—not a sales promise.

Owners and selected participants arrange their own lawful, welfare-minded handover. SweetHomePet does not provide transport or guarantee nationwide delivery.

Read safety guidance

Before the pet changes homes

  • Meet in a safe, appropriate setting and verify who is receiving the pet.
  • Share relevant care routines, food, medication, and health information privately.
  • Protect street addresses, documents, vehicle details, and personal contact information.
  • For a sold pet, keep any public handover video under one minute and privacy-safe.
Responsible pet ownership

Prepare for the life after the match

Time & routine

Plan daily care, exercise, enrichment, training, and gradual settling-in.

Health & records

Arrange appropriate veterinary care and confirm which records travel with the pet.

Home & budget

Check housing rules and budget for food, equipment, routine care, and emergencies.

Frequently asked questions

Know what happens before you act

SweetHomePet keeps discovery open while reserving transaction actions for verified accounts.

Do I need an account to browse?

No. The marketplace and public listing details are open. You need a verified account to apply, express buyer interest, or create and manage a listing.

Why do completed pets stay visible?

Keeping Adopted, Rehomed, and Sold listings visible makes their outcome clear and preserves useful marketplace history. They cannot receive new applications or buyer interest.

Does SweetHomePet verify every seller, breeder, or shelter?

No automatic claim is made. An account may describe its role, while a visible verification badge is shown only when SweetHomePet has approved a separate verification request.

Does SweetHomePet deliver pets or guarantee their health?

No. SweetHomePet does not promise transport, insurance, registration, licensing, or health guarantees. Participants must make lawful, welfare-minded arrangements and complete appropriate checks.
