Provider verification

Every provider submits government-issued ID. Where the service requires it (grooming, training, veterinary, boarding), we verify professional licences and insurance. Verification badges appear on every profile.

Background checks

High-touch services like overnight boarding and in-home sitting require Checkr background checks in Phase 2. The check covers identity, criminal records, and relevant animal-welfare history.

The PET SCION Guarantee

Every completed booking is covered. If a provider cancels last-minute, no-shows, or a service goes wrong, we refund you and help find a replacement. There's no fine print — just a support team empowered to make it right.

Incident reporting

If an incident happens — injury, property damage, or a welfare concern — open an in-app report. Our trust team triages within 24 hours, collects evidence, and liaises with insurance where needed.

Data privacy & security

Encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Granular consent for analytics, AI training, and provider sharing. DSAR self-serve (export, delete, rectify) by Phase 2. PIPEDA compliant in Canada; GDPR-ready.

Animal welfare policy

PET SCION has a zero-tolerance policy for animal cruelty or neglect. Reports are escalated immediately, providers are suspended pending review, and we work with local authorities where required.
