How it works
Host
Open your yard when you're home. Neighbors' dogs come play.
Visit
Send your dog to a neighbor's yard when you're out.
Every first visit starts with a quick meet at drop-off — and no money ever changes hands, credits only.

Why we exist
Some dogs lose their friends — the jumpers, the barkers, the ones who play too rough. Getting them back to play takes training their owners can't always afford. That's our mission: as DogYardShare grows, surplus membership revenue will fund free training so every dog can have friends again. We're not there yet — every membership gets us closer.
What it costs
$25/month.
That's the only recurring cost. Hosting earns credits, credits pay for your dog's visits, and no money ever changes hands between members.
Plus a one-time background check — $39 (about $43 with Colorado's processing fee), paid directly to the screening service when you join.
Everyone pays it. You're not paying to be checked — you're paying so you can trust that every member, every host, and every yard your dog visits was checked too. And it's verified at the county courthouse, not just a database lookup.
