How we look after each other

Every introduction, walk and Meet & Greet should be built around what’s best for the pets involved. If a pet seems unsettled, tired or uncomfortable, slow down or stop — there is no rush.

Speak to other members the way you’d speak to a neighbour. No harassment, no discrimination, no aggressive language. Disagreements happen — handle them with patience.

Trust is built one step at a time. Meet in a neutral, public place first. Keep dogs on leads until both owners are comfortable. Never leave a pet with someone you haven’t met in person.

Share only what you’re comfortable sharing. Never post someone else’s address, phone number or personal details. Keep private conversations private.

Use real photos and accurate information about you and your pet. Mention any health conditions, allergies or behaviour that a new friend should know about — it keeps everyone safe.

• Buying, selling or breeding pets through the platform.
• Advertising professional services or promotions.
• Any form of animal cruelty, neglect or unsafe handling.
• Impersonating another person or pet.
• Sharing content that is illegal, hateful or explicit.

If anything ever feels wrong — a pet’s welfare, a member’s behaviour, or something you’ve seen on the platform — please tell us. Email hello@trustedpetcircles.com. We read every message and respond personally.

We may warn, suspend or remove members who breach these guidelines. We’d always rather have a quiet, caring community than a large one.
