Vetted.
Not listed.

Pawternity's directory exists for the dog owners who would never settle for a random review. We don't list everyone. We list the people we'd actually send a friend to. This is the case for being one of them.

01 — The audience

The London dog owner who is, frankly, particular.

Pawternity is a wellness app for dog parents who refuse to accept that their dog is "just a dog." They research the food. They vet the groomer. They are tired of being told to chill.

They use Pawternity to track their dog's wellbeing day to day, talk to Pax — our AI wellness companion — about the small daily questions, and, when it matters, find professionals they can trust without rolling the dice on a five-star review left by a stranger.

UK dogs
Living in 36% of households — the most popular pet in Britain by a clear margin.
~1.3M
London dogs
Greater London is the UK's highest-spend regional market for dog services — a denser, more discerning customer base than anywhere else in the country.
£10bn+
Spent on dogs annually
UK dog owners spend more than £10 billion a year on their dogs alone — food, grooming, training, vet care, walking, photography, the lot.

The owners Pawternity serves are a slice of that market — but they are the slice who spend, stay loyal, and tell their friends. They are the customers you want; the ones who don't haggle, don't churn, and recognise good work when they see it.

02 — The principle

A directory only works if you'd actually use it.

Most "find a [service]" sites are unsorted noise — a list of everyone who paid to be there, dressed up as a recommendation. They are useful to no one and trusted by fewer.

Vetted is the opposite. Every listing is hand-chosen by Pawternity. Every listing comes with an editorial note explaining why we chose them — what they do that nobody else does, who they're right for, who they're not. And every category is capped by postcode, because a directory of "the best" cannot also be a directory of everyone.

We wouldn't recommend a groomer who couldn't sit with a frightened dog. We wouldn't recommend a trainer who blamed the owner. We wouldn't recommend a photographer who pushed for happy shots when the dog was scared. So we don't.

That standard is the product. It is what dog owners are paying us — with their attention and their loyalty — to maintain. And it is what makes a Vetted listing worth something.

03 — What a Vetted listing includes

Five things, done properly.

i.

An editorial profile, written by us

Not a directory listing. A short, considered piece on what you do, who you do it best for, and why we chose you. Written in our voice, approved in yours. Photography from your own work, framed properly.

ii.

A protected category cap, by postcode

We cap each category geographically, with a limited number of providers per postcode cluster. You won’t find yourself shoulder-to-shoulder with a row of near-identical competitors — the directory is curated to keep your work seen, not crowded out. Scarcity is the point, and it’s contractual.

iii.

Direct enquiries from the app

Pawternity users find you in-app, in context — often after a wellness check-in or a conversation with Pax has surfaced exactly the kind of professional you are. They arrive warm, briefed, and looking specifically for what you do.

iv.

Featured posts on @pawternity

Curated features on our Instagram and stories — your work, our framing. We're not promising you a thousand new followers; we're promising the right ones, properly introduced.

v.

A spot in our quarterly newsletter

Four times a year, Pawternity sends a long-form newsletter to our user base — seasonal guides, the people we love, the places we've found. Vetted members are featured, in rotation, in our voice.

04 — The founder offer

An honest price, locked.

We are at the start. Pawternity launched in April 2026; the directory is opening with a small founding cohort. We are not pretending to be further along than we are — and we are not asking you to gamble on numbers.

What we are offering is a price that reflects where we are now, locked in for as long as you stay.

Founding member rate
£65/month
Locked at this rate for twelve months · standard rate £95/month thereafter

You join at the founder rate now, and you keep it through your first year. The audience grows, the directory's value compounds, and you do not get charged more for being early.

05 — Fit

Who Vetted is — and isn't — for.

We'd rather have a small directory of the right people than a large one of the wrong ones. To save us both time:

This is for you if

  • You have a craft, not just a service
  • You'd rather have ten right clients than a hundred wrong ones
  • You're independent, or a small team with a clear point of view
  • You'd be embarrassed to be listed somewhere indiscriminate
  • You believe owners should be more particular, not less

This is not for you if

  • You're optimising for volume above all
  • You think a five-star average is enough to recommend someone
  • You'd rather pay for a banner ad than an editorial profile
  • Your model relies on being on every directory
  • You prefer being one of many to being one of few

Thank you for the conversation.

It was lovely to meet you. Vetted is being built deliberately, by hand, with a small founding cohort — and I’d genuinely love for you to be part of it. Take your time with this; whenever you’re ready, you know where to find me.
