General Benefits for Buyers
ID Verified Sellers
To receive Pet Payments all sellers must complete ID verification which disreputable breeders don't like to do. Knowing that the seller has been verified can give you peace of mind when making a purchase.
Pets4Homes Guarantee
You can get peace of mind with the Pets4Homes Guarantee which ensures you bring home a healthy pet.
Traceable Payments
A Pet Payment is easily traceable by Pets4Homes, unlike cash or a bank transfer. If you need to dispute the payment, we help to resolve the issue with better payment tracking.
Neutral Third Party
If a dispute arises between you and the seller, Pets4Homes will work with both parties to help resolve the situation. At Pets4Homes we will always work to find the best solution with the pet’s welfare as the number one priority.
Simple Payments
You can pay via open banking and debit/credit card after a visit with your new pet. We will only transfer any deposit immediately. The final balance of your new pet is released with the click of a button when you're collecting your pet which means you can focus on your pet, not setting up a fiddly bank transfer.
Benefits For Sellers
Pet Payments is the safest way for buyers to pay for their pet and for every seller that accepts them, Pets4Homes becomes safer. As a thank you for helping keep our site safe, we offer you various rewards!
Earn Boosts While You Rehome Pets
Your advert will be automatically Boosted for 3 days (a small boost) when:
- You complete ID verification and submit your bank details so we can send payments to you. This is a one-time step.
- Every time a buyer makes a Pet Payment for one of your pets.
This will help you rehome an entire litter faster and at a lower cost than before.
How many Boosts can I earn?
You can earn one small Boost for your advert for every pet in your advert. For example, if you have 5 puppies to rehome you can earn 5 small Boosts!
If you accept a Pet Payment while your advert is already Boosted, the free additional Boost will be stacked on top of your existing Boost.
Collect Verified Buyer Reviews
- A few days after a buyer collects their pet from you we will ask them by email to leave a review for you.
- Soon we will start displaying these reviews on your profile
