About Bloom
Bloom is a Canadian pet-sharing community made in British Columbia. Pet owners share their dog, cat or rabbit with a neighbour for walks, visits and sleepovers. Owners and borrowers never pay each other. Bloom checks every member's government ID and address before they can send a message, and owners always meet a borrower first and decide everything for their pet.
