Built by people who live it.

Hi! We're Athena and Anson, the founders of PawPass.

We're service dog handlers, experienced dog trainers, and lifelong dog lovers who know firsthand how much a welcoming experience can matter.

Over the years, we've seen incredible businesses go above and beyond to make people feel comfortable, and we've also seen how a lack of education or understanding can create unnecessary stress for everyone involved.

Those experiences inspired us to build something different.

PawPass is more than a directory. It's a community designed to recognize welcoming businesses, provide practical educational resources, and connect handlers, pet owners, trainers, and businesses through real experiences and mutual respect.

We believe most businesses genuinely want to create positive experiences. They simply need the right tools, information, and feedback. We also believe handlers and pet owners deserve confidence before they walk through the door.

That's why PawPass exists.

As founders, we're building the platform we always wished existed: a place where businesses can be recognized for doing the right thing, where communities can share honest experiences, and where everyone can help create a more welcoming world for dogs and the people who love them.

We're excited to be in our soft launch and invite you to help shape the future of PawPass.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.
