## What is Loulu?

Loulu is a neighborhood pet-care community. Instead of paying a stranger, you trade care with the neighbors around you — and keep score in Lu.

HOW IT WORKS

Add your dog, set your neighborhood, and see the dogs living near you, sorted by how close they are. Found someone? Send a care request for the dates you need. When a neighbor says they can help, you confirm the one you want.

Care is paid in Lu, never cash. Sit for someone overnight and you earn Lu. Need a sitter yourself and you spend it. You start with a welcome bonus, so you can ask for help before you've given any.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• A neighbor feed that shows the dogs nearby, closest first
• Full dog profiles — photos, breed, size, feeding, allergies, medications, vet
• Care requests with a shared calendar for picking dates
• A message thread for each booking, with photo sharing during care
• Two-way reviews, so both sides build a reputation
• Your Lu balance and a full history of how you earned and spent it
• Luwards — limited drops you can redeem with earned Lu

BUILT FOR TRUST

Every member signs in with Apple or Google, agrees to a care agreement before their first booking, and can be blocked or reported at any time. Your exact address is never shown to anyone — neighbors only ever see roughly how far away you are.

Loulu charges a small matching fee when you confirm a booking, shown in full before you commit. Sending requests is always free, however many neighbors you ask.

Loulu is a platform for neighbors to find each other. We don't employ or supervise sitters, and care arrangements are made between members.
