Buyer confidence

What you can rely on

Messaging, video calls, health details from the breeder, and optional protection for your deposit.

  • Message breeders

    Chat with the breeder from any listing. Browsing and messaging cost nothing.

  • Video calls

    Book a call from the listing, inside the breeder's own availability, before any money changes hands.

  • Health info from breeders

    Vaccinations, vet checks and genetic records appear on a listing only when the breeder has documented them.

  • Optional Buyer Protection · $29

    Added to your deposit at checkout if you choose it. If the breeder never delivers your puppy, it covers the deposit you paid through Pick Me Pets. The fee itself is not refunded, and it does not cover the final payment — that is held until you confirm the hand-off. Buyer Protection Policy

What happens next

From first message to pickup day

Availability, reservation requirements and timing vary by breeder — each listing and conversation tells you theirs.

  1. Step 1: Send an inquiry

    On a puppy's page, use Chat with the breeder, or Contact this breeder in the breeder card.

  2. Step 2: Connect with the breeder

    The breeder replies in your Pick Me Pets messages, where the whole conversation stays.

  3. Step 3: Ask questions and meet over video when available

    Book a video call from the listing to see the puppy, the litter and where it is raised.

  4. Step 4: Review the reservation terms

    A deposit (reservation fee) holds the puppy and comes off the price; the balance is paid at pickup. A deposit is paid to the breeder when you pay it, so it is non-refundable by default — read the Refund Policy first.

  5. Step 5: Arrange pickup or transportation

    Agree the go-home day and how your puppy travels. Your final payment is held until you confirm the hand-off.

Questions

Before you reserve

All FAQs
How do I contact a breeder?
Open a puppy's page and use Chat with the breeder, or Contact this breeder in the breeder card. Browsing, messaging a breeder and booking a video call cost nothing.
Can I meet a puppy over video?
Yes. Listings have a video-call button, which books a call inside that breeder's own availability. You see the puppy, the litter and the home it is being raised in before any money changes hands.
How do reservations work?
You pay a reservation fee (deposit) to hold the puppy. It comes off the price, and the balance is paid to the breeder at pickup. A deposit is the breeder's commitment money and is paid to them when you pay it, so it is non-refundable by default; a final payment is held until you confirm the hand-off. The Refund Policy sets out every case.
What does Buyer Protection cover?
Buyer Protection ($29) is optional and added to your deposit at checkout. If the breeder never delivers the puppy, we'll help you get your deposit back — up to the amount you paid through the platform. It applies only to non-delivery, only to deposits paid with the Buyer Protection Fee included, and the fee itself is not refunded. Read the Buyer Protection Policy for what it does not cover and how to claim.
When can I take my puppy home?
Each listing shows the date the breeder plans to send the puppy home. It is the breeder's plan, not a date agreed with you — you agree the exact day with them after you reserve. We ask that you complete pickup within two weeks of the go-home date listed on the puppy page.
How do pickup and transportation work?
Each breeder offers its own options — in-person pickup at the kennel, ground transport, flight nanny or meet-halfway — and the ones available are shown on the puppy page. The buyer typically pays for transport beyond local pickup; quotes vary by distance and method, and the breeder confirms a price after you reserve.
