Features

Built for the way pets actually meet.

Six things we tuned carefully — from how matches work to what happens after a meetup goes badly.

  • Three ways to match

    Pet Match for play partners. Owner Match for the humans behind the leash. Breed Match (Gold) when only the same breed will do.

    • Filter by species, breed, distance
    • Energy & age compatibility
    • Switch modes anytime

  • Plan a playdate in two taps

    Pick a date, pick a place from a curated list of pet-friendly nearby spots, hit send. Calendar invite added automatically.

    • Two-tap RSVP
    • Calendar attached
    • Weather-aware reminders

  • Curated places nearby

    Dog parks, pet cafés, vets, off-leash beaches. Browse a hand-checked list, share spots with friends in a tap, never improvise.

    • Verified pet-friendly
    • One-tap directions
    • Share to Messages or anywhere

  • Voice notes for personality

    A 15-second voice note shows more in 5 seconds than a bio in 5 minutes. Both you and your pet can have one.

    • On profile
    • In chat
    • Pet voice notes too

  • Safety built in

    Verified profiles, every report reviewed, six categories of moderation, age-gated 18+. Built knowing pet meetups happen with strangers.

    • Selfie verification
    • Outcome-aware reporting
    • iOS Sensitive Content Warning

  • Privacy by default

    No data sold. No third-party trackers. Granular notification controls. Sign in with Apple supported. Account deletion is one tap and permanent.

    • Six notification toggles
    • Sign in with Apple
    • One-tap deletion

Match modes

Three matchers, one app.

Pets aren't people, owners aren't profiles, and not every match is the same kind of match. So we made three.

  1. 01

    Pet Match

    Default

    Classic. Two pets get along. Match-and-meet for the animals.

  2. 02

    Owner Match

    For the humans

    Match on the owners — common interests, shared values, vibes. Useful when you're the new pet parent in town and want friends, not just playdates.

  3. 03

    Breed Match

    Gold

    Same breed, same energy. For when only another whippet, frenchie, or maine coon owner truly gets it.

Trust & safety

The unsexy stuff, taken seriously.

Strangers meeting strangers — with animals — needs more than a report button.

  • Verified profiles

    Real-time selfie verification adds a blue badge. Optional, but visible — meet verified or don't meet.

  • Reports get answered

    Every report reviewed. The reporter sees the outcome the next time they open the app — reviewed, action taken, or dismissed.

  • Image moderation

    iOS Sensitive Content Warning screens uploads on-device before they reach our servers. Nothing inappropriate ever leaves your phone.

  • Text moderation

    Curated blocklists and pattern detection on messages. Slurs and solicitation are blocked at send time, not after damage is done.

  • Block & unblock

    One tap from any profile or chat. Confirmation alert on unblock so you don't undo it by accident. Full list in Settings.

  • First-meet tips

    The first time you match with anyone, a small card surfaces above the celebration buttons: meet in public, tell a friend, watch body language.
