Company Summary

We’re a brand new way for dog owners and their dogs to meet new friends in their neighborhoods. Our platform pairs dogs based on their size, sex, breed, energy level, and location, infusing elements of a dating site into the pet-related space. Owners can arrange and join playdates, whether for finding matches for a quick stroll in the park or just meeting up with other dog owners and their dogs to play some fetch and sniff some butts.
