What dog owners are saying

  • "Bella used to bark all day while I was at work. Now, thanks to her puppy playgroup, she comes home happy and exhausted! I can finally focus knowing she's having fun." 

    Emily W.

    Sydney, NSW.

  • "I'm a shift worker, and finding reliable dog care on my weird schedule was a nightmare. This platform is a lifesaver – I've matched with another owner who works nights, perfect for swapping walks!"

    Liam K

    Melbourne, Vic.

  • "My dog Max is a rescue with some anxiety. I was worried about playdates, but I was matched with a calm older dog in my area. They're now best buds, and it's helping Max come out of his shell."

    Sarah R.

    Perth, WA.

    "Honestly, I was skeptical at first – but the price was right, so I gave it a shot. Now, my pup has a whole crew of park friends, and I've actually met some great people too. It's been a win for both of us."

    Benji P.

    Brisbane, Qld.

    "As a single dog mom, I felt so guilty I couldn't give my dog round-the-clock attention. This app lets me connect with other owners who understand. We help each other out, and my dog is so much happier!"

    Wow. I can't believe this site exists! My husband and I have been thinking and talking about getting a dog for a couple of years but it's a huge commitment. We're retired so happy to look after a dog almost every day of the week.
