Ever wondered if the park is too crowded before you leave the house? Or whether that one dog your pup doesn't get on with is already there? Paws Near Me is the real-time community intelligence layer built just for dog owners

Starting in London, we're changing the way you walk your dog.

COMMUNITY SOURCED HAZARD ALERTS

Know about hazards in your local area and on your dog walking routes before you go

Get real time alerts with map pins so you know exactly where there's trouble and how to avoid it — from broken glass and dangerous food to aggressive dog sightings, wildlife warnings and flooded paths

Help keep dogs in the community safe and other owners informed by contributing and reporting errors when you encounter them.

LIVE DOG PARK INTELLIGENCE

See who's at the dog park before you go

Get insights about which breeds, sizes and genders of dogs frequent your local park, along with busy and quiet period predictions

See how well socialised the dogs at the park are, and have an idea of whether your dog will have a good or great time

Have a reactive dog? Use our live density data and off-peak alerts to find quiet windows, avoid triggers, and walk with confidence

Ghost Mode keeps your location entirely private when you need it.

DETAILED HEALTH, CARE & SYMPTOM TRACKING

Track all your dog's important details and share their care information with your family and dog walkers

View symptoms in a list alongside relevant context giving you an insight into what may have caused the problem

Don't just guess how frequently your dog needs a bathroom break or when their next heat cycle is due — let Paws Near Me predict intelligently based on the information you track.

WALK TRACKING, BUILT JUST FOR DOGS (AND THEIR HOOMANS)

Track your walks in detail, log your dog's potty breaks, and view how far and how long you walk and at what pace

See insights into your patterns over time and discover which spots your dog loves most with our custom sniff stop tracker, which automatically identifies the long stops you and your dog make on every walk.

PLAN SOCIALISATION & FIND YOUR PACK

Never miss a socialisation opportunity

See which of your dog's favourite friends are at the park, organise breed-specific meetups, or connect with your regular pack

Whether your dog is a social butterfly or needs their personal space, Paws Near Me helps every outing go smoothly.

CONNECT WITH OUR DOG LOVING COMMUNITY

Make new friends and connect with other dog lovers through our dedicated area pages

Start and join discussions, share tips, and help foster the warm and welcoming dog neighbourhood you've always wanted — without ads, dark patterns, or the distractions of other platforms

You know who we're talking about.

TRUSTED BY DESIGN — INVITE ONLY

Paws Near Me isn't open to everyone, and that's the point

Viewing other dogs on the live map requires an invite code from a verified member of the community — someone already on the app who can vouch for you

Once you're in, you get your own code to bring in the people you trust.

New to the app? You'll start by connecting with the person who invited you

Once they accept your dog's friend request, you're verified and the full community opens up — no forms, no waiting, no ID uploads

Just a real trust chain, built dog by dog.

Don't know anyone on the app yet? Ask around at your local park, vet, or breed community, or introduce yourself to our beloved matron @echothatwolf on social media and she'll be able to vouch for you (if she thinks you're sound ;-) ).
