Packmates

Walk with dogs who suit yours.

Find nearby owners who enjoy your kind of walk: a gentle loop, room to sniff, or company for a new adventure. Agree the plan privately, then meet somewhere public.

An example walk, as it appears in the app. The exact meeting point is shared once the organiser approves you.

Every walk says who it suits.

Organisers choose a walk type and add tags like On lead or Slow pace. Every dog has a profile too: size, energy, lead behaviour and comfort around other dogs.

If a walk might not suit one of your dogs, Packmates tells you before you ask. The organiser makes the final call.

Just a walk
An everyday walk with friendly company.
Puppy social
Gentle early meet-ups. Owners declare their puppy is fully vaccinated.
Needs space
Walks that keep plenty of distance between dogs.
Senior / slow
An easy pace for older legs and serious sniffers.
Training
Practise recall or lead manners alongside other owners.
Breed meet
A themed walk. The organiser describes who it’s for.

How a walk comes together

  1. Find a walk, or post one

    Browse near home or anywhere you’re visiting. Nothing suitable? Post one of your own.

  2. Ask and introduce your dogs

    Choose which dogs you’d bring and say hello. The organiser reviews your request, then approves or declines.

  3. Agree the plan, then accept

    Once approved, settle the time and a public meeting point privately. Your place is reserved when you accept.

Meet on your terms.

Packmates helps you find other owners. You decide who you walk with.

  • Verified email and phone

    Everyone is 18 or over, verifies both, and takes a private Proof of woof photo when they join.

  • Public places only

    Meeting points are named public places, never home addresses, and only approved owners see them.

  • You choose who joins

    Organisers see each request and the dogs coming before they approve anyone.

  • Report or block anytime

    Any walk, message or photo can be reported to the moderation team. Blocking stops contact.
