A walk with your pet can be a chance to make a friend. Meet people on huddle who would enjoy joining you, or find a group where you feel at home. Find out how to meet a dog walking companion. Find a starting point for making friends as an adult.
Making friends can feel awkward when you are new to an area. A shared love of pets gives you something to talk about. Explore Match in Connect, say hello to someone who interests you and see if a walk together feels right.
If you keep meeting the same people at the park, a huddle Group gives you a place to arrange the next visit. Create an event with a meeting place and time so members can RSVP. Ask the organiser what to expect if it is your first visit.
Public Groups for finding new regulars. Private Groups for the trusted circle — photo dumps, holiday cover, the emergency vet group chat.
Send a Wave in Match when you would like to say hello. Stars offer another way to start a conversation, depending on your account and available balance. You can keep talking in huddle before deciding whether to meet.
Dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, small mammals, farm animals — all welcome. And every kind of pet person: Pet Parents, fosters, rescue volunteers, shelter staff, vets, groomers, carers, and Animal Friends (people who love animals but don't currently have one of their own). All in. No gatekeeping.
Get the app and be told when your block is talking. Or read the feed in your browser first — nothing to install.
Ask people who
care about pets.
Sometimes you want to hear from someone who has been there with their own pet. Ask a question in Social, or share something you have learned that could help another owner. You can follow up when you need more detail.
