Playdates for dogs. Friends for their humans.
SwiPaws helps you find nearby dogs — and the people who love them — for playdates, walks, and good company.
Swipe, match, and meet up.
It's not dating, it's play-dating🐾
Finding the right playmate for your pup shouldn't mean awkward dog-park encounters or hoping the dog down the street is friendly.
SwiPaws connects you with compatible dogs and owners nearby — so every meetup starts with something in common.
Your dog deserves friends. So do you.
How it works
1. Build your pack profile
Add your dog, a few photos, and what you're both about. Big or small, shy or social — every pup belongs here.
2. Swipe & match
Browse dogs nearby. Woof the ones you like. When it's mutual, you match and can start chatting.
3. Meet up & play
Plan a park day, a walk, or a low-key hangout. Real friendships, on four legs and two.
Built by a certified dog trainer — with every dog in mind
SwiPaws was created by a CPDT-KA certified professional dog trainer who knows that not every dog is ready to be the life of the party — and that's okay.
