Paws Near Me - Your Park, Live

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.

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 ;-) ).
