Three promises

Built around the way you actually live with a pet.

Not features. Promises — the things we'd quit our jobs over.

№ 01

Your neighborhood, mapped.

See the dogs, the cafés, the parks, and the people on your actual block. Live. Right now. Not someone's curated grid in another city.

Open the map
№ 02

Your people, found.

Match with owners by block and by breed. Sitters who actually know senior beagles. Playdates you can open to everyone or to dogs like yours.

Find your pack
№ 03

Their story, written.

Every walk, photo, café visit, and playdate auto-logged into a beautiful timeline you'll actually want to look back on. Strava for the dog. Sort of.

Every coral pin is a dog out right now. Every yellow pin, a café with the water bowl out. Every green pin, a park where someone's meeting up.

Your pet's story

Every walk, every café, every new friend — written down for them.

The boring parts and the magical parts. Auto-captured. A timeline you'll actually want to look at when they're 14 and sleeping more than walking.

  3. 03
    A pet-friendly map you trust.

Pethood, plainly answered.

What is Pethood?

Pethood is a hyperlocal social app for pet owners and pet lovers. It shows the pets, owners and pet-friendly places around you on a live map, with a neighbourhood feed and Q&A, playdates, small favours between neighbours and "I'm here" check-ins. It is starting in Zagreb, Croatia, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

Is there a social app for meeting other dog owners and dog walking nearby?

Yes, that is Pethood. See dogs and owners on your block, post a check-in like "At the park now" that nearby owners can join, plan playdates matched by size, age and energy, and ask a neighbour to walk your dog when you can't.

Is Pethood free, and which phones does it run on?

The community core is free: meeting people, playdates, Q&A, favours and lost-pet reach. Pethood+, an optional subscription, is available in the app at €4.99 a month or €39 a year (euro area). Pethood is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.

Is Pethood a paid dog-walking or pet-sitting service?

No. Pethood introduces neighbours. Favours are settled with credits, a social thank-you that can't be bought or cashed out, and whatever you arrange happens between you.

Can pet businesses and shelters join?

Yes. Groomers, pet shops, vets, trainers, walkers and pet-friendly cafés can get on the Pethood map, and shelters and rescues list animals for adoption for free. See the partners page.
