Frequently asked
- How do I get verified?
- During onboarding you'll upload a recent vet record showing current Rabies and DHPP/Distemper vaccinations. Our scanner reads the dates automatically; if anything is unclear, a human reviewer approves or denies within 24 hours.
- Why do you require phone verification?
- A real phone number deters fake accounts and keeps the community accountable. We use Twilio Verify and never share your number with other users.
- How does location work?
- Location is opt-in. When you turn it on we only store an approximate distance (within 0.5 miles) to nearby frens — never your exact coordinates. You can turn it off any time from your profile.
- What happens after a plan?
- The day after a scheduled plan we'll send both owners a quick safety check-in. If anyone reports a problem, the other account is placed on hold for admin review.
- How do I report or block someone?
- Open the dog's profile and tap the safety menu. Reporting someone automatically blocks them and notifies our moderators.
- How do I delete my account?
- Go to Profile → Notification preferences → Delete account, or visit /delete-account. Your profile, dogs, photos, messages, and plans are permanently removed.
- I can switch between multiple dogs — how?
- Tap the dog avatar in the top bar of any screen to switch the active dog. Each dog has its own profile, matches, and playdates.
