Everything in one place
Built for the whole dog-owning life.
Matched on temperament, planned in one thread
Profiles carry the traits that actually predict a good playdate, so discovery surfaces a wrestler for your wrestler and a gentle sniffer for your gentle sniffer — then the plan comes together in one place.
- Temperament matchingEnergy, play style, confidence and sociability — ranked by who’s genuinely nearby.
- Playdates that get scheduledPropose, counter, confirm. Leash and supervision preferences travel with the invite.
- Recurring playdatesTurn a great match into a standing weekly date — skip or pause a week without starting over.
- Owners with a track recordTrust built from completed playdates and peer ratings on communication, punctuality and supervision.
If your dog goes missing, the neighborhood starts looking
Flag your dog as lost and WagAround turns the people already walking your streets into a search party — with sightings that add up to somewhere to look, not a flood of guesses.
- Lost modeMembers nearby see your dog’s photo and last-seen spot the moment you flag them lost.
- Sightings that add upNeighbors report sightings with photos; credible reports cluster into likely search areas.
- Recovery tagsA scannable collar tag. Whoever finds your dog can scan it — no app needed — and reach the recovery contact you chose to share.
- Location stays protectedA shared lost-dog link never exposes where your dog was seen — details stay inside the app.
The same dogs and owners, again and again
See who’s a regular at your local spots and turn one-off run-ins into a routine — the difference between an app and an actual neighborhood.
- Local regularsFamiliar faces at the parks and paths you already use.
- Groups & eventsOpen or approval-only groups, with pack walks and meetups, RSVPs and dog check-ins.
- Live walksShare a walk in progress with friends, or make it public so neighbors can tag along.
- Walk weatherA dog-focused good-walk or bad-walk read on heat, rain and cold.
Every record in one place — and ready in an emergency
Vaccines, vet contacts and care notes stay current, and the nearest clinic is never more than a glance away — at home or traveling.
- Health records & remindersVaccines with expiry reminders, vet contacts, food and meds notes.
- Scoped share linksA full packet for the vet, a lighter one for the sitter. No account to open; expires or revoke anytime.
- Vets near youA mapped, distance-sorted directory with hours and contact in a tap.
- 24/7 emergency vetsThe nearest ER hospitals with directions and phone numbers up front.

Approximate distance
Discovery shows roughly how far away a dog is — never where its owner lives.

Questions
Good to know.
When is WagAround launching?
We’re opening gradually, neighborhood by neighborhood. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you as soon as your area opens.
Which phones does it work on?
WagAround is coming to both iPhone and Android.
Is it free?
Yes — WagAround is free to join and use. An optional WagAround Plus subscription adds extras like browsing beyond your own neighborhood and exporting health records, and Organizer Pro is for people who run groups and events.
Who can join?
Any dog owner 18 or older.
How is my location used?
Other members only ever see an approximate distance, never your address. Live walk sharing is only on while you’re walking, and you choose whether friends or everyone can see it.
How do recovery tags work?
Attach a WagAround tag to your dog’s collar. Anyone who finds your dog can scan it with their phone camera — no app or account needed. If your dog is marked lost, they’ll see the recovery contact you chose to share.
Who can see my dog’s health records?
Only you, until you create a share link. Each link is scoped to its purpose — say, a full packet for a vet or feeding notes for a sitter — and stops working when it expires or you revoke it.
