DoggyMatch is a way to connect with other owners on our safe and friendly platform to find the perfect playdate for your dog. Using our DoggyMatch algorithm, you'll find the perfect dog. Sign up and sign in to match with other users and send them a chat to plan a play date.
DoggyMatch is a safe to use platform. Users of DoggyMatch and its services will be able to view dogs and contact owners if the dogs are a match. Use of non-dog images is not allowed. We have three types of users. Each user type serves its own role in the DoggyMatch ecosystem which allows for our services to run. Our users are either Dog Owners, Moderators, or Admin. The Dog Owner is in charge of uploading pictures of their dog and giving it a description so that they can find other dogs to match with theirs. Moderators can view Dog Profiles and see specific ones more often based on their preferences. Moderators can also report pages for inappropriate content which the Admin can choose to remove. The admin see the most reported to least reported accounts which means that they can see accounts which have not yet been reported if they have already reviewed all which have been reported.
DoggyMatch has 3 specific features which make it stand out! The first and most overlooked is preferencing. The preferences you set will allow you to find the perfect playdate for your dog. As a moderator, you can set preferences so that specific breeds or types of dogs will show up more often for you. These preferences will show up most often and slowly work towards least preferernced. Admin see most reported down to least reported but must have access to seeing all acounts so that they can report ones which may have gone unlooked. Not just anybody can be an admin so they must go through a verification process.
This app is for Dog Owners and Dog Lovers! Anybody who cares about dogs will easily love this new app that allows them to see dogs so easily! DoggyMatch is one of a kind. There is no other app available to match dogs for playdates. This exclusivity has allowed us to give users the first look at what a playdate experience should be.

Signing Up as a Dog Owner Dog Owners are given a few pages of selections and entries. You'll be asked to provide basic user information to generate a profile like all user types. If you signify yourself as an owner, we'll ask for some more information about you for safety purposes when meeting with other owners. These can be retrieved by contacting DoggyMatch Customer Service. Then we will ask for information about your dog. Fill out as much as you can or want, these will influence the preferences of others and allow you to be prioritized on their Doggy-MatchFinder. Finally, set your preferences so you can find the right dogs for your lonely pup.
Signing Up as a Viewer
Dog lover or dog hater, who doesn't love seeing cute pups! Why scroll on social media when you can see cute dogs and all of their information! Provide basic account information (this will be used to Sign In again if you use another device or Sign Out) and select Viewer as your account type. When you do this, you won't be asked to provide any other information, yours is only used for account privacy and security. You can see all of the dogs on DoggyMatch and since all viewers can see all owners and their information, they can report accounts for innapropriate content with our quick REPORT button.
Signing Up as an Admin Contact DoggyMatch to be added to our Administrative Service. These users are given a small financial incentive to remove accounts for inappropriate content. Once a moderator has reported it, the Admin can remove the account completely. It will be on a temporary ban after being reported until it is either taken down or misreported.
The Match feature allows for owners to find dogs compatible with theirs. They can view other profiles and if both users decide that dog will be a match, they will be able to chat.
Matching is the most essential function of the app and is what makes a DoggyMatch a DoggyMatch!
