💚 Independently funded

Help us build the future of dog walking

Paws Near Me is bootstrapped by a solo founder building the platform dog owners have been waiting for. Every contribution — big or small — helps us reach more parks, more cities, and more dogs.

💚 Support the Project

Not another walk tracker.

Paws Near Me is a real-time safety and community intelligence layer built around the places where dogs and their owners actually live their lives.

We're building the product that reactive dog owners check before every single walk. The one that surfaces broken glass before your dog steps on it. The one that tells you there are 4 friendly dogs at your local park right now.

Paws Near Me is also becoming a uniquely valuable dataset around canine behaviour, park usage, and shared urban spaces. Over time, anonymised activity and interaction data could support research across behavioural science, urban planning, animal welfare, mobility, and smart cities. If you're interested in investing, collaborating, or exploring research applications of the platform, we'd love to connect.
