Map & Play
A dogs-only map layer for low-pressure nearby play.
The v1 map/play experience helps dog parents show availability, understand current activity at map places, watch places they care about, and join public meetup plans.
Check-ins
Choose how visible you want to be.
A visible check-in can show that your dog is around and open to play. A private check-in gives you a personal marker without showing availability to others.
Use visible check-ins when your dog is available for nearby play.
Use private check-ins when you want the place context without public visibility.
Keep location and community judgment part of every real-world meetup choice.
Dogs here now
Understand current dog activity at map places.
The map can surface dogs here now around places with check-ins and meetups, so a casual park visit can become less guesswork.
See map places with current check-in activity.
Use dogs-here-now presence as a lightweight signal, not a guarantee.
Keep the v1 play layer focused on dogs.
Place alerts
Watch places you care about.
Place alert preferences help owners keep up with check-ins and meetup activity around selected map places.
Set preferences for check-in updates around watched places.
Set preferences for meetup updates around watched places.
Use place watching to avoid constantly reopening the map.
Public meetups
Plan play without making it a big direct ask.
Public meetups let someone pick a place, choose a time, select which dogs are going, and let others join through the app.
Create scheduled public meetup plans around a map place.
Join a meetup with selected dogs when the plan fits.
Use visible availability and public plans to keep dog play lower pressure.
