Dog owners greeting each other and their dogs in a city park at first light

Nobody walks alone here.

Where the dog people of your city meet: group walks, breed communities, and a city that shows up if a dog goes missing.

What happens here

Four things that happen when dog people find each other.

A small group of regulars with coffee and their dogs in a rainy park

The morning crowd.

The same eight people every day at seven. The dogs' names known, the humans' names half-known. Your city's community is where they said hello first.

The Saturday walk.

Someone picks a meeting point, sets a size cap and a note on who fits. "Needs space" is respected. Nobody minds the dog at the back on a long line.

Your breed's people.

The dachshund meet. The greyhound Sunday. The rescue-mutt club. The breed is the only thing they have in common, and it turns out to be enough.

The day the city shows up.

One tap alerts the members nearby and opens a public page anyone can share, no account needed. Whoever finds your dog reaches you through a relay, never your number.

Your city

Every group walk started with one dog.

Pick your city, the only location Amidipet ever keeps. If the dog people are already here, you'll see them. If you're first, you're first: start the Saturday walk, and the next person who joins finds you. It works in every city. It's alive where dog people are.

What you bring back

Their story, kept.

Walks, moments, milestones, on your dog's own profile. Record the walk, keep the streak going, post the first swim. The people who know your dog are the first to react.

Why we built this

A city of strangers became people who know his name.

I built Amidipet for Tintin, my golden retriever, and for the people we kept meeting at the park: the ones who knew his name before they knew mine. Amidipet is where that happens on purpose, in any city. It is members only, it is free, and no algorithm decides who your friends are. Your dog does.

Dog owners are five times more likely to get to know the people in their neighbourhood through their pet. Wood et al., 2015.

Our promises

What we will never do.

A city, not a coordinate
GPS runs only while you record a walk. Never in the background, never kept as a map of your days.
Private means private
Messages are never scanned. No ads in your conversations or in your dog's story.
Gated by default
No public feed. Only the pages you choose to broadcast, like a lost-dog alert, are public.
Humans, not algorithms
Communities and walks are chosen by people. Nothing decides who your friends are.
Free for what matters
Walks, alerts, messages, communities: free for everyone. Clearly labelled sponsored cards in the feed are the whole model.

Questions

Is anyone in my city yet?

Maybe, maybe not yet. Amidipet works in every city and is alive where dog people are. Pick yours: if a community exists you'll see it; if not, start it. Every group walk here started with one dog, and the next person who joins finds you.

Is it free?

Yes, for everyone, for good. Walks, alerts, messages and communities have no paywall. Clearly labelled sponsored cards in the feed pay for the whole thing. Never your data, never your messages.

Do you track my location?

No. The only place we keep is the city you picked from a list. GPS runs while you record a walk and stops the moment you do. Routes stay private unless you share one.

My dog needs space. Is this for us?

Yes. A "needs space" note on your dog's profile tells members before you meet, and walk hosts set size caps and notes on who fits. Reactive, shy, recovering or elderly dogs are welcome at their own distance.

Who can see what I post?

Members, and only where you posted it: your dog's story to members, a community post to that community, a message to the person you sent it to. Nothing is public unless you choose to broadcast it, like a lost-dog alert page.

Do I need the app?

Amidipet works fully in your browser, same account. The app is where recording a walk, the home-screen widget and lost-dog alerts live, so it is the better home. iPhone and Android.

The walk is better with people who know their name.
