FetchaDate is Where Pet Lovers Meet! The place to connect for friends, pet playdates, and especially a date for you! DATING, FRIENDS, PET PLAYDATES What we do at FetchaDate is eliminate the hurdle to who you’re looking for. We are the dating app where singles meet over what they already love: dogs, cats, and maybe even exotic pets. Those who trust FetchaDate are people who treat their pets as family so you don’t have to worry about them not being a “pet person”. Now, we can’t guarantee every person on here loves animals, but chances are they wouldn’t be here if they didn’t. NO PET, NO PROBLEM We understand people may be between pets at the moment so ‘No Pet, No Problem!’ Choose from a variety of virtual pets that represent your lifestyle like a bird, fish, turtle, horse, pig, or even a snake! HERE’S HOW IT WORKS - YOU GET A WINGPET! You can tell a lot about a person through their pet and that helps make better matches. With FetchaDate, your “WingPet” starts things off making your introduction. Your pet’s picture is seen first, and your pet gives clues about your interests. Why is the pet seen first? We feel this leads to more success, because who wouldn’t swipe right on a cute pet? And, Fetchadate creates a better experience by bonding over common ground. CHANGING THE RULES TO FIND YOUR MATCH Searching offers a few options: 1. See a pet you like and swipe right. And, if their owner swipes right on you, find them in your “Matches” tab. Swiped right but not a match yet? They will appear in your “fav’d” tab. OR 2. See a pet and scroll up to get clues about the owner before swiping left or right. OR 3. Need to see the person before swiping? Tap on the ? to see who’s behind that pet and select a heart for yes or X to keep fetching. PROFILES: FETCH - MATCH - DATE In FetchaDate, it’s quick to create your free profile including your values, interests, and personality. A profile also consists of name, age, location, occupation, and motto. And, you get to make a profile for your real or virtual pet. FREE TO USE PLUS UPGRADES FetchaDate is free to download, and create a profile with a limit on swipes, and chat!
