About

PetiFit

Features

Petifit helps you find a dog to walk with in your area. Instead of another evening in front of a screen, you head out with your dog and meet other dog owners in real life. The map shows dogs within your chosen radius, from 5 to 50 km. For safety, we never show anyone's exact location, only an approximate area. Every dog has its own personality. In your dog's profile you choose how it likes to meet other dogs: a parallel walk, a classic greeting or off-leash play. You can filter dogs by temperament and meeting style, so you meet the ones that make the walk enjoyable for both dogs. Also in Petifit: - chat with owners you want to meet up with - walk recording: route, time, distance and pace - share your walks to Instagram as a story or a post - PetiTip: short tips from our team and dog experts Petifit is free and ad-free. We build Petifit as a family in Poznań, Poland. Tell us what to improve: contact@petifit.com
