Go Fetch is the all-in-one lifestyle app for dog parents. AI meal plans, instant dog-care guidance, trip planning, local meetups and a community of dog lovers — everything your pup needs, finally in one place. MEETUPS Find dog meetups happening near you, browse them in Discover or on a calendar, and join in a couple of taps. Check the full date and time, pick which of your dogs is coming, and see who else is going before you commit — we'll remind you two hours before it starts, and once it does, tap "I'm Here!" to check in. Keep upcoming and past meetups in one place. Meetups at venues that don't admit dogs are clearly marked, so you always know when to leave your pup at home. Share a meetup with a friend, leave one, or hide the ones that aren't for you. You can also add your own personal events to the calendar. BARKMATCH Meet dog owners you'd actually get along with. Choose what you're here for — romance, friendship or both — answer a few key questions to start seeing matches, and add more any time for better ones. Preview your card exactly as others will see it, see what the other person is looking for before you connect, check how far away someone is and which meetups you already have in common, then invite them straight to a meetup you've joined. CHAT Message your connections one-to-one or in groups, search across your conversations and jump straight to any message, and share photos and locations. AI DIET PLANNER Personalized weekly meal plans tailored to your dog's breed, age, weight, allergies, and health conditions. Choose how to source meals — Fresh/DIY, Meal Delivery, or Store-Bought — and pick a budget that fits — Economy, Standard, or Premium. Plans are general suggestions, so check any diet change with your vet. AI CARE GUIDANCE Ask about behaviour, training, travel or everyday care and get a clear answer in seconds. Vet Assistant for dog-care questions, Trip Concierge for travelling with your dog, and Local Guide for what to do nearby. DOG-FRIENDLY PLACES Browse parks, cafes, trails, groomers and vets near you, read reviews from other dog owners, and add your own. Filter by distance to keep results close to home, and find GoFetch partner venues picked by our team at the top of every category. YOUR PUP'S PROFILE Keep your dog's photos, breed, size and weight in one profile, and add or remove a pup whenever your family changes. Can't find your breed? Request it and we'll let you know once it's added. Store health records and set medication reminders so nothing gets missed. Go Fetch is built for real life with a dog — the walk, the meal, the vet visit, and the meetup in the park.
