Close2 App vs DOGSY

Close2 helps people at the same event or place connect without turning the moment into a public feed. Use Close2 to see nearby presence, join private event rooms, view profiles, send messages and stay in control with block, report, privacy and account deletion tools. For event hosts, Close2 supports QR/code access, branded event spaces and public-room reporting while keeping direct messages private.

DOGSY is the free Swiss platform for everything around your dog. Neighbours helping neighbours: find or offer dog care, free of charge or paid – DOGSY takes no commission. WHO IT IS FOR For anyone who has a dog or enjoys spending time with dogs. If you need support, you find it nearby. If you want to help, you offer what you can – voluntarily or for pay. You set your own hourly rate or flat fee. FIND AND OFFER CARE Dog walking, walks together, care at your home or at the sitter's, holiday care with overnight stays, dog taxi, short visits for feeding and checking in, errands for your dog and an emergency temporary home. You pick the service and the radius and arrange everything directly in the messenger. REQUESTS Describe what you need. Matching Dogsyaner nearby are notified automatically and get in touch with you. DOGSHARING A lasting sponsorship: you become a dog's godparent and regularly share walks and responsibility with the owner – always unpaid. DOGSYGRAM A full-screen feed of photos and short videos from the dog world. Like a post? Give it a dog paw and leave a comment. WALK TRACKING Route, distance, duration and pace via GPS, plus streaks, a weekly summary and a voluntary leaderboard. Your routes stay private. GUIDE Map and directory of dog-friendly places nearby: destinations and trails, restaurants and cafés, vets, dog schools and groomers – plus clinics with round-the-clock emergency service. Every place carries a paw rating from dog people. Missing a place? Add it yourself. EVENTS Dog meetups, puppy meetups, training and relaxed group walks in your region: accept, see the exact meeting point, coordinate in the event chat – or invite others to a meetup yourself. ALERTS FROM YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD Poison bait reports by municipality, reported by Dogsyaner and checked by the DOGSY team. And the missing-dog alert: if a dog runs off, the report reaches Dogsyaner in the area within seconds. DOG RECORD Vaccination record, chip number, allergies, vet contact and documents in one place, with reminders for vaccination, deworming and appointments. From it you create a read-only dog passport that you share, for a limited time, with a sitter, boarding kennel or vet. The record is visible only to you and your family. PACK & FAMILY Connect with dog friends in your neighbourhood and message them one to one or as a group. With the family profile, several people share ONE dog profile, each with their own login. MESSAGES A private messenger with voice and video calls. No other Dogsyaner sees your chats, and they are never analysed for advertising. ALSO INSIDE Articles about dogs, animal shelters and animal welfare, and dog-paw ratings after every service. DOGSYgram, Discover, Good Causes and Walks are modules: switch them on or off individually in the settings. FREE AND WITHOUT COMMISSION Signing up and using DOGSY is free. For paid services DOGSY keeps no share and no commission – payment is settled directly between you. DOGSY is financed through discreet advertising, shown on the basis of general criteria such as country and language. Personal data is neither analysed for this nor sold. DOGSY connects people; checking each other is the Dogsyaner's own responsibility. Private liability or dog-owner liability insurance is recommended. A project from St. Gallen, Switzerland. dogsy.ch
