the highlights

Creating Profiles

We focused heavily on personalization by introducing tailored questionnaires that customize matches for both the pet and the owner. Each user creates separate profiles for themselves and their pet, ensuring more accurate and meaningful connections.

matching the pets

To guide users, we added pop-ups upon first entering the matching page, highlighting key features of the app. Inspired by modern dating apps, a 'Like' and 'Dislike' system allows users to easily interact with potential matches, while clear compatibility scores help increase the chances of finding the perfect playmate.

Chatting and Setting Up the Playdate

Once matched, users can chat directly with each other to plan their playdate, supported by a CTA button to quickly set up the meeting. Integrated calendar and time selection tools make scheduling playdates smooth and effortless.
