Find dog meetups and playdates near you.
K9 is the app for meeting the dog people around you, set up playdates, join neighborhood walks, and find the park regulars worth knowing.
Free in any browser. iPhone app now in beta.
Making friends as an adult is hard. Having a dog makes it easy, a walk becomes a conversation, a park becomes a group of regulars, a playdate becomes a standing plan. K9 is built to make that happen on purpose instead of by luck.
Open the app and you'll see the dogs and owners near you, the meetups happening this week, and the groups worth joining. Request a playdate, RSVP to a walk, or start your own. It's the same community whether you just moved to town or you've walked the same loop for years.
Meetups near you
See dog walks, park hangs, and playdates happening close by, and RSVP in a tap. Or start your own and invite the pack.
Playdates that stick
Match with dogs who get along, trade a few messages, and lock in a time. The good playdates become a weekly thing.
Your people, nearby
Follow the regulars, join breed and neighborhood groups, and swap advice with people who actually get it.
Why a dog meetup app beats hoping you bump into someone
The best dog friendships usually start by accident at the same park at the same time. K9 just removes the accident. You can see who's around, who's free, and who your dog already gets along with, so a one-off hello turns into a standing walk.
Everything is built to get you and your dog into the real world with other people, not to keep you scrolling. No clout, no vanity metrics, just more friends and fewer lonely afternoons for both of you.
Good to know
What is K9?
K9 is a social app built entirely for dogs and their people. You share your dog, meet owners nearby, plan real-world meetups and playdates, find trusted local dog services, and shop from boutique sellers, all in one community that's only dogs.
How do I find dog meetups near me?
Create your dog's profile, allow location, and K9 shows the walks, park meetups, and playdates happening close to you. You can RSVP to any of them or create your own and invite dogs nearby.
Is K9 free?
Yes. K9 is free to download and use for dog owners. It's currently in beta on iPhone through TestFlight, with Android on the way.
Do I need a specific breed or a young dog?
No. Every dog is welcome, puppies, seniors, mutts, purebreds, three-legged champions, all of them. You can join breed-specific or neighborhood groups if you want, but you never have to.
Is it safe to meet other dog owners through the app?
K9 is an 18+ community with reporting, blocking, and active moderation. Meet in public places like parks and dog runs for the first few hangs, same as you would with any new friend.
Start free and find your pack.
No download needed. Open K9 in your browser, make your dog's profile, and the meetups near you are waiting.
