Our story

Love is not only about shared interests.

It is about finding someone who understands the life you already live—and for millions of us, that life begins with muddy paws, early walks and a sofa that was never really ours.

The life you should never have to explain away.

For dog owners, love comes with routines, responsibilities and an extraordinary bond. It affects where you live, how you travel, when you leave and who feels welcome at home.

Dating With Your Dog exists because the best relationships do not ask you to choose between a partner and your dog. They welcome both.

“Meet someone who’ll fall in love with both of you.”

Warm rather than trendy.

Our ambition

The brand ambition is to become the world’s largest community where love begins with a shared lead. Until independent evidence supports that scale, we describe it as an ambition—not a verified market claim.

No fictional founder

This story belongs to every person who has ever said, “I cannot leave yet because of the dog”, selected a holiday around a pet policy, or quietly decided that somebody who merely tolerated dogs was not the right match.

The promise: the dog is included from the beginning, without allowing the dating experience to become childish, gimmicky or unsafe.
