Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Is SidePaws free to use?

Yes! SidePaws is free to download and use. The free plan includes core matching and filters, including 10 km and 15 km radius options. Pro adds unlimited swipes, extended radius up to 200 km, and priority matching.

How do the filters work?

You can filter potential matches by size, breed, age range (min/max), gender, energy level, and location radius. Free users can choose 10 km or 15 km, while Pro users can expand radius up to 200 km.

What information do I need to create a profile?

To create a dog profile, you'll need your dog's name, a description of their personality, breed, age, gender, size, and energy level. You'll also need to upload 3 photos of your dog and 1 selfie with you (the owner) to verify authenticity.

How does profile verification work?

Every dog profile is manually reviewed by our team before it goes live. We check that all required information is provided, photos are appropriate, and the owner selfie matches. This ensures a safe, authentic community.

Can I add multiple dogs to my account?

Yes. You can manage multiple dogs in one account: up to 3 dogs on the free plan and up to 6 dogs on Pro. Each dog has its own profile, photos, preferences, and matches, and you can switch between them anytime.

Is it safe to meet dogs from the app?

Safety is our priority. All profiles are human-verified, and we recommend meeting in public dog parks first. Our real-time chat lets you get to know owners before meeting, and you can always report any concerns.

Is SidePaws available in my area?

SidePaws is available worldwide. Use radius filters to find dogs near you, starting with 10/15 km on free, or up to 200 km on Pro for broader discovery.
