The best pet dating apps in 2026, compared honestly

Updated September 15, 2026. We make one of these, so read the others' pages too.

Attune

Attune is a pet-first dating app for people with dogs and cats, made by Attune LLC in Overland Park, Kansas. Every card leads with the pet and the human is the small circle. Matches come with a pet-to-pet compatibility score and plain reasons. Two people can lock in and talk only to each other, for free. People without a pet join by saying what they are open to. Launching on iOS in 2026, Kansas City first.

Pick it if: you want the pet to lead, a compatibility score you can read, and a way to go exclusive inside the app.

Dig

Dig, "the dog person's dating app", launched in 2019 and is still listed on the app stores with updates in 2026. It is dog-only: profiles are about you and your dog, and matching is on lifestyle and dog preferences. It has the longest track record in the category.

Pick it if: you want the most established dog-only pool and a familiar swipe-style app. Attune vs Dig.

Tindog

Tindog is a swipe app for dog owners built by Holidog, launched in 2015. Profiles are mostly about the dog, matches are by location, and it doubles as a playdate finder. Free to download on iOS and Android.

Pick it if: you mainly want dog playdates with a chance of a date, and you are outside the US. Attune vs Tindog.

Fetch a Date

Fetch a Date is a dating site and app for "dog lovers and cat people" that shows your pet first. It has been around for years and is small.

Pick it if: you want a web-based option today and do not need compatibility scoring. Attune vs Fetch a Date.

Pawmates

Pawmates is a dog meetup and social app: match, chat and meet dogs and owners nearby for playdates, with dating as a side effect rather than the point.

Pick it if: you want playdates and dog friends more than a date. Attune vs Pawmates.
