MATCHED — TUE 6:30 AM · CASTLE ISLAND
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps, about one lap
of Castle Island
The whole thing is built to get you from signing up to actually running — 2.2 miles, one dog, no fuss.
MI 0.0
Pick your side
Sign up as a runner or a dog owner. A passkey and about sixty seconds — no password.
MI 0.7
Match nearby
Owners browse runners, runners browse dogs — filtered by neighborhood, pace, and energy level.
MI 1.5
Plan the run
Chat in the app, pick a route, and set the rules: distance, pace, and where you meet.
MI 2.2
Run
Meet under the trees, clip the leash, go. Save the buddies you like for next week.
A fair trade,
both ways
FOR RUNNERS
- A steady training partner with boundless enthusiasm and zero excuses
- Dog time without the vet bills or the no-pets lease
- Pick dogs by pace, size, and neighborhood
FOR DOG OWNERS
- High-energy breeds need real cardio — 60+ minutes a day, not a stroll
- Verified runners in your neighborhood, on your schedule
- You set pace caps, distance limits, and heat rules for your dog
FROM THE RUN LOG
Happy runners, tired dogs
TUE 6:12 AM · CASTLE ISLAND · 4.4 MI
“Tank pulls me through mile five like it’s nothing. Best tempo partner in Southie — and he never checks his watch.”
THU 7:40 PM · ESPLANADE · 6.0 MI
“My border collie needs six miles a day. I do not. Biscuit has three regular runners now, and I have my evenings back.”
SAT 8:05 AM · JAMAICA POND · 3.1 MI
“My lease says no dogs. Now I get the dog, the dog gets the miles, and Juno’s owner gets a Saturday morning off.”
SAFETY
Built for handing
over the leash
Trusting a stranger with your dog — or meeting one for a run — is the whole product. So it’s built into every step.
Verified profiles
Every runner and owner verifies their identity before their first match.
Chat before you meet
Message in the app until you’re comfortable. Share only what you choose.
First runs in public parks
Meetups start at busy Boston parks and trailheads — never a private address.
Owners set the run rules
Pace caps, distance limits, and hot-weather rules travel with every dog.
