# WalksClub

> WalksClub connects dog owners with trusted local companions who want dog time without full-time ownership. Members find dogs in their community for walks, hikes, play dates, and patio hangs, and share the joy and health benefits of dogs across the community.

WalksClub is a community-based dog sharing platform. Dog owners publish their dog and choose who spends time with them. Companions are vetted neighbours who want regular dog time without owning a dog of their own. Every conversation starts in-app before any meetup, identity verification is available, and members agree to safety guidelines covering meet-and-greets, leash use, emergency contacts, and insurance expectations.
