About the Client
Being a pet owner for years now, our client saw a growing tendency of people to spend more time with the animals post-Covid to burst their stress levels. This proved to be a triggering point to create an app that could bring dog owners and dog lovers or dog sitters on the same platform to create a dog-sharing community.
The client came to us with this inspirational idea and we helped her design and build a unique dog-sharing mobile app. Social Paws is a social app of its own kind that builds up the dog-sharing community and connects like-minded people, unlike other apps.
Project Objectives
It was to ideate, plan, design, and build a digital solution that helps to create a growing community to facilitate dog-sharing within the neighborhoods. A lot of dog care apps are in the market, however, we wanted to create Social Paw with unique features that align the unique ideas of our client and meet the needs of the app users.
The Social Paws app was aimed at making dog-sharing simple, easier, and more accessible than ever.
The Challenge
This was an ultimate experience as the idea was completely raw yet brilliant. Cohesive brainstorming sessions were held to figure out a strategic roadmap and build the app architecture that aligns the features and expectations. To materialize this raw idea required sheer industry experience and skills.
Kudos to our business experts, a custom dog-sharing app platform was ideated that also took our client by surprise as the app was set to scale up initial client ideas.
The Solution
The in-house mobile team decided along with the client to build this app using React Native framework for maximum accessibility. The app users are prompted to join two teams based on what they are: Dog Owners or Dog lovers. The dog owners can join Team Paws if they are interested to find someone nearby to take care of their dogs. Dog lovers can join Team Social to look for the breeds based on their preferences to go for a walk or take care.
Our React Native developers implemented a match-making algorithm that helps Team Paws to find the right people who can take care of their dogs. Likewise, it helps Team Social to connect with the owners of the breeds based on their liking.
Highlights
- Dogs listing and management
- Matches management
- Live chat between matched users
- Reviews & ratings to both users – Team social and Team paw
- Report and block either of the users
- Social login using Gmail, Facebook, and Apple ID
- On-boarding questionnaires for both dog sitters and dog owners to get perfect matches
- Advanced search to access details of the nearest dogs or dog sitters

Results
A lot of love was shown towards it and the whole idea got appreciated. Within the first quarter of the launch, the app saw a rise in the dog-sharing community (Team Paws and Team Social) by 200%. The app was used to build community and relationships to facilitate people to meet and socialize for a better cause. This is what makes it different from the other apps.
We got the best feedback from our client and planning for future projects together.
