What is PetMatch?

PetMatch is a pet matching app in Turkey: dog and cat owners discover nearby pets, swipe to match and chat in realtime. Discovery, chat, map, events and a private health diary live in one app. It is not human dating; under-18 accounts are refused.

Is PetMatch free?

Yes. Discover, match and chat are free. Unlimited likes, Who Liked Me and Super Likes sit behind optional PetMatch Premium, billed through the App Store or Google Play.

How do dog owners meet on PetMatch?

Add your dog’s photo, swipe nearby cards, chat after a mutual like. You can suggest a park or café from the map. Location shown to others is approximate.

Does it work for cat owners?

Yes. Use it as a cat matching app: set purpose to play, a home visit or a quiet café. Uploaded photos must contain a pet; selfies alone are rejected.

Is my exact location shown?

No. Discovery and the map show an approximate position. Exact location appears only if you send it in chat or turn on live location, which is off by default and ends after 45 minutes.

How do vaccine reminders work?

Log a vaccine, vet visit or medication in the health diary. A localized push is sent as the next date nears. Records stay owner-private; matches cannot see the diary.

Can I delete my account?

Yes. In-app: Profile → Delete Account, or email support@petmatchapp.social from your registered address. Deletion cannot be undone; cancel store subscriptions separately.

Where does PetMatch work?

Anywhere in Turkey for users who grant location. First focus is Istanbul and other large cities; the radius filter can shrink to a neighbourhood.

Is PetMatch a dating app?

No. PetMatch is not human dating or flirting. Dog and cat owners discover nearby pet profiles; chat opens only after a mutual like. Store category is Lifestyle / Social. Audience is 18+.

Can I use a photo of a person?

No. Uploads are checked for a pet. A human selfie alone is refused on the server and not stored. An owner may appear in the background if the pet is in the frame.

Where can I download PetMatch?

PetMatch is live and free on the App Store for iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/petmatch/id6775404036 (or search “PetMatch” in the App Store). The Android version is about to go live on Google Play.

Can I find a mate for my dog or cat on PetMatch?

Yes. Set your pet’s purpose to “mating” and filter Discover for dogs and cats with the same purpose. Chat still opens only after a mutual like. See a vet and have vaccinations up to date first; selling animals is not allowed.

Can I post a pet for adoption?

Yes. Post for free in the “Adoption & Lost” community in the Feed, and find adoption events under Nearby. Selling animals for money is not accepted.
