🐾 About ParkBuddies 🐾
Austria's Most Comprehensive Dog Owner Social Platform
Where Every Dog's Social Calendar Comes to Life!
Meet Our Chief Inspiration Officer
Hi there! I'm Ylvie, a charming Havanese with a passion for making friends! At just nine months old, I've already mastered the art of bringing joy to Vienna's dog zones. And yes, I'm the furry mastermind behind parkbuddies.app! 🐶

The Pawblem We Solved 🤔
During our adventures in Vienna's dog zones, we noticed something interesting: every park had its "regulars" - both humans and their four-legged friends who frequently visited. But here's the catch - everyone came at different times! Some groups had WhatsApp chats, others didn't, and coordinating playdates was becoming quite the puzzle.
Our Tail-wagging Solution 💡
That's when we had our "eureka" moment! Why not create a comprehensive social platform where all dog parents could connect, share experiences, and coordinate meetups? What started as a simple idea grew into Austria's most feature-rich dog owner community!
Our Promise 🤝
ParkBuddies was born from love for our four-legged friends and will always remain free. We believe every dog deserves a chance to make friends and enjoy their park time to the fullest!
