About HAPO

Building a community where dog owners help each other out — safely, simply, and locally

Who We Are

A Community Built on Trust

HAPO aims to create a community where dog owners help each other out — safely, simply, and locally.

We believe caring for dogs shouldn't always mean paying strangers or relying on busy services. Instead, HAPO connects local dog owners who want to share support, whether that's walking, sitting, or just lending a helping paw.

At HAPO, every arrangement should be mutually beneficial — built on trust, respect, and fairness between people and their pets.

The goal is simple: to make life easier for owners while keeping dogs happy, healthy, and loved.

Why Dog Ownership Can Be Tough

We understand the challenges dog owners face every day

Time Crunch

Busy work schedules, family commitments, or sudden emergencies can leave your dog lonely or missing walks.

Financial Strain

Professional dog walkers and pet sitters can be expensive, adding stress to tight budgets.

Changing Circumstances

People adopt dogs with the best intentions, but jobs, health, or living situations change, making care harder.

Guilt & Worry

Many owners feel bad leaving their dogs alone but can't always afford or find reliable help.

Our Solution

HAPO is all about ensuring dogs get the love and exercise they need, no matter what life throws at their owners. By sharing the responsibility, we create a kinder, more supportive world for pets and their people.
