About Paw Cities

The guide to dog-friendly places, events, and community — built by dog lovers, for dog lovers.

What We Do

Paw Cities helps dog owners discover dog-friendly places, events, and community in 9 cities around the world:

  • Atlanta
  • Barcelona
  • Geneva
  • London
  • Los Angeles
  • New York City
  • Paris
  • Sydney
  • Tokyo

Our guide covers roughly 600 hand-verified dog-friendly establishments — parks, restaurants, cafes, hotels, beaches, vets, groomers, and shops — each with the dog-specific details that actually matter: water bowls, off-leash areas, dog menus, and patios.

Events, Verified Daily

Our live events calendar is verified every day, so when you show up to a pup-friendly market, meetup, or yappy hour, it's actually happening.

A Community, Not Just a Directory

Create a free profile for your dog, check in at your favorite spots, write reviews, save favorites, follow other dogs, and form packs — our word for dog friendships. It's all free.

On the ground in every city, our City Ambassadors sniff out new places, keep listings honest, and welcome new members to the pack.

Meet Marley & Buster

Two dogs guide everything we make.

Marley

A cream-white cockapoo. The thoughtful one — he reads the reviews twice before picking a patio.

Buster

A golden-honey mixed breed. The adventurer — first to the beach, first in the water.

From the Founder

Paw Cities was founded by Eric Silverstein, a dog lover who kept wishing a guide like this existed — so he built it. Every listing, event, and feature starts with the same question: would this make a day out with your dog better?
