## How PAIR works

1. Build your pet's profile: photos, breed, age, energy and personality, plus what you're looking for.
2. Discover nearby matches: filter by species, breed, age, distance and intent. Best-fit companions come first, with a reason for each match.
3. Connect safely: chat with other owners in the app and decide what to share before agreeing on a first meetup.

## Features

- Compatibility scoring: one clear score with the reasons behind it.
- Local discovery: companions within a radius the owner chooses.
- Preference filters: nice-to-haves and hard deal-breakers.
- Rich pet profiles, health records (vaccination status), verified owners, private-by-default location, safe in-app messaging, meetups and local events.

## FAQ

### What is PAIR?

PAIR is a pet matchmaking platform from KAIRO Technologies. It helps owners find compatible companions for their animals, from playdates and walking buddies to bonded partners for social species.

### Is PAIR only for dogs?

No. We're launching with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and small pets like guinea pigs and rats. Horses, reptiles and other companions are on the roadmap.

### Can I use PAIR just for playdates?

Yes. You choose what you're looking for (playdates, walking buddies, a bonding partner or simply friendship), and PAIR only shows matches for that.

### How does matching work?

You build a profile for your pet and set your preferences. PAIR compares species, energy, size, sociability and personality with pets nearby, respects your deal-breakers, and explains every match.

### How are owners verified?

Owners go through a verification step before they can message or meet others. Verified profiles carry a badge so you know who you're talking to.

### Is my personal data safe?

Yes. Other owners only see an approximate distance, never your address, and your contact details stay private unless you choose to share them.

### How does PAIR handle animal welfare?

Some pairings simply aren't safe. PAIR flags predator–prey combinations and solitary species, and encourages supervised, gradual introductions.
