Sponsor a Card

For dog businesses that are part of their local dog community

LeashMates is where local dog owners find each other. A sponsor card puts your business in front of them while they're doing exactly that — looking for dog people in your area. It's a community partnership rather than an ad buy, and it's only open to businesses that are genuinely part of the dog world.

🃏 What a sponsor card is

  • 🐾 A full card in the feed. As people swipe through local dog owners, your card appears among them — your name, your photos, a short description, and a link to your site.
  • 📍 Only near you. You tell us your location and how far around it you want to reach, and your card is shown to dog owners inside that area. Nobody three counties away sees it.
  • 📅 For the dates you choose. Run it around a launch, a season, an open day, or leave it running. We set a start and end date together.
  • 👀 Seen by everyone local. Sponsor cards show to all users in your area, including paying members — they aren't hidden behind a subscription.

🐕 Who it's for

Sponsor cards are for businesses that dog owners would actually be glad to find. If dogs aren't part of what you do, this isn't the right fit — and we'd rather say so upfront than waste your time.

Dog trades

Groomers, vets, trainers, walkers, daycare and boarding, pet shops.

Dog-welcoming places

Cafés, pubs, shops and campsites where dogs are genuinely welcome.

Rescues & non-profits

Local rescues, shelters, dog charities and community groups.

Dog-adjacent services

Dog photographers, dog-friendly stays, insurance, mobile washing, treat bakers.

🤝 What it costs

There's no rate card. We're more interested in working out something that helps us both — most often that's you pointing your dog-owning customers our way, and us running your card for free in return.

Things partners have offered:

  • 💬 Mentioning us to your clients. A word from a business dog owners already trust goes a long way.
  • 📄 Something on display. A card, flyer or window sticker where your dog-owning customers will see it.
  • 📱 A mention to your followers. A post or story, if you already post to a local audience.
  • 💡 Something else entirely. If you've got an idea that suits your business better, tell us — we're open to it.

📊 What this isn't

This isn't an ad network. There are no click reports or campaign dashboards, and we're not building them — if that's what you need, an ad platform will serve you better.

What we offer is simpler: local dog owners see your name while they're looking for dog people.
