Designed for dog people
Real screenshots. Real features. Really free.
We've all been there.
You're walking your dog off-lead. They're having the time of their life. Then you spot another dog in the distance - on a lead.
Your heart sinks. Is that dog friendly? Nervous? Reactive? You start the awkward dance. Squinting to read body language. Waving your arms. Trying to make eye contact with the owner. Shouting "IS HE FRIENDLY?" across the park while your dog bounds towards them.
Sometimes it's fine. Sometimes it's not. And those "not fine" moments? They can mean injuries. Vet bills. Trauma for dogs and owners alike. All because we had no way of knowing.
What if you could just... know?
Go Rocco shows you the temperament of nearby dogs before you're close enough for things to go wrong. Set your own dog's profile, see others on the map, and make informed decisions.
Friendly
Social and approachable - happy to play and safe to approach. Let them say hello!
Cautious
May be shy or nervous around other dogs. Approach slowly and let them set the pace.
Protective
Loyal but may be territorial. Always ask the owner before approaching.
Reactive
Needs space and distance. Please keep your dog away and give them room.
Training
Learning social skills - be patient and give them space to practise.
In Heat
Give extra space and avoid close contact. Keep your dog at a distance.
How it works
Three simple steps to safer walks
Set up your dog
Add your dog's name, breed, and temperament. Be honest - it helps everyone stay safe.
Start your walk
Open the app and you'll appear on the map to other dog owners nearby. Go Rocco users within 20m can see you (100m with Alpha Pack) - and you can block anyone at any time (blocking is mutual: you won't see them and they won't see you).
Know before you meet
See approaching dogs' temperaments at a glance. Make informed decisions. Avoid incidents.

Got questions?
Here are the ones we get asked most
Is Go Rocco really free?
Yes! GPS walk tracking, the live temperament map, lost pet alerts, SOS, social feed, discovering dog-friendly places, and achievements are all completely free. The optional Alpha Pack upgrade (£2.99/month) adds premium features like Ask Rocco AI, extended detection range, and multi-pet support.
Is Go Rocco available on Android?
Yes! Go Rocco is available on both iOS and Android. Download it from the App Store or Google Play.
How does the temperament map work?
When you set your dog's temperament (friendly, cautious, protective, reactive, training, or in heat), other nearby Go Rocco users can see it on the map. You see theirs too - so you know whether to approach or give space, before you're close enough for things to go wrong. All locations use a 50-metre fuzzy radius to protect privacy.
Is my location data safe?
Absolutely. We never share your exact location - the map uses a 50-metre fuzzy radius so no one can pinpoint where you are. Your data is encrypted, stored securely, and we comply fully with UK GDPR. Read our Privacy Policy for the full details.
