Long Description (150 words)

Go Rocco is a mobile app launching in the UK in 2026 that's reimagining dog walk safety. The app allows dog owners to see other dogs within 50 metres and their temperament indicators - whether they're friendly, nervous, in training, or reactive.

Beyond the live map, Go Rocco includes a solo walker check-in feature for personal safety, a directory of dog-friendly venues, and a digital pet passport for health records. The app is built with privacy at its core: location sharing is strictly limited to 50 metres, only other verified dog owners can see you, and users can block anyone who makes them uncomfortable - which also prevents that person from seeing them.

Founded by dog owners who understand the daily challenges of walks, Go Rocco aims to reduce anxiety for both dogs and their humans while building a supportive community of responsible pet owners.
