Community Guidelines

WalkBuddie is a place for real connection. These guidelines exist to keep the community warm, safe, and welcoming for everyone.

Be respectful and kind

Treat every walker the way you'd want to be treated. No harassment, hate speech, bullying, or unkind messages of any kind.

Use real, recent photos of yourself

Your main photo should be a clear, recent photo of your face. No photos of other people, celebrities, or your dog as your primary photo.

No nudity or explicit content

All photos and messages must be appropriate for a public community space. Explicit content of any kind is not permitted.

No harassment

Sending unwanted messages, continuing to contact someone who has asked you to stop, or pressuring anyone is grounds for removal.

Meet in public places

Always arrange first walks in public, well-lit locations. Never ask someone for their home address or share yours with someone you have just met.

This is an 18+ community

WalkBuddie is exclusively for adults aged 18 and older. We verify age during signup.

Violations may result in removal

Accounts found violating these guidelines may be suspended or permanently removed. We take every report seriously and act on them.
