By the end of the relationship, he didn\u2019t want her sweet Cavapoo in his apartment or he would put towels down on the couch so the dog didn\u2019t touch anything.

Sisters Leigh and Casey knew that dog-lovers everywhere, like Casey,&nbsp;were anxiously waiting for this platform to exist so they could find a compatible, dog-loving partner of their dreams. They launched the app for iphones in selected cities in 2018 and nationally for iphones and Androids on Valentine\u2019s Day 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-pale-pink-color has-css-opacity has-pale-pink-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market Understanding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When they started off, the most striking research to them was that <a aria-label=\"55% of single adults in the US are pet owners (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/healthypets.mercola.com\/sites\/healthypets\/archive\/2013\/06\/05\/single-pet-ownership.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">55% of single adults in the US are pet owners<\/a>, with dogs leading the way &#8211; especially among millennials.
