People Dating Websites Pets Online Services Love Owners

Many Americans "are turning to" (are beginning to use) the internet for "matchmaking services" (help in finding romantic partners). These online dating websites "match" (put two people together) people based on their personality, interests, education, and other characteristics. Some sites are "general" (not specific; made for everyone), but other sites are "targeted" (aimed) at specific groups of people, such as people of a particular religion or people with a certain type of career.

Some online dating services are targeted at "pet" (an animal that lives in one's home for fun and companionship) owners. Only people who love pets create accounts on those sites, and they describe their pets in their "profile" (information about a person). That way, they can be sure that any "potential" (possible) dating partners will love them and their pets. They don't want to fall in love with someone on another website "only to find out that" (and then be disappointed by) he or she is allergic to the pet or doesn't like animals. Some of these websites for pet owners include MustLovePets.com, PetPeopleMeet.com, DateMyPet.com, and others.

Other online dating services are even for the pets themselves - not just for the owners! The pet owners who "sign up" (create an account) on these websites are looking for other pet owners who have common interests and similar types of pets. These people want to introduce their pets to each other. The users of these websites may "arrange" (schedule; organize) "play dates" (opportunities to play together) for their pets, or "exchange" (trade) "pet-sitting" (caring for an animal) services while they are out of town. Depending on the particular website, the people themselves may or may not be looking for dates with other humans.
