How It Works For Dog Walkers

Walkers are able to make their own schedule, walking as little or as much as they’d like. The app offers a flat rate for walks, so there is no need to negotiate pricing with dog owners.

Once the walk is complete, you will write out a detailed report card with notes on how the walk went. Letting the owner know how the walk went is import, since in most cases you will never meet the owner face-to-face. You can also contact the owner through the app during the walk if you should have any questions.
