Wag! gives me great peace of mind while I am at work. I get to the minute potty information and a picture of his smile at the end of walk. Thank you Wag!

Great app for hiring a dog walker! I love that I can track where my dog is, how many miles she walked, when she potties, etc. She comes back very happy!

Brandon A

This is the best thing for my dog and I. He loves getting to meet new people and going on long walks. I'm not worried about him not getting enough exercise!

All the Wag! walks I’ve gotten have been awesome. Sweet and caring people who obviously love dogs!

What a great experience! I'm sure Vienna was happy to go outside and stretch her legs.

I've been using Wag! for about 6 months and love the convenience of being able to have someone take care of my pup when I'm gone.

Is Wag! right for my dog?

The Wag! matchmaking process is designed to find your perfect match. On Wag! you can find and book a daycare sitter with experience caring for puppies, older dogs, disabled dogs, dogs that require medication, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who need lots of playtime. Being upfront about any special requirements is the best way to find the perfect match for your dog.

What does it cost?

Daycare stays start at $39 per day and include potty breaks, feeding and playtime with video and text message updates throughout the day. You'll also have the option of having your local daycare sitter pick-up and drop-off your dog for $15.

Where will my dog be staying?

Your dog will stay at your local daycare sitter's house.

How does Wag! evaluate daycare sitters?

Every daycare sitter undergoes a thorough vetting process - which includes dog handling, safety tests, phone screening, and background checks - many of our daycare sitters have worked as veterinary technicians, shelter volunteers and the majority have been lifelong dog owners and caretakers. 95% of daycare stays result in a perfect 5-star review.

How do I pay for the service?

Wag! accepts all major credit cards, including VISA, MasterCard and American Express. Never pay by cash or check as this makes your booking ineligible for premium insurance and support.

When will I be charged for service?

Your card is charged after the service is complete. Wag! will hold onto the funds and release payment to your walker or daycare sitter within 48 hours of the service being completed.
