Updates and Issues

A good app for part time work and schedule setting. Using since 2023 and noticed certain updates that are helpful for not only owners but also walkers. Still don’t like how much the app takes from walkers from actual booking prices to instant pay fees. May try to limit amount of sittings requests which is new. Also won’t let you request walks that may ‘interfere’ with what is already on your schedule.

I paid, added everything i needed to my profile

and yet i’ve walked / baby sat 0 dogs . i’ve had this app for months, on and off id try to book with anyone a reasonable distance away. i don’t understand what im doing wrong i have plenty experience with dogs. and ive never even been messaged back ever. at this point your better off promoting yourself on social media without this app.🤦🏻‍♀️ BIG waste of time.

No worth it

I wish I had done more research before signing up for this app.

I paid a one-time fee of $49.99 to become a dog walker. After completing my application and gaining access to the available job postings, I was disappointed to find that there were very few opportunities in my area. Most of the available jobs were approximately 5–6 miles away, and the pay did not seem reasonable considering the distance and expenses involved.

For example, one 30-minute dog-walking job located about 6 miles away pays $9.95. After the app’s 40% fee and approximately $6 in train fare, I would only be left with around $3 for the job.

I take responsibility for not doing enough research before signing up, but I wanted to share my experience so others can make an informed decision before paying the fee. Please check the availability of jobs in your area and carefully consider the fees and transportation costs before signing up.

I hope this review helps someone avoid losing money the way I did.

They should just charge a anual fee and let the client charge their own price like care.com . Wag charge you $49.99 to use the app and then take 40% of what the customer pays which is not fair we should be able to charge what we want and not the other way around, because if the charge the customer 50 dollars for a half hour walk we only get paid $9.99 when we are the one who’s doing all the work Wag is wack 😡
