User reviews

They’ll stab you in the back.

I’m heartbroken to be writing this review but I have to warn fellow caregivers. Please make sure your account is secure, and that absolutely no one has access to it. I have been banned and put under review for something I haven’t done. And I have emailed and pleaded for help and I received a “figure it out” response. I am just sobbing over the fact that Wag! does not care about the people who provided the services on their app. As we are the reason they have money to generate. I’ve been told I can’t request walks until November- or I have to pay $300 to reinstate my account. Once again- for something I didn’t do. Please be aware. They don’t care about us. We’re just cogs in the machines. I’m so heartbroken because I’ve met so many wonderful people and amazing fur babies on this app. I’m going to miss them all. It’s just such a devastating situation without any light at the end of the tunnel, and I hope to save any caregivers from experiencing the same heartbreak I am.

Terrible App

The report function is useless and only gives a few options to report a bad post. No option to report scammers. App is full of scammers “looking for remote workers”. Reporting posts does absolutely nothing. This app shows wag’s lack of care for the caregiver. 40% being taken but encouraging people to charge $7-$10 for a walk (no gas mileage reimbursement) is ridiculous. And encouraging your users to do overnights and 24 visits for $25 is ridiculous (don’t forget the cut they take). Not enough options for owners to communicate pet needs.

Services

Wag is a good way to earn money on the side. However, if you are providing services outside of the summer, the price range caregivers are given sometimes barely covers the gas fee let alone equal compensation for your work. I.e the price ranges need to be extended.

Coco-sweet girl

I give the owners soo much credit because this girl is soo well behaved and soo loved I would reschedule my agenda to watch her again 💜

Poor Functionality

The ability to reset a password or change any profile details made it near to impossible for me to use the app at all
