    Pretty good dog walking company to work for

    Mar 3, 2023 - Dog Walker 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Allows for lots of flexibility - you can submit for as few or as many walks as you’d like, and most of the walk requests are one-off’s rather than recurring. Pay isn’t bad. The app is pretty intuitive and easy to use. Everything is done through the app. It also lets you see some info about a dog before you request the walk. You can also take a break and come back to Wag at a later date, if your schedule changes.

    Cons

    Since most of the requests are one-off’s rather than recurring, there will be times when fewer requests come through.

    Pros

    I have been extremely happy with Wag! and the opportunity they are providing for dog walkers and pet parents to come together safely to provide an on-demand pet care service like no other. I have been with Wag! for the past three years and have enjoyed every moment and every dog/cat as well. It has also been a privelage to be a part of their lives.

    Cons

    Expenses such as automobile and gas are an obstacle at times

    Pros

    You can spend time with dogs and get paid to exercise.

    Cons

    Dog behavior varies widely, it's very challenging to get consistent bookings as there are so many other walkers in the area, most walks are booked last minute.
