Alicia is always punctual and gives the full walk. Our pup loves her and is always excited when we tell Pumpkin:Alicia is coming! All wag walkers have been reliable and professional.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Diane! We're so happy you've used Wag! to connect with Alicia and that she's been consistently punctual and dedicated to giving Pumpkin her full walk every time.

There's truly nothing better than a pup getting excited at the mention of their walker's name—Pumpkin clearly knows a good thing when she sees it! To make rebooking with Alicia even easier, be sure to add her to your Preferred Caregivers (just tap the heart next to her profile).

It also means a lot to hear that all of the Wag! walkers you've connected with have been reliable and professional. Thank you for being part of the Wag! Community—we look forward to many more tail-wagging walks ahead for Pumpkin!

Grace has been an exceptional dog sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her communication is always clear, timely, and thoughtful, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. She is incredibly kind and attentive with my puppies, and it’s obvious that she genuinely cares about their well-being.

Grace is consistently on time, reliable, and adaptable to whatever is needed. She goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She has been especially sweet with my pup, Puff, treating him with so much patience and affection.

If you’re looking for someone who is not only dependable but also truly compassionate, Grace is the perfect choice. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their pets.

Thank you for your heartfelt review, Jasmin! We're so glad you've used Wag! to connect with Grace and that she's been everything you could hope for in a dog sitter—communicative, reliable, adaptable, and so genuinely caring with your pups.

It clearly means a lot that Grace has been especially sweet with Puff, treating him with so much patience and affection—those little extras truly make all the difference. Knowing you have complete peace of mind while you're away is exactly what great care should feel like. To make rebooking with Grace even easier, be sure to add her to your Preferred Caregivers (just tap the heart next to her profile).

Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback and for recommending Grace—we look forward to continuing to support you, Puff, and the rest of your pack!

Elizabeth has been great

Elizabeth has been great. She has been willing to work around my schedule. She is very prompt and reliable. She is athletic and can easily handle our big dogs. She loves the dogs and the dogs love her. She is very pleasant and never complains. I will definitely ask for her again.

Thank you for your wonderful review, James! We're so glad you used Wag! to help connect you with Elizabeth and that she's been such a fantastic Caregiver—prompt, reliable, flexible with your schedule, and more than ready to keep up with your big dogs!

It's clear there's a real bond there—when pups love their Caregiver as much as she loves them, that's the best kind of match. To make rebooking with Elizabeth easy, be sure to add her to your Preferred Caregivers (just tap the heart next to her profile).

Thank you for choosing Wag! for your pups' care—we look forward to continuing to support you and your crew!

Application Fee Gets You Nothing But Hope

After a year on the app and initially jumping through hoops to submit my impressive resume, pictures, descripitons, and dog-handling history, I finally pulled the plug. Wag billed a $50 application fee, and then they push to have you join "premium" on top of it. Early on, notifications would come through for dog walking. Every time I accepted a job, a message would pop up with "oops, offer a lower price." I entertained the system several times by putting in a lower bid. Still nothing. Who is going to drive over 2 miles and do a 1/2 hour walk for $7 or less?! I've now gone 4 months solid with zero notifications, and I live in a city with more dogs than humans, as well as tons of out-of-towners that bring their dogs on vacation. Wag is a joke and a rip off with insane commission charges. Avoid it.

We truly feel so lucky to have found Mariah through this app! She is everything you could hope for in a caregiver. Kind, patient, attentive, and incredibly reliable. From the moment she stepped in, we felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such loving hands.

Mariah went above and beyond during her time with them, making sure they were not only cared for but genuinely happy and comfortable. It is clear she has a natural connection with animals. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and that says everything.

If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mariah is the one. We cannot recommend her enough! 🐾💛

Thank you for the wonderful review, Dennis and Rachel! We know it takes a lot of trust to have someone care for dogs with unique care and routines—especially a senior pup with back problems—so it means a lot to us that Wag! could help match you with exactly the right Caregivers for your dogs’ needs.

We appreciate your recommendation, and please give both pups an extra scratch from us! We look forward to continuing to support your family with your pet care needs.

I love the dog walker

I love the dog walker. (Esther)
She was very nice. She and Lucy got along very well. I'm just sad that Lucy has gotten a new home. Better for her,now she has alot of land to run on. I was very impressed with Wag and would use them again and recommend them to other people.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Sandra! We’re so happy to hear Esther was so kind and that she and Lucy truly bonded on their walks together.

We understand it can be bittersweet to say goodbye—even when it’s to a new home. Lucy is lucky to have had you caring for her, and it’s great to know she now has lots of land to run on and explore.

We appreciate your kind words about Wag!, and thank you for your recommendation—we’ll be here anytime you need us.

The issue is with their app

The issue is with their app. First time using and my dogwalker canceled. Unfortunately I can't see the message because if they cancel, regardless if they leave a message, you can't see it because it's gone. So at this point, this is a company that shouldn't be trusted if a real emergency happens. Use at your own risk.

Wag App a bit of a Learning Curve

Using the Wag app for small extra income and to just make an animal's day with a really good walk. The app does require a good bit of interaction . The staff did resolve an issue I had with a complete GPS drop. Rose helped me via the email support.

Kimberly, we’re sorry to hear the app stalled at checkout—especially when it prevented you from booking care you needed promptly for the next day. This isn’t the experience we want for pet parents, and the Wag! app is designed to support on-demand bookings (same day/next day) as well as scheduling in advance.

If you haven’t already, please reach out to our Support Team via the virtual chat at support.wagwalking.com (or through Help in the Wag! app) so we can better understand what you were seeing at checkout and look into it. We hope to connect so there aren’t any issues booking future services when you need them.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
