My experience has overall been good

My experience has overall been good. Have a few people I totally love who come on a regular basis basis I’ve had 1 scare he didn’t walk dogs didn’t turn on gps I had to find my dogs with apple, and dogs where afraid of him. Scared he hit my dogs. Only other problem I find is many times hard to find someone. I have waited from one day to next and couldn’t get a walker. So time response wise not always very good. In stage 4 cancer sometimes it’s hard for me to go, but sometimes I have no choice with no response back for hours, 5 , 6 hours and I end up having to go and very very difficult for me. Yes a little overpriced sometimes but over all I’m happy with most of the walkers who come and get to build a relationship and trust

Horrible

Horrible! The walkers always cancel at the very last minute. I had a walk scheduled for 11am and the walkers canceled it at 11:10! And yesterday a different walkers did the same thing. They leave your lights on and I’ve even had someone lose the keys to my apartment.

Happy longtime customer…

I have used WAG to walk two dogs many times for over 5 years. All the walkers are excellent. My dogs have fun. I typically use the ASAP service and rarely have to wait long. The videos, photos and active map they provide makes the experience even better. I am so happy I found WAG.

I scheduled an in home sitter for our dog about 2 months ago. This was a Friday to Friday dog sitting. We are set to go on our vacation in 5 days. Wag sends me a notification today that our sitter has to reschedule. No way to get in touch with Wag. No instructions on what to do. The condo we are renting doesn't allow pets and it's nonrefundable.

I truly love using Wag

I truly love using Wag! because it provides such great peace of mind. While I have other regular sitters, the app is a reliable lifesaver for those times when my usual options aren't available—I can always find someone I need.
The app itself is reliable and makes scheduling, payment, and viewing walk reports easy. It was simple to set up my profile and get started. I especially appreciate the willingness of the walkers to do meet-and-greets; one walker even showed up at 5:30 AM just to meet Rico! That level of dedication is huge.
The true highlight is the quality of the walkers Wag! connects you with. Gillian, Rebecca, Rebecca, Janine, Karen, and many more have been absolutely fantastic. I have a large breed (a Boxer), and I love that I can find sitters who are experienced with and genuinely enjoy spending time with powerful, large dogs. It's clear they are professionals who do this full-time—they’re all naturals with Rico and truly cares about his well-being.
As a dog owner, I often feel nervous about entrusting someone else with my dog, but they immediately put me at ease. They provide the peace of mind I need to know Rico is in great hands.
If you are looking for a reliable dog walking service with professional, caring individuals who can help you fill gaps in your schedule and handle large breeds, I highly recommend Wag! and specifically encourage you to look for walkers with Ricos friends level of skill.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed and heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that Wag! provides you with peace of mind and reliability when you need it most. It's wonderful to know that the app's features make scheduling and managing services easy for you. We're particularly glad to hear about the dedicated Caregivers you’ve connected with, who go above and beyond in their willingness to conduct early morning meet-and-greets and who have the experience and enthusiasm needed to provide Ricco the care he needs; especially given his size. We look forward to continuing to support you and Rico with exceptional care!

It is a great tool to find pet care when we last minute decide to travel. After more than 50 Wag walks, not a single complaint. The walkers are super prompt and the animals love them.

Melissa Stander is the Best Dog CaretakerI

Melissa Stander is a #1 dog person who took care of my dog Bella Rose. When Bella and I went to meet Melissa, they both went
to each other. Kisses from Bella and smiles
and laughs from Melissa. They both bonded
immediately. We were so happy with Melissa as she gave the best walks and runs
with Bella. Melissa is so well suited for taking care of dogs. She gives them 100%
of her attention. She is a natural dog lover.
We will have her again. Melissa is a beautiful
fit for pets. She radiates with love for pets.
