DO NOT USE - Read entirety

SO new to this but needed a sitter for our dog. Had to sisgn up and put in payment information first. then put in dates with more information explaining what we needed over a three day period we are going away and need help. I had picked will pick person myself. THey came up with several people but it was obvious that the app did not explain all needed. I closed it and then today got confirmations on the three days for only partial of what we requested. Had to download phone app.... could not speak with anyone about a $1.00 hold on account and had to go further to cancel each day separately which it stated was confirmed and that they would arrive on those days for only an 800 am walk and not everything we stated needed. I had to delete the account and would NEVER recommend an app that AUTOMATICally books appointments on an inquiry ONLY! No customer support to get things straightened out is a no go sign of a loser/ fraud type of company. STAY AWAY

Caregivers are good, customer service, meh

The Pet walkers I'm working with are great. The app is glitchy and inconsistent in being helpful. Customer service is a bunch of virtual instructions that are frustrating when trying to do basic things.

Super simple process

Super simple process, pup always returns tired and happy. Every walker has been kinda and cheerful. It really is a lifesaver as I'm a bit on the disabled side, but my dog is not! :)

Literally the Worst App in History

I am 80 yeas old. I have used thousands of Apps in my life starting back when Computers were a novelty. I have come across many many ill designed and non intuitive websites/apps etc. I am not using hyperbole and I am not exaggerating when I say that Wag's App is the absolute worst App I have ever come across. That a company so dependent on an App for their business would have such a screwed up, impossible to navigate, confusing, site is almost incomprehensible to me.

Terrible

Terrible! App automatically selected and booked a sitter for me. Cant talk with the sitters unless you book or pay a fee. don't get to choose or select the sitter, just sit and wait until one within 20 miles says yes? also how do you check compatibility. very bad experience. also not an intuitive app at all. Give your CC info to set up an account and then just book someone you didn't select?

My puppy Charlie loves Kathrine and WAG

Wag brought us in touch with a wonderful walker by the name of Kathrine.

I use this service for my 10 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Charlie, 3 times a week when he comes to my office.

Kathrine is kind, trustworthy and Charlie absolutely loves her.

I have had nothing but a great experience with Wag and our new friend Kathrine.
