About Us

FindDogWalker connects dog owners with vetted local walkers and sitters. Learn about our mission, how we screen walkers and why we built a fairer pet-care marketplace.

Our story

Local care beats anonymous apps

FindDogWalker started with a simple frustration: finding someone you can genuinely trust with your dog shouldn't depend on luck, a flyer at the coffee shop or a faceless app that sends a different stranger every day.

So we built a marketplace around neighbors. Walkers live near the dogs they care for, set their own prices and schedules, and build real relationships with the families they work with. Owners see honest profiles, real-time availability and reviews that can only come from completed bookings.

  • People first. Every walker application is reviewed by a person, not just an algorithm.
  • Fair to walkers. Walkers set their own prices and keep the large majority of every booking.
  • Honest by design. Reviews only come from completed bookings. No paid placements disguised as ratings.
How it works

From search to wagging tail in three steps

Search your neighborhood

Enter your ZIP code to see verified walkers nearby, with prices, services and reviews from completed bookings.

Pick a time that works

Choose a service, a date and an open time slot from the walker's real calendar. Message them first if you like.

Relax — we've got the rest

Pay securely when you book. Your walker confirms, checks in and out, and is only paid once the job is done.

Trust & safety

Peace of mind is built in, not bolted on

Handing over your keys and your best friend is a big deal. Every part of FindDogWalker is designed to make that decision easier.

How we keep dogs safe

Every walker reviewed

Walkers upload a photo ID and consent to a background check. A real person reviews each application before it goes live.

Payments held securely

You pay when you book. The walker is credited only after the service is completed — declines are refunded automatically.

Private messaging

Talk to walkers through on-platform messaging, so your phone number and address stay private until you're ready.

Reviews you can trust

Only owners with a completed booking can leave a review, and walkers can reply publicly.
