When I worked there you made your own schedule and had to keep track of how many clients you take on. When I worked there we were very understaffed and there were a lot of dogs you had to take because there weren’t enough people. When it was super hot out you still had to walk dog and it was very exhausting. So much to the point were all I did was walk dogs, maybe eat, and sleep. They also don’t take out taxes so you really have to keep track of your money so if you needed to pay back taxes you can. You are an independent contractor so you dont really interact with other people besides the schedulers through text.

Dog walking with Waggy Walkys is great! A typical day includes checking email/app to see my schedule, driving to the clients homes and playing with the dogs! I love this job bc I truly LOVE DOGS! I have about 6 dogs I walk daily and have grown an attachment to my furry friends. The pay is pretty good, considering the line of work. I make between 2k-3k/month. This is a very independent job as well. 

I work in the medical field and was in dire need of some stress relief. Waggy Walkys allows me to walk happy dogs during my free time, and offers the OPTION to pick up extra shifts/dogs.  
If this is to be your sole source of income, get a 2nd job. If you live in a fairly dense area and would like some stress free side work, much recommended. 

Pay is less than average and you do a lot of unpaid work - making your own schedule and route, meeting clients, emailing - for managers that will not hesitate to put you in a dangerous situation - icy roads, aggressive dogs. 

Pay is awful and they don’t know how to route you so that you are not wasting gas because they don’t pay you enough money to cover gas expenses. I was fired because I had a flat tire and could not make my last stop of the day. 

This is a great workplace in terms of culture. Everyone is friendly. I get up in the morning and don't dread going to work. Management is very involved. The most enjoyable part of the job is the culture.

I enjoy waking the dogs! I love animals and it just makes me happy to meet different doggies give them love and attention while in their walks!  I haven't had to make far commutes each client is about 5-15min away. 

Won’t ever get a full route. Pay is much lower than other companies in the area. You won’t feel supported by team or management, whenever I called the office it was like they didn’t even know me

This job is great for part time walks and sits but for full time it’s not the best based on hours. Also I recommend having a car because sometimes they’ll take you out of your metro
