Dog Owners

Leash & Doggie Bags: We encourage you to put your dog’s leash and potty bags in a visible and easily accessible place to ensure your walker can find them. If you have another place you prefer to keep your pup’s supplies, jot it down in the Notes section of the app so your walker will know exactly where to find it.

Treats! If your pup has special treats that you like to give them, you can specify where your walker can find them, and how many to give your pup.

Tips for Lockboxes:

Wag! sends lockboxes to pet parents who request them. Maintaining the lockbox is the pet parent’s responsibility. Here are some tips:

• When possible, please limit direct exposure to the elements
• Place lockbox where it’s protected from damage
• Cover lockbox in cold weather to keep it from freezing shut
• Please don’t put your only set of house keys in the lockbox

Please use the lockbox at your own risk. Wag! is not liable for any loss, claim or damage of any kind incurred as a result of your use of the lockbox.

I want to change my lockbox code

When changing your lockbox code, please make sure to update the lockbox code in the app. Failing to update your code will cause future walks to be delayed, as the walker won’t be able to enter your home.

My lockbox doesn't fit on my door

Many pet parents choose to place their lockbox on a gate or alternate secure fixture outside.

We recommend that you add any notes about your dog and their personality in the Notes section of your Profile. It’s really helpful to note if your dog tends to pull on the leash when they walk or are shy when meeting new people! The more information you can give your walker, the better! This way your walker will be able to cater the walk specifically to your pup, just like you would.
