Proceed with Caution

These Dog walking apps are easy and convenient for dog parents, but how can dog owners be so sure about the quality of care their Dogs are receiving in their absence?

When you use a dog walking app service, you’re handing your four-legged family member to a stranger who might be a well-intentioned dog lover but most likely would not have the requisite education and training to keep your dog safe.
