What sets us apart?

    Custom Route Blocking

    Keep your dog walking worry-free by customizing your dog’s route in advance. Owners can block off specific streets or areas on the map as a precaution—whether it’s a busy intersection or a yard with an aggressive dog. This ensures your dog walker follows the safest path for both themselves and your pet.

  • A computer screen with a notedbook and pencil by it showing completion of our SafePawz mandatory online training for sitters.

    Mandatory Training for Sitters

    All our sitters complete a mandatory online training session on pet safety and handling etiquette, ensuring only serious caretakers are part of our app. This commitment to learning helps us vet individuals who are genuinely invested in understanding pet behavior and providing the highest level of care, from handling emergencies to ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for your pet.

    Location Sharing for Safety

    Our live location-sharing feature prioritizes the safety and well-being of our dog walkers. At the start of each walk, a customized message is sent to trusted contacts, sharing the walker’s real-time location and notifying them when the walk begins. Contacts are also alerted when the walk has ended, providing an added layer of security and ensuring dog walkers feel supported and connected throughout every step.

  • A map on the SafePawz app that is tracking a dog walk and has the ETA for returning back with a timer going showing how much time has passed and how far in miles they have walked. There is an option to start routing back home on the SafePawz app.

    Secure Journey Home

    Getting back home on a dog walk has never been easier. Our app continuously calculates a live ETA, ensuring walkers stay on schedule. It also alerts them when they’ve reached the optimal point to start their return journey, helping them complete the walk exactly on time. With the most efficient and safe route automatically mapped back to the starting point, we provide peace of mind and a seamless end to every dog walking journey.

  • SafePawz app showing the weather throughout the day, giving updates by the hour and including wind, air quality, and the sun condition.

    Integrated Weather Insights

    Real-time weather updates are crucial because no two dog walks are the same. Our app keeps walkers prepared and owners informed with timely alerts about changing conditions, such as rain, extreme heat, or snow. This not only helps plan safer, more comfortable outings but also ensures pets receive the care they need under appropriate conditions. Additionally, weather details are logged in the pet’s report card, offering owners a complete picture of their pet's walk and showcasing the walker’s adaptability, which can lead to increased trust.

FAQs

  • We combine the convenience of a gig economy platform with the personal care and attention of a small business. Our focus on safety, training, and real-time updates for both sitters and pet owners ensures that every experience is positive, transparent, and trustworthy.

  • To start, we will offer dog walking and dog sitting, as well as cat sitting services. These services will form the core of our platform during the initial stage of our launch.

  • We require all sitters to complete a training session to ensure they are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary for providing safe, high-quality care. While we understand that this is a time commitment, we believe it’s a vital part of our vetting process to ensure that only dedicated and passionate individuals join our platform. The training covers important aspects of pet behavior, safety, and care, and the knowledge gained will benefit both the sitter and the pets they care for.

  • We take every step to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet. All our sitters undergo background checks, complete in-depth pet training, and we provide real-time updates on walks, including potty breaks and other important details. Our platform also includes features like location sharing and emergency protocols, ensuring both pets and sitters are always protected. We also highly encourage meet and greets before to ensure everyone is comfortable with the arrangement.

  • We prioritize the safety of our sitters just as much as the pets.

  • We want to hear from you! As we continue developing the platform, we’re committed to incorporating feedback from our community.

  • We are currently finalizing the costs associated with joining our platform and completing the onboarding process. Our goal is to strike a balance between offering a high-quality experience for both sitters and pet owners while keeping our costs to join as reasonable as possible. Additionally, we do not cap tips, so sitters retain the full amount they earn in gratuities. While we aim to keep commissions as competitive as possible, we must also ensure the platform remains sustainable. Once our pricing structure is finalized, we will provide clear and transparent details.
