Walker profiles
Families see a real person, not a row in a list
Every walker gets a profile with a photo, a short bio, how long they've walked dogs, and ratings that only come from finished walks. Families know exactly who is coming to the door.

Job details
Every walk comes with everything the walker needs
Before the walk, the walker sees the dog, the quirks, the meds, the door and the route. After the walk, the family sees the GPS route and a photo report card. No guessing, no texts back and forth.

The difference
Marketplace apps vs DGWLKR
Big pet-sitting marketplaces are easy to join, but they keep a slice of every walk, forever. DGWLKR is your own business app for one flat monthly price.
Big pet-sitting marketplaces
- âKeep about 20% of every walk you do
- âAdd a booking fee on top for the family
- âThe clients belong to the app
- âYour name is buried in a list next to other walkers
- âThe more you work, the more they take
DGWLKR
- â$0 per walk. We never take a cut.
- âOne flat monthly price: $29, $49 or $89
- âNo booking fee for families. Card payments cost only the processor's own fee (2.9% + 30ÂĒ).
- âYour clients are yours. Your app never shows other walkers.
- âYour own app with your name, in the App Store
A quick example
A walker doing 40 walks a week at $25 brings in about $4,000 in a 4-week month.
~$800a month kept by a marketplace taking about 20%
$49a month for DGWLKR Team. $0 per walk.
Pricing
One small monthly price. That's it.

For families
Find a walker near you
A local directory where families find walkers by area. Each walker owns their listing, and every review comes from a family with a finished walk. A walker's own app and website never show this list, so no client gets sent to someone else.
Featured spots cost $10 a month. Each area has 3 at most, and they're always labeled. Everyone else is ranked by reviews and distance. Sample listings.
FAQ
Questions
Do you take a cut of my walks?
No. We take $0 per walk. You pay one flat monthly price (Solo $29, Team $49 or Pack $89) and no setup fee. That's it.
Can I get my own app in the App Store?
Yes, as an add-on: $499 one time plus $20 a month, with a free 30-minute call where we set it up with you. It's published under your business name, with your icon and colors. Apple asks that it come from your own Apple developer account ($99 a year, paid to Apple), and we help you set that up. Without the add-on, your families use the DGWLKR app, showing your name and logo.
Can I start before my own app is approved?
Yes. You and your families can use the DGWLKR app and website right away, with your business name and colors. Your own App Store app follows.
I already use other software. Can I switch?
Yes. Add your clients and dogs, or send us your client list through the support form and we'll help bring it over. Set up your schedule once and the walks repeat on their own.
How do payments work?
Families pay by card or bank in the app. Payments are handled by Stripe, and the money goes straight to your own bank account, paid out daily. We never hold your money and we take $0 per walk. The only cost is Stripe's own processing price, passed through with nothing added: card 2.9% + 30ÂĒ, bank 0.8% (max $5). Cash and check are free: just tap "Mark paid".
What about GPS and privacy?
You choose: GPS off, route only (families see it in the report card), or live. Location is only used during a walk. Door codes are stored encrypted. We don't sell data, show ads, or track anyone.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. There's no contract. Your data stays yours, and you can delete your account in the app.
Where does DGWLKR work?
Anywhere in the US. We're a Maryland company and started with walkers around Annapolis.
