Question 1

How does live GPS dog walk tracking work?

Accepted Answer

When your walker starts a walk and consents to location sharing, you see their live position on a map updated every 20 seconds. The route trail builds in real time. Location sharing stops the moment the walk ends.

Question 2

Can I use Happy Dog Walking with my own dog walker?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Happy Dog Walking is built for owners who already have a walker they trust. You invite them directly with a link; they don't need to apply or be vetted by the platform.

Question 3

Does Happy Dog Walking have medication reminders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can set a medication schedule for your dog and your walker receives reminders to give each dose during the visit. They confirm each dose with a timestamp, creating a log you can share with your vet.

Question 4

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free plan includes up to 2 dogs and 8 walk requests per month with live GPS tracking. Premium is $9 per month and includes unlimited dogs, unlimited walks, photo check-ins, and medication reminders.

Question 5

What is the difference between Happy Dog Walking and Rover or Wag?

Accepted Answer

Rover and Wag are marketplaces that match you with available walkers and charge 20-40% commission per walk. Happy Dog Walking is a coordination tool for owners who already have a trusted walker — you invite them directly, pay $9/month flat, and both of you use the app to track walks, share photos, and confirm medications.
