Happy Dog Walking – Know your dog is safe & happy while you're away
Live GPS walks, photo check-ins, and medication reminders, all in one app. Invite the walker you already trust — a professional, a neighbor, or a friend — and follow every step from your phone. Trusted by dog owners in the US, UK & Australia. Free to start, no card required, cancel anytime.
Features
-
Live GPS tracking – watch every walk unfold on the map in real time: route, pace, and distance, updated second by second.
-
Photo & note check-ins – your walker sends snapshots and short notes from the trail, so you always know how the walk is going.
-
Medication reminders – set a schedule and your walker confirms each dose, timestamped, so nothing slips through the cracks.
-
You choose who walks your dog – invite a walker you already trust. They only see what you share, and every walk is logged with photos and GPS.
-
Start & finish alerts – get a ping the moment a walk begins and a full summary the instant it wraps up.
-
Health & activity log – bathroom breaks, water, energy levels: a tidy record builds up over time, ready to share with your vet.
How it works
-
Add your dog – create a profile with photos, routine, medications, and the little things that keep your dog comfortable.
-
Invite your walker – send an invite link to the person you trust with your dog. They accept and they're connected. No platform-wide vetting process.
-
Follow along live – track the route on the map, see check-in photos, and get a full summary the moment the walk ends.
Dog people, real peace of mind
I can see exactly where my retriever is and that she got her afternoon meds. The peace of mind during long shifts is worth every cent.

The live map and photo updates are brilliant. I've tried three apps and this is the only one that feels built for people who actually worry about their dog.

Setting up a walk takes ten seconds and the activity log has even helped our vet spot a pattern. Couldn't recommend it more.

Explore Happy Dog Walking
See exactly when a walk starts, watch the route build in real time, and get a full summary — distance, duration, route map, and photos — when it ends.
Add medications, dosage, and schedule to your dog's profile. Your walker gets a reminder at the right time and confirms each dose with a timestamp — a shareable log for your vet.
Free for walkers invited by an owner. Build trust automatically with live GPS and photo check-ins, keep every dog's care straight, and look professional — no fees, no subscriptions.
Rover and Wag are marketplaces that match you with a random assigned walker and charge 20-40% commission per walk. Happy Dog Walking is a coordination tool for owners who already have a trusted walker: $9/month flat instead of ~$186-240/month in commission on 20 walks, plus medication reminders that Rover and Wag don't offer.
Free plan with 2 dogs and 8 walk requests a month, or Premium at $9/month for unlimited dogs, requests, photo check-ins, and medication reminders. Cancel anytime.
