About Us

At Wag! we're crazy about pets and the people who love them, and everything we do is intended to bring them joy and keep them safe. Our company was founded in 2015 and born from a love of dogs and an entrepreneurial spirit to help make pet parenthood just a little bit easier, so dogs and their humans can share a life full of joyful moments.

We invented on-demand dog walking by connecting an already passionate community of local dog walkers with pet parents. Launching in Los Angeles in 2015, Wag! services are now available in 50 states and more than 4,600 cities nationwide. In 2020, we officially expanded our services to cats. The pet caregivers are vetted and pass a robust screening process — and our services are bonded and insured. We know your pets are members of your family and taking care of them is the highest honor you can give the walkers and sitters providing services on the Wag! platform.

In light of COVID-19, this role is temporarily Work From Home (WFH) but will be based out of our Bay Area, California office permanently when we head back into the office.
