Needs work
This app has never been intuitive or been good about thinking about the obvious things that walkers want/need. However, it has gotten much better than it was a few years ago. I would like to be able to set different mile radiuses for walking and boarding for my notifications. For example, I would like notifications of walks within 1 mile but boardings within 10 miles. Also, I consistently get notifications for bookings that are over the 10 mile radius I have set: seems obvious that this shouldn’t happen. There should be a way for NYC walkers to not see walks from NJ, thinking of it in terms of miles doesn’t work here. Just because it’s technically within 10 miles doesn’t mean I’m going to figure out how to talk public transit to a different state. Also when you book a boarding, your ability to see the start and end time goes away, so unless you preemptively screenshot everything you request you’re screwed. It should be mandatory for owners to list the age of their dog.

Minor Technical difficulties
I would love it if in the app after you press the “I’ve arrived” icon if we could still see the customers address along with the access info, because the only way to see the address again is to refresh the page but then that will indicate to the customer that we have access which isn’t true. And also one time for I had attempted to indicate to the customer that I was On my way, the walked was scheduled for 12:00am and I was 30 mins away, but the app refused to allow to indicate to the customer anything, it kept saying that I was too early, it finally allowed me to let the customer know when the hour of 12 hit. So that also might be something that helps

Overall good, needs to prioritize walkers
I love how easy it is to connect with people who need their dogs walked and the app is super user friendly. I do think that Wags takes a bit too much a of cut of my pay for the amount of driving and walking I do for them. I think in my area it would be more fair if I was able to get paid ~.50 cents per minute of walking. Then that would cover my gas mileage and time spent getting to and from each location. I also think that the emergency cancelation shouldn’t hurt the walker unless they cancel in under 24 hours. I got locked out for canceling a week before. Lastly, sometimes the walks get backed up when walking back to back and there is no way to not be punished if you are delayed because you are walking dogs for wags. I wish there was a way that we could request to delay a walk 30 mins and the owner can agree to it or cancel the walk or look for a new walker asap. I hope this helps improve the app for all of the dog walkers out there!
