【Bayo (2025)】

Wag! is Bayo (2025)a popular dog walking app that has been described as the "Uber of dog walking." Within minutes while you're away, you can schedule for a walker to come to your apartment and take your dog out for a walk for 30 to 60 minutes.

While on a walk, the dog walker then sends notifications through the app to the owner at given points during the walk: when the walker arrives at the apartment, checks the leash, when the dog poops and pees, and when the dog is returned to the apartment.

However, as a user of the app, I've come up with some helpful improvements so the dog owner can have an even fuller idea of how their dog's walk is going.

Here are some helpful additions to improve the app and better inform dog owners.

While the app does offer a feature that allows walkers to notify the owner that they've double checked their leash, this extra step would show that the walker was miraculously able to contain the dog in one corner of the apartment and put on his leash.

This pin would be helpful for right after the enormous dog the walker is guiding suddenly decides it wants to bolt across the street into busy traffic when there's no walk signal.

While there's already a pin for when the dog goes number two, this pin would notify the owner that the walker came very close to throwing up but somehow managed to just gag a lot while throwing it away.

The Wag! app requires that the walker take a picture of the dog at the end of the walk, but my improvement would require that the walker also takes a picture of themselves after the walk, so the owner can see that they were dragged on a two-mile jog in the rain but also somehow their sweat is visible.

A "Dog Walker Walks Home Sore After Being Dragged Around For 60 Minutes" Pin

This new feature would notify the Wag! dog owner that the walker is now going to walk home, sore and wet.

A Notification That The Walker Has Quit Dog Walking Because Of Your Dog

This notification is pretty straight forward. It lets the owner know that because of their dog, the walker has quit working for Wag! and is all the better for it.

With these notifications, Wag! walkers and owners will experience a better, more accurate interaction.
