FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I pay my walker?

Directly — through their own Venmo or Cash App. Your private page has a pay button that sends them exactly what you owe. Pawtrail never touches that money.

Do you cover cats too, not just dogs?

Yes. Walkers here cover dogs, cats, and other small pets — just say so when you request a walker.

What's the small booking fee about?

A small reservation fee applies to confirm a new booking, split between you and your walker. It disappears entirely once your walker has 10 or more regular clients.

Do I need to download an app?

No. You get a private link to a page with your pet's updates, photos, and balance — nothing to install, no account to create.

How are walkers vetted?

Every walker application is reviewed by a real person before they're approved — no automatic or bulk sign-ups.
