Rover vs. Wag: Which Dog Walking Service Should You Choose?

When you’re away on business or know your furbaby has energy to burn off, where do you turn to? With the boom of technology and apps running our daily lives, things have become more simple with the introduction of dog walking services through Rover and Wag.

Rover and Wag are two app and browser based companies that are dedicated to helping you connect with the most efficient dog walkers and sitters in your neck of the dog park. However, is one better than the other? We’ll let you decide after checking out the comparisons and differences.

First Impressions

Rover: We love how immediate all the service information is. When you go to the homepage, you instantly know what services are available. With the search engine front and center, they offer two search options for when you’re away and when you’re at work. These options include the following services.

• Dog Boarding
• House Sitting
• Drop In Visits
• Doggy Day Care
• Dog Walking

Wag: The website is very clean and easy to navigate through although the services are not as immediately recognized in comparison to visiting Rover. However, promotions are immediate! When you first visit the page, you may be prompted to claim your first free walk. Not for you, silly. For your furbaby.
