Owners watch every walk live and get the photos to prove it. Walkers keep every dollar they earn. One app, both sides, nothing hidden.
Follow the route as it happens, from front door to home. No refreshing, no wondering.
Real pictures from the walk, sent the moment they're snapped. Not a stock dog in sight.
Book it, confirm it, and both of you see the same plan. No double-bookings, no guesswork.
Free for walkers up to 25 walks a month — about one a weekday. Go over, and that month is a flat $20, never more. A month of Sidewalk costs less than one walk, and we never take a percentage of what you earn. Owners never pay Sidewalk anything.
Walk on the side or just a few dogs? You may never pay a cent, and the free tier never expires. A walk counts once, however many dogs are on it.
Charge $15 a walk or $50 — what we charge doesn't change. Raise your rates and you keep the whole difference.
You built the relationships, so you keep them. Your clients are never ours to hold hostage — no lock-in, no dark patterns, leave whenever you like.
Pass 25 walks in a month and that month is $20 flat (plus tax), however busy it gets — at 60 walks that's about 33¢ each. Your first month over is on us. A quiet month costs nothing.
Share of what an owner pays that never reaches the walker, from each company's published fees as of November 2026. Rover: 20% taken from the sitter plus an 11% owner fee (in California, 25% + 11% added on top instead). Wag: the walker's rate × 1.67, plus a booking fee.
