How do I find a dog to walk?

All matches depend on location and availability. The best way to find a new furry friend is to like their profiles and message any local doggies that you like the sound of. Once contact has been made, you can arrange a ‘Welcome woof’ to get to know each other. The ‘Welcome woof’ is the first meeting between an owner and a borrower and is all about getting to know each other and discuss the kind of arrangement you’re both looking for.
