In recent years, the pet market has become a major trend industry, and pet owners are becoming increasingly younger. Among pets, dogs require the most time and care, which can be challenging for many working pet parents.

"How to Find Time to Spend with Your Pet?"

"Wouldn't it be great if someone could take them for a walk while I'm at work?"

This article introduces an innovative startup that helps pet parents find someone to walk their dogs within 15 minutes, using a specialized safety lockbox to ensure both convenience and safety for busy pet parents while keeping their pets healthy and safe!

Wag: The Uber Of Pets

Wag is a startup that offers dog walking and pet transportation services, founded in the United States by Joshua Viner. As a busy entrepreneur who also wanted a dog, Joshua found it hard to meet his dog's needs. This inspired him to create a service that makes pet ownership easier for people like him.

Wag's Services:

• Dog owners register their basic information on Wag's website and download the Wag App.
• Wag arranges for nearby dog lovers to come to your house within 15 minutes when needed.
• Just like Uber for pets, dog owners can select either a 30-minute or 1-hour walk or set up a regular walking schedule.

Many people have questions like, "How do I let a walker get my pet?", "Is it safe for someone to come directly to my house?", or "How can we prevent theft by someone pretending to walk my dog?"

To address these concerns, Wag has a strict screening mechanism for dog walkers and provides a dedicated safety lockbox to solve these issues.

Dedicated Pet Lockbox

Once a dog owner registers on the Wag website, Wag sends them a lockbox with a digital lock (company-provided lockbox). If the dog owner is away, they can place their house key inside the lockbox, set a combination, and use the app to share the code and location with the walker. The walker uses the code to open the lockbox and retrieve the key to enter the house and walk the dog.

Company-Provided vs. Self-Purchased Lockboxes

Functionality and Security:

• Company-Provided Lockbox: Usually comes with safety certifications, provides authorized access to walkers, and may feature smart connectivity, remote control, and fingerprint recognition, ensuring controlled access for the service provider during specific times.
• Self-Purchased Lockbox: Personalized features vary by brand and model, offering different levels of functionality.

Convenience:

• Company-Provided Lockbox: Easy to install and use, typically set up by the company, each lockbox has its own dedicated code, and users just need to follow simple instructions.
• Self-Purchased Lockbox: Offers more choices but requires understanding compatibility, installation, and setup on your own.

In conclusion, Wag's company-provided lockbox makes it easy and secure for dog owners to use the service, with comprehensive smart connectivity and remote control options. On the other hand, self-purchased lockboxes offer more personalized options but require DIY installation and setup.
