I am a regular dog walker with Rover and decided to try Wag as well. To my disappointment, they were asking caregivers to pay $50 for their own background check, demanding to have at least 5 referrals that confused people into paying money and downloading apps that wanted to track their movements (a couple of my sweet clients told me they ended up paying to leave me a referral - which I never would've asked if I knew they would be charged!), and then to top all of this off, Wag takes 40% of the earnings of the caregivers. This company should not be supported in any way. Choose Rover instead....way better company that this one

Hi Shauna, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're disappointed to hear about the dissatisfaction of the sign up process. Background check fee covers the administrative costs of an in-depth review and vetting process. Paid endorsements are not required; however, do provide perks. Pet Parents who you invite to submit your Endorsements will be required to create a Wag! account from their mobile device in order to verify their identity. We appreciate your feedback sincerely, and will pass it along to the relevant teams.
