The app essentially allows you to select a dog walker on your smartphone at a moment's notice. The dog walkers are all approved to walk dogs based on credentials, and if they're in your neighborhood and they're listed as “active” you can select them to walk your pooch.

If you're a trust worthy person this may be the app for you, but for some dog parents it may be difficult to surrender their dog to a person they've never met prior! Now if you're in a bind and you've read positive reviews about this handy app, perhaps Wag is the way to go. After all, it's nice having a dog walker nearby when you're in a pinch.

Whether this app is something you'd use or not, it surely points to bigger and more creative ways to take care of our pets. Relying on someone to take your pooch on a walk whenever you need it, especially when you don't have the time is ideal for some, but it may also be considered lazy to others.

Essentially, Wag lets people sign up to walk a dog whenever they have some free time on their hands.

The first step to becoming an instant dog walker is filling out an application.

Applicants have to be able to pass a background check — but as soon as you're approved, you can start walking dogs whenever you want!

The best part is, 10 cents from every mile walked is donated to Best Friends Animal Society to help animals in need.

The mission statement on their website says, “it's about time that our furry loved ones have an app for themselves on our phones!”

So what do you think about this app for our fur friends? Will you be using it to hire a dog walker on the spot or will you pass because you enjoy walking Fido on your own?
