Wag! claims that dog walkers can be summoned with as little as 30 minutes notice.

Walks can also be tracked in real time through the app.

The app has already launched in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.

After the walk is complete, a "pup report" is delivered by the app, including a picture/video of the pet, map of the route taken and full disclosure on exactly when and where the pet did its business.

Walks can last 20, 30 or 60 minutes.

Walkers are available 24/7.

“We are proud to expand our services to these pet-loving cities across the country,” said Josh Viner, co-founder of Wag!. “Dog owners can now have peace of mind that their dog can be walked by a safe and trusted walker, even in a pinch. As many pet lovers are also busy with professional and social responsibilities, it only makes sense to provide them with services that can ease the stress of pet ownership with the touch of a button.”
