At Wag!, we build products that help dogs and their parents live more joyful lives. Working with our technology and engineering team is part art, part skill—and all heart. We like to surround ourselves with other smart people that will challenge us and bring new thinking to the team to help us build better products. We're all about automation and we're constantly pushing the limits on what can be delivered auto-magically—from QA to deploying code in production. Our patent-pending Woof Pack Scrum structure allows us to work more independently, faster, and with the right level of autonomy and accountability for producing results. If there's a way to integrate it into Slack, we've probably done it. We love music, food and drinks—anything that helps us be the best team possible. And maybe most important—we don't like to leave our dogs home alone, so be ready to spend your days in the office hanging with the pups.

About Us

At Wag! we're crazy about pets and the people who love them, and everything we do is intended to bring them joy and keep them safe. We invented on-demand dog walking by connecting an already passionate community of local dog walkers with pet parents. Launched in Los Angeles in 2015, Wag! has become a vertically integrated technology platform. We offer access to on-demand dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in visits, consultations with licensed pet experts and both in-person and digital training services across 5,200 cities in all 50 states, in addition to subscription and insurance comparison offerings. Wag!'s platform has over 400,000 approved pet caregivers across the U.S., has completed over 11 million services through the platform, and has delivered over $300 million total bookings to date. 

While we have offices based in San Francisco and Phoenix we are open to remote candidates in nearby time zones.
