Woofer is hand-picked. We accept 4.4% of walker applicants because the dog parents who hire us are handing over keys, and we are not in the business of disappointing them.

The 4.4% who make it through already knew they would.

The bar isn't arbitrary. Every quality we ask for exists because a dog parent is counting on it at 4pm on a Tuesday in January.

People who love dogs

Short. We ask what we need to know, nothing else.

Calm hands on a leash

Confident. Patient. Read the dog before the dog reads you

Comfortable with apartment life

Doormen, walk-ups, pre-war buildings, weather, the cross-town day

Real NYC presence

You live and walk in the neighborhoods you serve

Reliable to the minute

The 4pm cancellation is not in your repertoire

You're a Woofer. Not a contractor.

The standard we hold walkers to is the same standard we hold ourselves to. That means what we offer has to match.

Real income, Pay reflects the standard not gig-app rates.
Real respect, Walker comms are warm-professional. You're a Woofer, not a contractor.
A Team you're proud to belong to.
The 4.4% bar is the colleagues you walk alongside.
Continuity, You walk the same dogs week after week. Real bonds, not random pings.
Flexibility, Variable pickups and short-notice booking work for you too plan your week, your way.
Your schedule, your pace, Take the walks that fit. Steady recurring dogs give you a reliable base to build from.

How it Works

How to apply?

Application

Short. Honest. Tells us what we need to know.

Background Check

Full background screening, every applicant.

References

We call them. Real conversations, not checkboxes.

Interview

A conversation, not an interrogation. We want to know who you are.

Walker Training

Our safety standards, our protocols, your foundation.

Dog Handling Assessment

The final gate. You demonstrate what you know.

A Higher Standard, Built to Give Back

Gold Standard

Woofer isn’t designed to feel exclusive or out of reach. It’s built to raise the baseline for how dog walking should be done — safer, more personal, and more accountable.
