Fetch! Pet Care Dog Walking

Why it is listed

Fetch! Pet Care is the official U.S. walking franchise page with 30/45/60-minute walks, a mandatory background check, and last-minute requests. It does not print a national walk from-price or an insurance dollar cap on that PDP. Meet the walker. Confirm the local rate. A walk is not boarding. GPS is not insurance.

Pros & cons

Pros

• fetchpetcare.com/services/dog-walking 2026-09-02: 30-, 45-, and 60-minute walks; one-time or recurring; last-minute reservations and schedule changes named; photos and video; arrival/departure, bathroom/food/water, temperament notes. Thoroughly vetted: mandatory background check, in-depth interview, personal information, insured and bonded. Meet virtually or in person. Primary and backup walkers. Homepage: America’s largest professional dog walking and pet sitting franchise; location finder.
• GPS Tracking on that page: Fetch tracks the location of walkers so they always know where the pup is; photo/video to your smartphone. My Fetch! App is named for card payment. book-meet-and-greet page (official): staff are employees, licensed, bonded and insured; dog walking special pricing from $25 with GPS tracking — quoted, not used as the walking-PDP from-price because the walking FAQ says costs vary by location.
• Walking FAQ cancel: policies vary by location; cancellation within 24–48 hours of the visit may be charged up to 50% of the service fee. You are not charged until after the service is completed (walking FAQ).

Cons

• The national walking PDP does not print iOS and Android by name (My Fetch! App only) — quality app points are zero. GPS wording is company tracking of walkers, not a clear “follow the live map in your app” line like Wag. Franchise offices set prices; named-USD and from-price value points are zero on the walking PDP.
• Insured and bonded with no published dollar cap on the national walking page — safety $ points are zero. 24/7 support is not named there. Local FAQs (for example a Silver Spring franchise naming Pet Sitters Associates) are not a national cap.
• Meet the walker. Ask about leash, keys, meds, and escape. A 30-minute walk that includes feeding is still a walk, not overnight boarding. GPS is not insurance. Confirm that franchise’s rate and cancel rule.
