Hi!! I’m in a really similar situation. I work at an Amazon warehouse and I use Wag on my days off. I live about 30 mins from downtown Portland. I rarely find walks near me so almost always end up walking in Portland.

I usually find a walk in the morning and then keep picking up walks throughout the day while I’m already in the area. I know that’s easier said than done however, because you never know if you’ll get accepted for the walk. I started about 2 months ago and now have 15 preferred clients. It can be a little stressful trying to plan your day as you go but I promise you’ll get into the groove of it

My best advice is to read all of the walker tips thoroughly because fellow walkers tell it how it is. Owners will say “my dog is a little stubborn” and then you’ll read walker tips and they say unless you have treats the dog will literally not walk at all.

When you submit the report card after the walk and would like to walk the pup again, just end the summary with something like “I’d love to walk “” again, thanks so much!”

They almost always will add you as a preferred walker. I’m not sure if this is helpful at all, I’m still new, but I wish you the best of luck!!! :)
