Specialist Pet Professional Services
Australia's first specialist care network for breeders and show exhibitors.
AUSTRALIA'S FIRST
Because some jobs need more than a general pet sitter, Wagly also connects you with specialists for:
Breeders Services - From overnight whelping watch to tube feeding and litter rotation - we connect breeders with carers who actually know what they're doing. Because when you've got a litter on the ground, you need someone who's been there.
Dog Show Handlers - Our experienced Dog Show Handlers are also available for those times you are interstate without your support team or unable to show yourself.
These specialist categories are Wagly Verified Premium listings only — given the stakes involved, we don't offer an unverified free-listing option here.
Up and running in minutes
Wagly has two kinds of listings — here's how each one works for you.
Search your area
Enter your suburb to find Wagly Verified Pet Professionals near you — with services, prices, availability, and reviews all visible upfront.
Browse, compare and message
Read profiles, compare the prices each professional has set themselves, and message them directly before you commit to anything.
Request your booking
Send a booking request. Your chosen Pet Professional reviews it and confirms — nothing is locked in until they accept.
Pay securely and stay in the loop
Payment goes directly to your Pet Professional via Stripe. Live GPS on walks, photo updates, and a report card at the end.
Search or browse a category
Free listings show up in general search and category browsing, right alongside Verified listings.
See their contact details
Name, phone, website, and location — no full profile page, no reviews, and no booking through Wagly.
Reach out directly
Contact them yourself and ask the questions that matter to you before arranging anything.
Do your own due diligence
Free listings haven't been through Wagly's verification process, so it's on you to check reviews elsewhere and have a conversation first.
Why Wagly is different
Most pet apps do one thing — a directory, or a booking tool, or a social feed — and leave you to stitch the rest together yourself. Wagly is the one app built around the whole life of owning a pet: find a pet-friendly cafe for Saturday morning, book a Verified, police-checked sitter for the weekend away, check in a Pet Passport at the vet with a QR code instead of a stack of paperwork, set specific reminders for yourself and your pets, and pull up a saved Trip Planner the moment you land somewhere new.
Every listing is either Free (so nothing pet-friendly slips through the cracks) or Wagly Verified Premium (so when trust actually matters — leaving your dog with someone, driving somewhere unfamiliar with your cat in the back seat — you know exactly who you're dealing with). It's not a directory with a booking feature bolted on, and it's not a booking app that happens to list cafes. It's the single place pet parents open for all of it.
What "Wagly Verified" Means
Peace of mind, where it matters most.
Look for the Wagly Verified badge on Premium listings. It means:
National Police Check
Every 'Verified' Wagly Pet Professional completes ID police and background checks before their first booking. No exceptions.
Identity Verified
Through Wagly's approved verification process.
Personally Reviewed
By our team before the profile goes live.
Specialist Credentials Verified
For 'Breeder Specialist' 'Show Handler' & 'Wedding Chaperone' listings.
Live GPS tracking
On every 'Dog Walk' with a shareable link sent at the start (Verified Pet Professionals only)
Secure Payments Via Sripe
Your payment goes directly to the Pet Professionals own account.
Free listings don't carry this badge — that's the trade-off for being able to list at no cost. We always recommend reading reviews and having a conversation with any provider, verified or not, before booking.

Wagly Frequently Asked Questions
🐾 General
What is Wagly?
Wagly is Australia's most-loved pet-friendly app — helping pet parents find everywhere pet-friendly, from cafes and accommodation to trusted pet professionals, plus breed and breeder info. Businesses can list for free, or become Wagly Verified for full visibility and, where relevant, in-app bookings.
Is Wagly free to use?
Yes. Searching, browsing, saving favourites, building a Pet Passport, and posting on the Jobs Board are all completely free for pet parents.
Is Wagly available across Australia?
Wagly is available nationally. Simply search your suburb or postcode to find Pet Professionals near you.
Do I need to create an account to use Wagly?
No — you can browse and search without signing up. Creating a free account unlocks Pet Passport, saved favourites, and the Trip Planner.
Are all listings on Wagly verified?
No. Wagly has two kinds of listings: Free listings, which show contact details only and aren't verified, and Wagly Verified Premium listings, which have completed our full verification process (including a National Police Check for pet professionals) and include a full profile. Look for the Verified badge.
🐶 For Pet Owners
How do I find a Pet Professional near me?
Open the Wagly app or website, enter your suburb or postcode, and browse. Filter by service type and by Verified status to find exactly what you need.
How do I book a Pet Professional?
Verified Premium Pet Professionals have their own booking system on their Wagly profile — select a service, choose a date and time, and follow the prompts. Free listings don't have in-app booking; contact them directly using the details on their listing.
How do I pay for a service?
For Verified Premium bookings, payment goes directly to the Pet Professional through their own secure Stripe account — Wagly doesn't handle or store your payment details. For Free listings, arrange payment directly with the provider.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a booking?
Cancellation and rescheduling policies are set by each individual Pet Professional. Check their profile or contact them directly.
What if I have a problem with a booking or a Pet Professional?
Reach out to the Pet Professional directly first. If you have a concern about conduct that you feel Wagly should know about, contact us and we'll investigate.
Can I leave a review?
Yes, for Verified Premium listings — after your service, leave a review on their Wagly profile to help other pet owners and reward great professionals.
📋 Jobs Board
What is the Jobs Board?
A community notice board where pet owners post jobs they need done — a one-off dog walk to ongoing pet sitting. Any registered Wagly professional, Free or Premium, can browse and contact you directly if they're a good fit.
Is it free to post a job?
Yes, completely free.
Who can see my job posting?
Visible to Wagly-registered professionals only, not the general public.
What information do I need to include in a job posting?
A good job posting includes the type of service you need, details about your pet (breed, age, any special needs), your general location or suburb, and how you'd like to be contacted. The more detail you include, the better matched your responses will be.
How will Pet Professionals contact me?
Pet Professionals will reach out using the contact details you include in your job posting, so make sure to include your preferred contact method — phone, email, or both.
Am I guaranteed to receive responses to my job posting?
While we have a growing community of Pet Professionals on Wagly, we cannot guarantee responses to every job posting. If you don't hear back, try updating your listing or browsing Pet Professional profiles directly and reaching out to those who offer the service you need.
🐕 For Pet Professionals
How do I list my business on Wagly?
Head to the mobile app app.wagly.com.au or website www.wagly.com.au and apply to join as a Pet Professional. You'll complete your profile, submit to a police check, and provide details about your experience and the services you offer. Once approved, your listing goes live and pet owners can find and book you.
What does it cost to list on Wagly?
Free Listing is $0/month — your name, contact details, and location, with no verification required. Premium Listing is $37/month — full verification, top placement, a full profile, and (for pet professionals) in-app bookings and payments via Stripe. No commissions or booking fees on Premium — you keep 100% of what you earn.
Do I need to use Wagly's payment system?
No. You use your own Stripe account to accept payments directly from clients. Wagly does not take a cut of any booking. You set your own prices and keep 100% of what you earn.
What is the Petpreneur Platform?
The Petpreneur Platform is Wagly's premium tier for Pet Professionals, available for $150/month. It includes your Wagly listing plus access to business tools, resources, and support to help you grow and manage your pet care business professionally. [Learn more here — https://thepetpreneurplatform.com/home]
Why do I need a police check for Premium?
It's part of our commitment to making Wagly Verified mean something. It gives pet parents real confidence when choosing a Premium listing, and it's what unlocks top placement, a full profile, and in-app bookings.
Can I respond to Jobs Board listings?
Yes! As a registered Pet Professional, you can browse the Jobs Board and contact pet owners directly about jobs that suit your skills and availability. You will find the jobs board inside your account on the dashboard, this is updated immediately a new job is posted.
What happens if a client leaves a negative review?
We encourage all Pet Professionals to respond professionally to any review, positive or negative. If you believe a review is false, misleading, or in breach of our community guidelines, please contact us at [email protected] and we will review the matter.
Can I list for free without being verified?
Yes — Free Listing gives you a contact-details-only listing with no police check or paperwork required. You won't have a full profile page or appear in the member Trip Planner, but pet parents can still find and contact you.
Do I need to use Wagly's payment system?
Only if you're a Verified Premium Pet Professional taking bookings through Wagly — you use your own Stripe account and keep everything you earn. Free listings don't use Wagly's booking or payment system at all.
