Case Type: Dog Walking & Pet Sitting

On time, every time.
With photos to prove it.

Pet owners hand you a key and their family member. Reviews come down to reliability, communication, and the photo updates owners love. TapLocal App℠ sets up a service-area Google profile for your real coverage area, places an NFC + QR Google review card where owners will see it, and hands you a report on what clients already say.

No gating. No incentives. No guarantees. Ever.

Exhibit A — the card, by the leash hook
// Why pet care is a special case

Reliability you can see

Reliability outranks everything

Showing up exactly when scheduled matters more in this trade than almost anywhere.

Photo updates are expected

Owners often mention, and reward, real-time photo updates during a walk or visit.

Trust with a key

Like cleaners, pet sitters get reviewed on whether owners felt safe handing over access to their home.

Hidden address, one coverage area

Google chooses how you verify; for a business like this it's usually a short video, not a mailed postcard.

// Process

Four steps, no theatrics

Install

// Dog Walking & Pet Sitting questions

Dog Walkers & Pet Sitters: questions, answered plainly

When should owners get the card?
Leaving it after a first visit or the end of a pet-sitting stay works well; owners can review once they're home and see how things went.
We have several walkers. Can reviews mention them?
Owners can mention whoever they like. If walkers' names come up, your report shows the pattern. You can't ask owners to name anyone.
How is my coverage area defined?
You tell us the neighborhoods, cities or ZIP codes you actually serve, and we set your Google service area to match.
How does verification work for a pet-care business?
As a service-area business, your base address stays hidden. Google chooses how you verify; for a business like yours it's usually a short video.
Will the report show what owners value most?
Yes. If reviews keep mentioning photo updates, punctuality or a particular walker, the report shows those patterns.
Is there anything we should avoid asking customers?
Yes: never ask for a specific star rating or wording, never offer anything in return for a review, and never ask only the customers you think are happy. The card simply makes it easy for everyone to leave an honest review.
