Why walk with Stride & Sniff

Real demand. Your schedule.

Flexible Hours

You publish your availability blocks. Morning routes, weekend afternoons, after-work slots — build a schedule that fits your life.

Recurring Standing Jobs

Residents book recurring walks — same dog, same time, same pay, week after week. Recurring routes are the highest-LTV path for walkers.

Keep 80–85%

Our platform commission is 15–20%. You keep the rest. No hidden fees, no weekly service charges, no gear requirements.

Fast Payouts

Stripe Connect deposits hit your bank ~2 business days after each completed walk. No chasing payments, no weekly minimums.

Vetted Community

Every walker on the platform passes a background check and ID verification. You're joining a trusted, insured network — not a race-to-the-bottom gig pool.

Local Demand Near You

We build local dog-owner bases in the neighborhoods you serve. That means neighbors who respect walkers and book consistently.
