Pets are just another part of our life. To some, they are friends, family and some think and care of their pet as if their child. Pets are given equal importance in a person’s life and sometimes more. And why not? They provide us with companionship with emotional support, reduce our stress levels and sense of loneliness. Cute and furry pets help us increase our social activities and even add to a child’s self-esteem and positive emotional development.

Since they are utterly good to us, it’s our responsibility to pay attention to their basic personal needs. The Pet industry is there for over 20 years to help pet lovers fonder and bolster their pet. However, like every other industry, this one also had to adopt a new generation of technology in order to cater to the purpose well.

Besides food, water, and shelter, pet animals also need to exercise and socialize to be healthy, alert, and feel happy. Until now, there were traditional pet care shops people used to go to. Today, pet owners can book any service they need for their pet online by mobile apps.

For example, three brothers Joshua, Jonathan Viner, and Jason Meltzer, previously ran a traditional dog walking business, Wag. They followed Uber’s playbook: connect pet owners with Wag’s network of dog walkers, who work as independent contractors. They launched their on-demand Dog walking app-Wag in 2015 at the height of the on-demand boom. Their startups could draw the attention of a large audience, from celebrities to investors and new entrepreneurs.

Today, the dog walking app development like Wag is among lucrative mobile app ideas. If you want to try your luck, you will need to consider the below factors.
