SideWalker

Your dog walking business, in your pocket.

Built for teen and casual walkers running their own neighborhood business — whether you have five clients or none yet. The built-in starter guide helps you land your first. No accounts. No middleman. Just walks.

Everything a walking business needs

Four taps from "the neighbors asked" to a real little business — timer, schedule, money, and the report cards owners rave about.

One-tap walk timer

Start a walk in one tap — the timer ticks on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while the phone stays pocketed.

SideWalker calendar with a scheduled repeating walk

Schedule & repeat

Weekly regulars, reminders, and two-way sync with the iOS Calendar. Never miss Tuesday's walk again.

SideWalker earnings dashboard with weekly totals and per-client breakdown

Know who's paid

Earnings by week, month, and client. Send a payment request with a tap-to-pay Venmo link or an Apple Cash message.

SideWalker walk report card with dog photos, duration, and mood tags

Report cards

After each walk, share a polished card with photos, duration, and mood. Owners love them — and forward them.

🔒 Private by design

  • No accounts, ever. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to get breached.
  • Everything stays on the phone. Clients, walks, photos, and earnings live in the on-device database — we have no servers.
  • No tracking. No analytics, no ads. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected."
  • The app never touches money. Payment requests hand off to Venmo, Apple Cash, or PayPal — between you and your client.

Includes the Start Your Business guide

A seven-step starter plan built into the app: pick your service and rate, get the parent sign-off, land your first three clients, nail the first walk, get paid (Venmo Teen Accounts and Apple Cash Family covered), and grow by referral. Check off each step as you go.

No other walking tracker ships with a business plan.

Simple pricing

For parents

SideWalker collects no personal information and requires no account — there's nothing to sign your kid up for and nothing to leak. Payments go through services you already supervise, like Venmo Teen Accounts and Apple Cash Family. You buy the app once; your teen runs the business.
