WaggyWalking
WaggyWalking is a dual-interface mobile application designed to connect dog owners with trusted local walkers. It functions as a comprehensive ecosystem where owners can schedule walks and manage their pets, while walkers can bid on and complete jobs, all overseen by a powerful administrative web panel.
About the Project
WaggyWalking streamlines the entire dog-walking process into a single, seamless application for both service providers and recipients. The platform features a unified login that directs users to either an Owner or a Walker dashboard based on their role.
For Dog Owners, the app simplifies pet care logistics. Owners can create detailed profiles for their dogs, specifying breed, weight, and special needs. They can then post a walk request with specific dates, times, and locations. Once posted, the owner can review bids from available walkers, add a tip, and accept the best offer. The walk is then tracked in real-time, with live updates on the walker's arrival, the start and end of the walk.
For Walkers, the app provides a source of income and flexible work. Walkers can browse available walks in their area and place competitive bids. Once a bid is accepted, they gain access to the walk's details, including the dog's information and the owner's address. The walker can then update the walk's status—arriving, starting the walk, and completing it—providing peace of mind to the owner.
The entire operation is managed and monitored through a comprehensive **Admin Web Panel**. This back-office system provides complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality for every aspect of the platform, including users, dogs, breeds, locations, and financial transactions (walks, bids, payouts). It also manages key system configurations like pricing models (fixed or percentage-based fees) and content pages.
