A new UK platform is making it easier for dog owners to find safe places to exercise their pets.
WagAway, www.WagAway.app, a marketplace for private dog-walking spaces, especially urban areas where secure fields are not feasible, allowing dog owners to book gardens by the hour. The platform connects dog owners with landowners who want to rent out their unused outdoor space, including fields and paddocks.
The service is designed particularly for dogs that struggle in busy public parks — including reactive, anxious or poorly socialised dogs.
Dog owners can search nearby locations, book time slots and have exclusive use of a space during their visit.
Solving a growing problem for dog owners
The UK is home to more than 13 million dogs, and many owners struggle to find safe places where their pets can run freely.
Busy parks, poor recall and behavioural issues mean that for many dogs, off-lead exercise is difficult or unsafe.
WagAway provides a solution by offering private bookable spaces, giving dogs and owners complete peace of mind.
Helping landowners generate extra income
The platform also creates a new income opportunity for homeowners and landowners.
People with fields, paddocks and especially urban gardens can list their space on WagAway and earn money by hosting dog owners.
Hosts set their own pricing and availability, while WagAway manages bookings and payments.
Founder quote
Assaff Rawner, founder of WagAway, said:
“Many dog owners struggle to find safe places to exercise their dogs, especially those with reactive or nervous pets.
WagAway was created to make it simple to book private spaces where dogs can run freely without stress or risk.”
He added:
“At the same time, it gives landowners and homeowners an easy way to earn additional income from outdoor space that would otherwise sit unused.”
Growing demand for private dog spaces
Secure dog-walking fields have grown rapidly across the UK in recent years, reflecting increasing demand from dog owners for controlled environments.
WagAway aims to bring these locations together into a single booking platform and expand the concept further by enabling homeowners with suitable gardens to participate.
The platform is currently expanding across the UK and plans to grow internationally in the future.
