Leaving your pet at home isn’t easy for you or your furry friend but it’s something many of us have to do as we go about our daily activities. That’s why August Home and Wag! have formed a partnership in the US to make trusted dog walker and pet-sitter care easier.

Separation anxiety and loneliness can easily happen to a pet, especially if the animal experiences a change in circumstances where it is left alone for longer periods than before. To help your pets cope, consider scheduling daytime visits to show them some midday love. You can book a trusted Pet Caregiver on Wag! for a quick drop-in or a longer walk.

And with an August smart lock, you can easily grant your pet caregiver access to your home, without needing to lend out a physical key. Simply give temporary or recurring access through the August app, or share a code to use with the accompanying August Smart Keypad

Whether you’re regularly away during the day, taking a business trip or on vacation, you can create a pet care plan for friends, neighbors or a Pet Caregiver from Wag! to walk, feed and play with your pet, and make sure only these trusted people have easy access to your home when you want them to.

With an August smart lock, you can manage access to your home from anywhere. Grant secure access to people you trust instantly, all from the August app. Never hide keys again or worry who has a copy.

Through the August app, you can see exactly what time a pet sitter or dog walker entered and left your home, while our Auto-Lock feature automatically secures your front door once it’s closed or after a specified amount of time. You enjoy the peace of mind of never worrying if your door is locked.

Our smart locks are easy to install and attaches to your existing deadbolt so you can keep your original keys. For more information about August’s solutions for the US and Canada market, please visit https://august.com/
