Who is gehgassi for?

As a dog lover, you can register on the app and offer walks and sits. You create your own schedule and decide how, when and at what price you want to work.
As a dog owner, you can create your own profile for your dog and find the perfect dogwalker or dogsitter for your pet.
When can I download the app from the appstore?
Expected to start in summer 2022. We regularly post all news and updates on our social media channels and on the gehgassi website.
Can I register already now?
Yes, you can register for earlybird access on the gehgassi website or at office@gehgassi.com.
Where is gehgassi available?
For the time being we will start in Salzburg and Innsbruck. Soon gehgassi will be available throughout Austria.
What are the requirements to be a dogwalker?
You must be at least 18 years old and be able to handle a dog responsibly. If you are unsure if you are up to the task, please first make an appointment together with the dog owner to practice handling the dog.
How do I become a #gehgassiambassador?

Are there any fees?
A gehgassi profile is free for both dog owners and dogwalkers. Only the transaction fees of the online payment provider are charged.
How can I make sure my dog is treated well?
In general, we always recommend a first meeting together with the dogwalker to get to know each other and see how they interact with your dog. You can choose the right dogwalker for you based on reviews and qualifications.
Do I need to have my own dog to walk other dogs?
NO, you do not need your own dog to walk dogs via gehgassi. However, if you have your own dog, you can take other dogs with you on your walk, as long as the owner has not checked “exclusive”.
Can I walk several dogs at the same time?
Unless dog parents specifically check “exclusive”, you can walk multiple dogs at the same time.
How do I cancel a booking?
We recommend that you only accept requests that you can actually complete. This results in infrequent cancellations. If you still need to cancel a booking, please inform your customer first. After that you can delete the booking from your gehgassi account. The same goes for dog parents.
Are there any additional benefits to using the gehgassi app?
Yes, both dogwalkers and dog owners, earn points per walk booked. These are in turn converted into small prizes.
