Small daily targets and gentle nudges make the routine stick — even on the days you don't feel like it. Your dog feels the difference within days.
No fiddling, no numbers to chase. The walk is quietly recorded — route, pace, paw steps — while you just enjoy the time together.
Finish the walk and get a card worth keeping. Streaks and small wins make tomorrow's walk easier to start — so the good days keep stacking up.
History, stats, streaks, and dog steps become a progress story you can return to anytime.
After a walk, GetWalkBuddy turns route, distance, paw steps, and health lift into a short progress moment that feels rewarding instead of noisy.
"By day four he stopped pacing at night. I didn't change his food — I just actually walked him. Every day."
Rachel · lab mix mom
"I used to lie in bed thinking ‘I didn't walk him again today.' I haven't had that thought in three weeks."
Jamie · rescue dog mom
"He's nine. He hasn't moved like this in years. So much of ‘getting old' was really just not moving enough."
Dana · senior golden mom
"I can scroll back and see every walk we did together. That's the part that got me. Proof I showed up for him."
Sam · first-time dog momReal transformations dog parents describe after building the habit.
Every walk becomes a card worth saving — route, distance, paw steps, and the little wins that add up. Because being a good dog parent shouldn't feel invisible.
Yes — GetWalkBuddy is free to download and start using on iPhone. Some advanced features are part of an optional premium plan inside the app.
GetWalkBuddy is the new unified brand. During the short transition, Apple may still show the previous app listing name, MyWalkBuddy; the icon, developer, and getwalkbuddy.com links confirm it is the same app.
No. Open the app, tap start, walk your dog. That's it.
GetWalkBuddy tracks walks while the app is open, so it only uses GPS during the walk itself — not all day in the background.
Works for every dog. The plan adjusts to your dog's age, size, and pace.
No. GetWalkBuddy is a motivational walking companion. It helps you track and build a routine, but it does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care.
Nothing dramatic. GetWalkBuddy is designed to encourage consistency without punishment. Pick the routine back up with the next walk.
