Apple Pay. Book a walk or a day of daycare with one tap, without typing a card number at all. Booking a walk now works from end to end. The pickup address has its own step, so nothing can stop you halfway through without saying why. Paying by card is faster too: no billing address, no postal code — the form only asks for what a card in the UAE actually needs. We ask about notifications when there is a reason to: right after your request goes out, so you hear back the moment a walker accepts.

Set your walker profile up later and finish it when it suits you — until now the form had to be completed before you could see anything else. Your home screen now shows what is still missing from your profile and takes you there in one tap. Dog owners get the same: without a dog on file no walk can be booked, and that is now easy to see and fix. Plus a handful of corrections, including signup times that were recorded four hours off.

If you were waiting on a walk request, a confirmation or a message, your phone stayed quiet. It shouldn't have. From this version on, requests, confirmations, cancellations and messages reach you even when the app is closed. Also in this release: several smaller fixes, and a clearer picture of where a booking gets stuck — so we can clear what's in the way instead of guessing.

Daycares can now set different prices for small, medium and large dogs — and only where it actually applies, so a facility can charge one flat rate for the day and different rates for overnight stays. Bookings with more than one dog are now priced correctly. Facilities that don't sell hourly stays no longer show hourly options, and prices no longer include discounts the facility never agreed to.
