The well-being and safety of your dog will always be our number one priority.
Research
I conducted an interview with a friend whose dog is very reactive. (Dog owner's name is Joy and her dog's name is Burt.) Joy's biggest concern was to ensure Burt was comfortable with whoever she assigned to watch him.
Since Burt is a very reactive dog, it was important to Joy that she trusted the dog walker and that she felt comfortable leaving Burt with that person. If she was comfortable then that helped to ease Burts' anxiety level of being with a stranger.
I also did research on leading dog walking websites to investigate their services in order to see how they would help someone like Joy and Burt to feel comfortable with someone they were not familiar with.

Visual Design
New Visual Designs
After consulting with several test users, I decided to change the deigns for this application. I wanted the color palette to be calm and relaxing but still engaging and fun.
I also, changed the name for the application to ‘Walks & Wags’. It's an easier name to say and there's no confusion as to the purpose of this application.
