We’re excited to announce that Wag! has chosen Keeper to support their US-based caregivers with their 2022 taxes!
Wag! strives to be the #1 platform for busy pet parents, offering access to 5-star dog walking, pet sitting, expert pet advice, wellness plans, and one-on-one training from Wag!’s community of 400,000 local pet caregivers nationwide.
With safety and wellness at the forefront, Wag! has a trusted record of experience with more than 12 million pet care services completed by pet caregivers on the Wag! Platform. These services have been performed across 5,300 cities and all 50 US states, with pet parents rating 96% of services as 5-star.
Said otherwise: If you have a pet, you’ve heard of [and probably already use] Wag!.
Why did Wag! choose Keeper?
Like many 1099 workers in the US, caregivers that use Wag! usually have complex tax situations: as a result of their work with Wag!, caregivers often compile a significant number of business expenses throughout the year, including dog treats, poop bags, leashes, and cleaning wipes.
“We want to support pet caregivers in all aspects of business ownership, and taxes are a huge and daunting part of that,” said Keith Mosley, GM of Supply at Wag!. “Keeper is the perfect solution for independent contractors, especially those in the gig work space and we’re thrilled to partner with them.”
Before Keeper, and in order to get full credit at tax time, caregivers hoarded paper receipts and maintained Excel spreadsheets to keep track of their expenses — only to then manually enter them into a traditional tax software, line by line…
This process was so time-consuming — and required so much manual record keeping — that many caregivers chose to forego their write-offs altogether, paying for the cost of all their work-related expenses out of pocket. As a result, they likely overpaid the IRS by thousands of dollars at tax time…
That’s why we’re excited to work with Wag!: so we can put money back into caregivers’ pockets, and reduce the stress of tax filing for the people taking care of our fur friends!
