Pooch-Parking Services

These Sidewalk Dog Kennels Allow Consumers to Temporarily Park Their Dog

— February 24, 2016 — Lifestyle
'Dog Parker' is a new service that provides sidewalk dog kennels for temporarily parking your pooch. As many dog owners know, it can be nerve-wracking to leave a dog tied up outside while running errands. This service solves the problem of temporarily parking your pooch by providing designated outdoor kennels.

Dog Parker is a pay-by-the-minute service that allows dog-owners to safely park their dog outside while they run errands. The service consists of a network of sidewalk dog kennels that are locked by radio signals and monitored by cameras. The kennels are even temperature controlled to ensure that the dogs inside are comfortable. Users can either pay each time they use the kennels or they can sign up for a membership that also allows for kennel reservations 15 minutes ahead of time.

While the service is still in the early stages, the temporary kennels provide a handy solution for dog owners who don't feel comfortable leaving their pet tied up outside.
