ZINGY LAUNCHES DOG VALET "DASH STANDS" AT POPULAR FARMERS MARKETS AND SHOPPING CENTERS; WILL BE IN SHERMAN OAKS
On-Demand App-Based Dog Walking Service Zingy Expands to Convenient Location Service with DASH Stands, Including Fashion Square
Zingy™, the app-based on-demand personal dog walking service, has expanded its existing service – Introducing DASH Stands, valet stands for dog owners. DASH Stands will be available at select farmers’ markets, shopping centers and office complexes beginning Saturday, May 23. In Sherman Oaks, service will begin Tuesday, May 26, at Fashion Square (14006 Riverside Dr.) from 3 p.m. – 8 p.m, and will be available every Tuesday. Customers can drop their dogs for a walk while they shop.
Unlike the traditional Zingy model, where the walker comes to your home, office or public location, dog owners just open the app when they’re near a DASH Stand and immediately arrange a walker. Service starts on the spot, while owners shop, dine or continue with their workday.
Put simply, customers shop (dine or work) doggy-free while Zingy walks. DASH walks are available in shorter increments than the standard Zingy service to better convenience owners. DASH Stand users can choose from 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes and Zingy will notify owners via their phone when the walk is complete. If owners spend a little too long shopping, finishing off their meal or wrapping up a meeting, the dog will stay in safe hands until it is collected.

“DASH Stands enrich the lives of pet owners by enabling them to bring their dog(s) to the workplace and other public locations where it was previously difficult,” said Tobi Skovron, CEO of Zingy. “Farmers markets and shopping centers are the perfect locations to launch this program, because Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego residents love both - fresh produce and shopping trips. It’s improper to tie a dog somewhere or leave it at home – DASH Stands make the excursion that much more enjoyable for everyone.”
If you’re interested in having a DASH Stand at your office, shopping center, gym or farmers’ market in Los Angeles, Orange Country or San Diego you can request it via the Zingy website

The free Zingy app is available in both the iTunes and Google Play app stores. The DASH Stands in-app option will launch later this week, and the Zingy dog-walking service for users in their homes or businesses is available now.
Walkers at DASH Stands are required to have extensive Zingy Academy training, and the Zingy service is covered by a multimillion-dollar insurance policy. Visit ZingyPet.com for more information.
