Dog walk reminder on WhatsApp
Updated .
A dog walk reminder on WhatsApp is a daily message at walk time. With Mindie, send "every day at 7am remind me to walk Max" and it comes every morning, in your timezone.
Dogs keep to a routine better than people do. On a busy workday, a walk gets pushed back, then shortened, then skipped, and the dog notices first.

Morning walk
Midday break on workdays
As a habit
When to be reminded
- Morning and evening walks, at the same times each day.
- A midday break on workdays if you're home but busy.
- Feeding or flea treatment, as separate repeating reminders.
Why walks slip
- Work meetings run over, and the walk moves later and later.
- Bad weather makes it easy to cut short.
- In a shared house, everyone assumes someone else did it.
Habits that help
- Same times every day. Dogs settle into it, and so do you.
- Track it as a habit. A streak makes skipping a walk feel like a bigger deal.
- Keep vet notes. Weight, food changes and the vet's advice as notes in Mindie.
How Mindie handles it
Send each walk as a daily reminder, or ask Mindie to track it as a habit. Reply "done" after the walk to keep the streak going, or "snooze 30 minutes" if a call runs long. Ask for your streak any time.
What Mindie doesn't do
- It doesn't book dog walkers or pet sitters.
- It doesn't track walks with GPS or connect to pet devices.
- It doesn't message anyone else. Reminders come to your own chat only.
Questions
Can I set more than one walk a day?
Yes. Set each walk as its own daily reminder, like 7am and 6pm.
Can I see how consistent the walks have been?
Yes. Track it as a habit and reply "done" after each walk. Mindie keeps the streak.
Can Mindie remind my dog walker?
No. Reminders come only to your own chat. Your walker would need to set their own.
Can I have different times on different days?
Yes. Set one reminder for weekdays and another for weekends, with the times that suit each.
Can I get a reminder for flea treatment too?
Yes. Add a repeating reminder on the gap your vet recommends, so all your dog's care is in one chat.
This page explains how to set the reminder with Mindie. It isn't financial, legal or medical advice; check dates and doses with the people who set them. Checked on 31 October 2026.
