The Waggle Co., a dog-walking service based out of Charlotte, has raised $750,000 in equity, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Founded in 2018, Waggle links dog owners with certified team members who are background checked, bonded, insured and trained in handling and pet safety. Waggle operates Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and sessions can range from 10 to 90 minutes.

Extras, such as feeding the dog, bringing in mail and watering plants, are of no extra charge.

Waggle currently only operates in the Charlotte area but plans to expand.

Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Meggie Williams is a UNC-Chapel Hill graduate and previously worked in corporate New York City where she started a Manhattan-based dog walking business before moving back to Charlotte.

Williams says she started the company after seeing a need in the market for a flexible, accommodating and client-focused service in the pet care industry.
