If your pup spends time with a dog walker, or caretaker, you can grant limited access to your Pup's Fi account by assigning Dog Walker privileges within the Fi App. This will allow your pup's Fi Collar to pair to their mobile, ensuring accurate walk tracking, and preserving battery.
A Dog Walker, will have access to all pups in your household.
By default, a Dog walker can access:
