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 device, 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:
- Live (map access only)
- Discover
- Activity
- Rank
- Your pet's profile, including pictures
- From the pet profile, they can access the settings menu (by tapping the three stacked lines on the top right), and will have access to:
- Collars (limited functionality)
- WiFi Networks (limited functionality, can add/edit, but not delete)
- Account Settings for user
- Share Fi
- Help Center
- Sign Out
- From the pet profile, they can access the settings menu (by tapping the three stacked lines on the top right), and will have access to:
