Dog-lover, actress, and producer Olivia Munn has starred in and co-produced a new national television commercial to promote Wag!, the first on-demand dog walking app. Wag's mission is to make dog ownership easier and more accessible for everyone while improving the happiness and health of dogs everywhere. Wag! provides dog owners instant access to vetted and experienced Wag! dog walkers in their local community who can be summoned to walk their dog 24/7.

Ms. Munn chose to get involved with Wag!, both as an investor and Creative Strategist, as she felt a personal connection to the company's mission to improve the lives of dogs and dog owners. Ms. Munn has two adopted rescue dogs herself and has played an active role advocating for the well-being of animals.

"As an animal lover, I was inspired by Wag!'s mission to ensure dogs are kept healthy and happy, by providing support to busy dog owners who want to make sure their four-
legged friends get walked, loved and entertained while they're away. It's been amazing to see how Wag! has made both humans and dogs' lives better" said Olivia Munn, investor and Creative Strategist at Wag!.

"We are delighted to partner with Olivia Munn," said Josh Viner, CEO and Co-founder of Wag!. "Her creative input, and her passion for our goal - to give dog owners peace of mind that their dog will be walked by a safe and trusted walker - makes this a great partnership."

Viner was inspired to create Wag! after his own hesitancy to take on a pet, given his busy schedule as a tech entrepreneur in Los Angeles. He founded Wag! with the mission to make it easier for everyone to own a dog and provide the attention and care every pet needs.

With Wag!, busy dog owners can summon walkers with as little as 30 minutes notice. Walks are tracked by GPS in real time through the app. A "pup report" is delivered by the app at the end of each walk, including a picture/video of the pet, a map of the route taken, and full disclosure on exactly when and where the pet did its business.

Walks can last 30, or 60 minutes, with an additional charge of $5 per dog in the same household. Walkers are available 24/7.

Dog owners can get their first walk free when they download the Wag! app from the Apple Store or Google Play.

About Wag! Founded in January 2015, Wag! is an on-demand mobile app that gives dog owners more flexibility to manage everyday life without neglecting their dog's needs by giving instant access to experienced and trustworthy Wag! dog walkers in their local community they can book at their convenience. Walks can last 30, or 60 minutes, with an additional charge of $5 per dog in the same household. Walkers are available 24/7. Wag! walks are insured and bonded and every walker has passed a thorough vetting process before being invited to walk dogs on the platform. Wag! is a proud sponsor of Rescue Bank and donates proceeds from every Wag! walk to supply meals to shelter dogs nationwide.
