our story

    About Platypus

    Platypus is India's first certified dog-walking service. We train Guardians, GPS-track every walk, and run strict safety protocols — because walking a dog you love should not require a leap of faith.

    why we exist

    Be their human.

    Indian cities are busy. Dogs still need to move, sniff, meet the world, and get tired. The people who love them often can't make every single walk happen, every single day — and informal options rarely pass the only test that matters: would you trust this person alone with your dog?

    We built Platypus to be that person. A certified Guardian you recognise on sight, assigned to your dog on a schedule you control, with a live GPS trail you can open on your phone any time.

    We started in Mumbai in 2024. Today we serve 16 areas across the city and walk hundreds of dogs every week.

    what we stand for

    Three things we will not compromise

    Trained Guardians

    Every walker clears our in-house certification — safety, behaviour, first-aid, leash handling. No one walks your dog without it.

    Live GPS on every walk

    You see the route, pace, and location in real time. No guessing, no "I promise we walked them."

    Parent-focused process

    Trial walk, consistent Guardian, flexible plans, post-walk report card. Built around how Mumbai pet parents actually live.

    who's behind it

    Built by a pet parent, for pet parents

    Platypus is built by Sagar Sutaria. The company behind it is Third Planet Solutions Private Limited, registered in Mumbai. Every decision — from who we hire as a Guardian to how a walk gets priced — is made in the room where the dog lives.

    Our team is small on purpose. A close group of Guardians, trainers, and a support line you can actually reach.
