Google Pay accepted for San Marcos Dog Walking & Pet Sitting Services

It has been coming for a while now but I am happy to announce I am moving away from checks and accepting electronic payments such as Google Wallet.

Update: As of January 2018, Google Wallet is now known as Google Pay or GPay

Why Google Wallet aka Google Pay?

So many people have a Google account so it seemed to make sense to use something people are already familiar with.

Do I see your banking info?

No, I don’t. I only get a message like this. —->
