How it works

Four steps from application to your first paid adventure.

1️⃣

Create an account

Sign up on the website or in the app — takes under a minute.

2️⃣

Apply below

Tell us about your experience, business setup and availability.

3️⃣

Personal interview & background check

A real human reads every application and we schedule a real interview — no auto-hiring, ever. Then a background check before approval.

4️⃣

Shadow hike, then you're live

A paid shadow hike with a current guide, then you start taking jobs on your own schedule.

Your office is the trail 📱

This is the app you'll run your business from — offers, navigation, earnings, all of it.

🥾 The Dingo guide app

Set your own rates and keep 100% of them. Take the jobs that fit, decline the rest, no penalty.

See offers, accept your rate — nearby jobs come to you, take what fits and decline anything, no penalty
Run every adventure — guided pickup, curated local trails and one-tap navigation from start to drop-off
Keep 100% of your rate — clients cover Dingo's platform fee, never you, and tips land straight in your pocket
You run your own business — set your own rates, choose your hours and stay fully independent

Level up as you walk 🎮

Dingo turns great work into a game. Every adventure earns XP, unlocks badges, and climbs the rank ladder — with weekly challenges that pay real bonuses on top of your rates. Your whole journey is always visible in the app and on your Apple Watch, so there's always something to look back on and something to chase.
