Replace manual work with intelligent automation that runs 24/7.
Meet-and-Greet Enforcement
New clients automatically book a free meet-and-greet before any paid walk—the system blocks paid bookings until the meeting completes, preventing liability surprises.
Recurring Route Automation
Weekday clients lock in Monday-Friday midday slots that auto-schedule for the entire month with the same neighborhood grouping for route efficiency.
Pre-Walk Reminders

Vacation Pet-Sit Blocks
Multi-day pet sits automatically block conflicting walk slots so you cannot accidentally double-book during a client's vacation.
