The most common questions on this topic. You'll find even more answers in the Help Center.

How do I optimise the order of my tour? Business
  1. Open More → Tours and pick a tour.
  2. Tap Optimize order. The app uses real driving times from Apple Maps, starts at your business address and ends at the last stop.
  3. You see before and after, with driving time and distance. Like the new order? Tap Apply.

The Map shows all stops numbered, and Start navigation opens Apple Maps to the next stop. You need internet, a business address and a street address for every customer.

How do I keep my mileage log? Business

Under More → Vehicles you add your cars with name, licence plate and number of dog spots. In the Mileage log you enter each trip with date, vehicle, distance and purpose. The app keeps the total of your business mileage for you.

How do I set up my business?

After installing, the app walks you through the essentials. You can change everything later:

  1. Open More → Business details, prices & templates and enter your name, address, tax ID and bank details. They appear on your invoices and contracts.
  2. In the same place, set your walk prices, the second-dog surcharge and your pick-up and drop-off service. Packages and subscriptions live under Online package booking.
  3. Check More → Settings → Notifications to make sure notifications are allowed. Otherwise no walk reminders will reach you.

Good to know: your business address is also the starting point when the app later works out the best order for your tours.
