Pet sitter app

Between six houses, with six sets of instructions.

A sitting round is a memory test that nobody should be taking. The app carries the instructions to each door, records the visit as it happens, and sends the owner the reassurance they are actually paying for.

  • The day’s visits in order, with the access notes on the card
  • Feeding, water, litter, medication and photos in one tap each
  • A visit report sent when you finish, not typed up at ten o’clock
  • Works with no signal — thick walls and rural lanes included

a finished cat visit — 26 minutes for Sarah Whitfield, the wee, water and poo logged with times, and the sitter's own note
The problem

Every house is different, and the differences are the job.

Half a pouch here, a full one there. The tabby who needs her tablet in food and the one who spits it out. The alarm code, the sticky back door, the neighbour who has the spare key. It is all carried in your head between houses, and it is all fine until you are covering someone else’s round or doing six visits in an afternoon in the rain.

The kitchen note

Written by the owner, on paper, and different from what they told you on the phone.

Six variations

Which is precisely the number at which people start getting them mixed up.

And no reception

Inside a stone cottage, which is where the instructions were.

Baxter's record — what the owner says about the lead and recall, the walker's own note, the emergency and vet numbers, “No allergies recorded”, and a locked “Not shared” medications card
At the door

The instructions arrive with you.

  • Access and entry instructions on the job card
  • Feeding instructions in their own field, not buried in a note
  • Emergency contact and vet one tap away
  • Each animal’s own handling and medication detail
  • Health information where the owner shared it — and clearly locked where they did not
During

Record it while you are doing it.

Not afterwards, from memory, in the car. Each tap is timestamped as it happens, and none of it needs a connection.

  • Fed, water, litter, medication, photo, note
  • The right animal in a multi-pet household
  • A visit records no route, because there isn’t one
  • The queue holds everything until you are back in signal
a finished walk showing the owner's report was sent, with a “Send it again” button — and “Nothing was logged on this one” stated plainly
After

The owner hears from you before you have started the car.

  • A written report from what you logged, with the photos
  • Delivery status, so you know it arrived
  • Messaging if they want to ask something
  • Every visit becomes a billable line for month end
  • A fortnight of twice-daily visits invoiced in one go

Straight about what it does not do

Dogs and cats are supported. There is no key register, no route planning between houses, and overnight house-sitting is recorded as a run of visits rather than as a stay with its own shape. This is a professional app, separate from the free CorePaw app your clients use.

FAQ

Questions walkers and sitters actually ask

Does it work for pet sitters as well as dog walkers?

Yes. A job can be a route-tracked walk or a drop-in visit with no route at all, and the app uses the right word for it — a cat has a visit, not a walk. Sitters log feeding, litter, water, medication, photos and notes, and the owner gets the same written report a walk produces.

Can I record a home visit with no route?

Yes. A drop-in is a job in its own right: arrive, log the feed, the litter, the water, the medication, a photo and a note, finish. There is no route to record and nothing pretends there was one.

What happens when there is no signal?

The walk carries on. Everything you tap is written to your phone first and reported as done, because it is done — the queue empties itself when you come back into range. The one exception is invoicing, which needs a connection and says so, because invoice numbers are issued centrally and in order.

What care information can I see about a pet?

Whatever the owner has granted, plus everything you record yourself. Handling notes — recall, off lead, sociability, nervousness — sit with the pet and are visible to any carer the owner has shared it with, because they are safety information. Health details such as allergies and medication are separate, and only appear if the owner has shared them.

Is CorePaw Pro available on iOS and Android?

It is built for both — one app, released as its own iOS and Android listing. You can download it from the store links on this page.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 30 days with every feature switched on. Thirty days rather than the usual fourteen is deliberate: a walker's value lands twice, once on the first walk report and again at month end when the invoicing run saves an evening. A shorter trial ends before the second one arrives.

Take it on one afternoon round.

Four houses is enough to tell whether carrying the instructions with you changes the job.
