Built for the route, not adapted to it
Generic field service tools make you fight for per dog pricing, skip rules, and gate codes. HoundStack starts there, because route-based dog service businesses run on routes, and carries it through the rest of the business: the invoice knows why a visit was skipped, the client portal shows the visit photos, and reports break revenue down by zone. Scooping yards and servicing waste stations are built in too.
Scheduling and routes
Recurring visits, zone pricing by postal prefix, a drag and drop dispatch board, and one click route optimization with real drive time math.
The field app
A My Day view built for the truck. A completion photo on every visit plus optional before, gate and issue photos, and safety hazards shown before the gate opens.
Billing and payments
Prepaid credits or postpaid invoices, autopay through your connected Stripe account at 2.9% + 30¢ a card, and billing rules that know why a visit was skipped.
Client portal
Clients pay invoices, update their card, and see visit history with photos, signing in with an emailed code.
Commercial and HOA
Per unit billing for communities, waste station service routes, and DNA compliance with chain of custody tracking.
Neighbors and referrals
Automatic review prompts, referral credits for both sides, and a canvassing map that works your clients’ streets. Client texts are coming soon.
Office insights
Churn risk scoring, suggested zone pricing, and a weekly business digest, worked out from your own numbers. Plus an in house AI receptionist that will book appointments by text (coming soon).
Reporting
Revenue, receivables aging, skip reasons and tech productivity, plus zone profitability, retention cohorts and churn drivers on Growth and up.
Everything in one place
The full feature tour, including inventory, roles, and franchise tools.
Have a look around
Demo account with sample data. The four panels under it are stylized recreations of the dispatch board, invoices, the AI receptionist (coming soon) and zone profitability. They are accurate to the real screens, and labelled as recreations rather than passed off as captures.
The unglamorous stuff is covered too
Named importers
Dedicated import tools for Sweep&Go, Jobber, Housecall Pro, Time To Pet, and GorillaDesk, each with a mapping preview and a dry run.
Franchise rollup (Enterprise)
Multi location accounts with automatic royalty billing and a franchisor dashboard across every location.
Scoped roles
Owner, office manager, dispatcher, and tech each get their own experience. Nobody wades through screens their job never touches.
Inventory tracking
Bags, deodorizer, and gear tracked per tech, with low stock alerts before someone runs out mid route.
Already running on something else?
There are named import tools for Sweep&Go, Jobber, Housecall Pro, Time To Pet, and GorillaDesk, plus a CSV importer for anything else. Every import shows you a field mapping preview and a dry run summary before a single record is written.

How does pricing work?
Each tier is a flat monthly price. Launch includes 1 person and covers teams up to 3; Growth includes 5 and covers teams up to 15; Scale includes 20 with no team-size cap. Each extra person is $15 a month, shown live in your billing dashboard. Moving up a tier also unlocks deeper tooling like advanced analytics, custom permissions, and franchise structure.
Who counts toward the included people?
Every enabled user on your account, in any role. Techs, dispatchers, and office staff all count the same way. Deactivate someone and their place is freed.
What happens after my 14 day trial?
Pick a plan before day 14 to keep going. If you don't, the account is locked until you choose a plan, and your data is kept for 30 days. The trial is purely time based, nothing you do inside it triggers a charge.

Built by someone who watched these businesses closely
"HoundStack started with looking hard at how route-based dog service businesses actually run their day, and at how many separate tools they juggle to do it. These businesses deserved one system that runs the whole operation, from the schedule to the route to the invoice, so I'm building it."

Writing for operators, not for algorithms
Writing routes that stop the circling
Route order is the biggest controllable cost in a scooping business. Here is how to build routes that hold up, from zone boundaries to the order you actually drive.
What separates a good tech from a great one
Speed is table stakes. The techs who grow a scooping business are the ones clients mention by name, and the habits behind that are trainable.
Handling the client whose yard was missed
The missed yard call is the most common complaint in this trade. A calm script, the proof to check first, and how to keep the same call from repeating.
