Built for the people who show up for dogs
HoundStack exists to make life easier for the people who show up every day to take care of dogs. That means the crews running the routes, and it also means the dogs waiting on a clean yard.
It started with looking closely at how route-based dog service businesses actually run their day to day. What we found was an industry whose software had not caught up with it. Tools charging for every user from the very first one, so the first hire means a bigger software bill. Pet waste features bolted onto platforms built for a dozen other trades, so per dog pricing, rain day billing, and gate codes all live in workarounds.
So HoundStack is built as the whole business system for route-based dog service businesses, starting with pet waste removal. Pricing stays predictable: your first teammates are included, and each one after is a flat $15 a month. The billing understands why a visit was skipped. The field app assumes a truck and a gate. None of that is adaptation. It is the starting point.
If that sounds like software made by people who paid attention, that is the whole intent. See what it does, check what it costs, or talk to us directly.
Who is building it
HoundStack is built by Brendan Schmidt, its founder. The paragraphs above are his reasons, not a marketing team's: he went looking at how route-based dog service businesses actually run a Tuesday, decided the software they were renting did not deserve them, and started building the one they should have had.
It is early, and that is on purpose too. If you run routes and something in the product fights you, tell him directly. That feedback is currently the product roadmap.
