A Time To Pet alternative for waste removal instead of pet sitting
Time To Pet is well loved software, but it is pet sitting software. If your trucks run scooping routes, you are borrowing a tool from an adjacent business, and the fit shows in the daily details.
Where Time To Pet is genuinely good
For pet sitting and dog walking companies, Time To Pet earns its reputation: strong client communication, visit report cards owners genuinely like, GPS tracked walks, and scheduling shaped around sitters visiting homes. In its own category it is a very good product.
Where it stops for this trade
Waste removal is route work, not visit work. Time To Pet has no route optimization for dense daily stop lists, no per dog waste pricing, no skip reason billing for rain days, and nothing for HOA waste stations or DNA compliance. HoundStack keeps the client friendly communication and builds the rest around the route.
The parts of HoundStack that close the gap
Scheduling and routes

The field app
See a My Day view built for a truck running 20 stops, offline included.
And the pricing model is different at the root: priced by operational complexity, with your first 3 teammates included on every plan and one more at $10 a month flat.
What the migration actually looks like
Time To Pet has a named, dedicated import tool in HoundStack. Four steps, and nothing is written to your account until you have seen a dry run summary.
