How We Use GPS Tracked Dog Walks and Time To Pet Report Cards to Elevate Pet Care
When you trust someone to care for your dog, communication and transparency matter just as much as the walk itself. Pet parents want to know that their dog was exercised safely, received personal attention, and enjoyed their time outdoors.
At Paige’s In-Home Pet Care, we are always looking for ways to improve the experience for both pets and their people. One of the ways we do this is by combining attentive, one-on-one care with smart technology. We use GPS tracked dog walks and digital report cards powered by the Time To Pet app to ensure every visit is clearly documented and easy to review.
Why Modern Dog Walking Requires More Than Just a Leash
Dog walking today is about more than checking a box. It is about consistency, trust, and peace of mind. Pet parents want reassurance that walks are completed fully and thoughtfully, not rushed or shortened.
Traditional dog walking often relied on verbal updates or brief messages. While well intentioned, those updates did not always provide a full picture of the visit. Using GPS tracking and detailed report cards allows us to give pet parents clear, reliable insight into their dog’s care.
How GPS Tracked Dog Walks Work
Every dog walk we complete is tracked using GPS through the Time To Pet app. This technology allows us to record the route, duration, and distance of each walk automatically.
For pet parents, this means:
You can see the exact route your dog walked
You know how long the walk lasted
You can feel confident your dog received their full scheduled service
GPS tracking adds accountability and reassurance, especially for clients who value routine and consistency.
What Is Time To Pet and Why We Use It
Time To Pet is a professional pet care management app designed specifically for pet sitting and dog walking businesses. We use it to manage scheduling, track visits, record GPS routes, and deliver detailed report cards directly to our clients.
Using Time To Pet allows us to:
Track GPS walks accurately and reliably
Submit report cards immediately after each visit
Upload photos from every walk
Keep all visit information organized in one place
Most importantly, it allows pet parents to easily view everything from their phone or computer without needing to follow up or ask for updates.
Detailed Report Cards After Every Walk
After each dog walk, clients receive a digital report card through Time To Pet. These report cards are designed to be clear, informative, and easy to read.
Each report card typically includes:
Walk start and end time
GPS route map
Distance covered
Potty updates
Notes about behavior and energy level
Any observations worth sharing
This helps pet parents stay informed about their dog’s day and notice patterns over time.
Why We Include Lots of Photos in Every Report Card
One of the most appreciated features of our service is the number of photos we include in each report card. We believe photos are just as important as written updates.
Photos allow pet parents to:
See their dog enjoying the walk
Feel reassured while away from home
Stay connected to their pet during the day
Trust that care was attentive and unhurried
Whether it is a happy smile, a sniff break, or a scenic moment on the route, photos bring the visit to life.
Technology That Supports Better Human Care
While we rely on Time To Pet for tracking and communication, technology never replaces the personal connection we build with each dog. Our walkers are attentive, trained, and genuinely invested in every pet they care for.
The app supports our care by:
Encouraging consistency and accountability
Helping us track routines and preferences
Making communication clear and timely
Documenting changes in behavior or mobility
This combination of thoughtful technology and compassionate care allows us to provide a higher standard of service.
Especially Helpful for Puppies and Senior Dogs
GPS tracking and detailed notes are particularly helpful for dogs who need closer monitoring.
For puppies, report cards help track:
Potty habits
Energy levels
Walk tolerance as they grow
For senior dogs, updates help monitor:
Walking pace
Mobility changes
Comfort and stamina
These insights can be helpful for pet parents and can also be shared with veterinarians if needed.
Peace of Mind for Busy Pet Parents
Many of our clients are working professionals or families with full schedules. Knowing that they will receive a detailed update after every walk removes uncertainty and stress.
Instead of wondering whether a walk happened or how it went, pet parents receive a clear summary with photos and GPS confirmation.
That peace of mind is one of the biggest reasons clients appreciate our approach.
Why Innovation Matters at Paige’s In-Home Pet Care
Using GPS tracked walks and Time To Pet report cards reflects our commitment to doing things the right way. Innovation in pet care is not about being flashy. It is about being reliable, transparent, and responsive to the needs of modern families.
We believe pet parents deserve clarity and trust, and pets deserve attentive care delivered with intention.
