You may not have the time to walk you pooch when he needs it, but it doesn't mean that you won't make the time to worry about whether or not you hired help is doing it properly. Pet Check technology has been developed with the best interests in mind for responsible dog walkers and concerned puppy owners alike.
Initially, the system targets people who plan to begin dog walking businesses or enhance their existing enterprises. The mongrel minder can juggle clients, schedules, routes and billing between a smartphone application and the internet. When a lap around the block begins, the walker scans the animal's unique QR code which initiates tracking the time and the location of the canine and its guide, allowing the owner to access realtime Pet Check GPS data online and even watch the trajectory on a map.
