For dog walkers & pet sitters done being nickel-and-dimed
No per-active-staff fees. Ever.
Hire 10 sitters for the summer, pay the same flat price. Trotter is the mobile-first business OS for solo & small pet-care companies tired of paying our competitors $50 + $16 per seat just to schedule a walk.
One-time payment. Stripe-secured. Built by a sitter's tech friend, not a VC.
One tap, one pin, done

Offline-first
Stairwells. Canyons. Basements.

The Problem
The three things every customer of our competitors says out loud
Pulled from public review sites. We didn't soften them.
“Cost for additional users was high at $15/mo per person. The platform doesn't have enough features to justify those costs.”

Trotter
Flat price. Add seats free. Forever.
“My sitters fight the app constantly. Half the visit reports get sent twice because the mobile screen is laid out for a desktop.”

Trotter
Mobile-native check-in. One tap, one pin, done.
“If my walker loses signal in a stairwell the whole visit disappears. I find out Sunday night when a client asks where the photos are.”

What we built
Five features. Built by someone who's read every one-star review of our competitors.
No QuickBooks integration. No GPS breadcrumb polylines. No daycare module. No AI gimmicks. On purpose.
Mobile-first sitter check-in
One tap to start a visit, one tap to end. Photo, note, single GPS pin. No breadcrumb trail draining your sitter's battery on a 90-minute hike.
Offline-first by default
Sitter walks into a basement, a canyon, a stairwell — the app keeps logging. Syncs the second a bar comes back. No 'lost visit' emails Sunday night.
Client portal that doesn't look like 2012
Clients book, approve, tip, and read visit reports on their phone. No PDF attachments. No 'please log into the desktop site.'
Scheduling that respects a solo owner
Drag-to-assign. Recurring visits. Conflict detection. No 14-tab onboarding video just to schedule a Tuesday walk.
Invoicing + Stripe, flat-priced
Send invoices, take cards, export a CSV for your bookkeeper. We are not your payroll system. We are not your CRM. We are the OS for the walk.
What we don't build is the point
Read the non-goals. They're a feature, not an oversight.
