For pet sitters and dog walkers

Know if you can make it before you say yes.

StopSmith puts your pet-sitting visits and your personal calendar on one timeline, with the drive between every stop. When a new request comes in, you'll know if it fits your whole day, not just your work calendar.

Works with
  • Google Calendar
  • iCloud
  • Outlook
  • Any iCal link
  • Rover

A free spot on your calendar isn't always free.

  • Requests come in all day

    A new drop-in looks open on your calendar, but the walk before it ends across town.

  • Work and family in different places

    Your bookings don't know about the school run, and your family calendar doesn't know about your visits.

  • Short visits, lots of driving

    Thirty-minute drop-ins all over town mean the drive between them matters as much as the visits.

How StopSmith helps

  • Check a request before you say yes

    Enter the client's area and the times they asked for. Every date comes back Fits, Tight or Conflict, with the closest time that works.

  • Your whole day

    Visits, school runs and appointments from Google Calendar, iCloud or Outlook on one timeline, with the drive between each.

  • Regular walks on a weekly time

    Check a weekly walk for up to 12 weeks at once, and find one time that works on every date.

  • Room between visits

    Add 5, 10 or 15 minutes between stops for leashes, parking and a dog who won't come inside.

  • Directions in one tap

    Open the drive between any two stops in Google Maps or Apple Maps.

  • Works with Rover too

    Get bookings through Rover? Connect your Rover calendar as well. Pending requests are checked for you, and each client's address and notes, like gate codes, are kept in one place.

How it works

  1. Connect your calendars

    Connect Google Calendar, or any calendar with a subscription link, such as iCloud or Outlook. Use Rover too? Paste your Rover calendar link as well. StopSmith keeps them all up to date.

  2. Make sure every stop has an address

    Events that include a location are ready to go. For one that doesn't, add the address in StopSmith. Rover's calendar leaves addresses out, so Rover clients get an address book: add each one once.

  3. Check before you say yes

    Enter the place, dates and times, and every date comes back marked Fits, Tight or Conflict, with the reason. If you use Rover, pending requests are checked for you.

A clear answer for every date.

  • Fits 10 minutes or more to spare, after the drive and your own extra time between stops.
  • Tight You can make it, with under 10 minutes to spare.
  • Conflict It overlaps something, or you can't get there in time.

When a date doesn't work, StopSmith finds the closest time that does. For a repeating request, it looks for one time that works on every date, so you can offer your client a single answer.

Use Rover? Your bookings stay on Rover.

You don't need Rover to use StopSmith, but it works well with it. StopSmith only reads the calendar link Rover provides. It never changes your Rover bookings, and your messages, bookings and payments all stay in Rover. StopSmith is an independent tool and isn't affiliated with Rover.

Made for anyone who drives to their clients
