Your business is not a regular dog walking business.
Adventure dog hiking companies manage recurring dogs, multiple drivers, pickup routes, drop-off routes, schedule changes, customer texts, and billing periods — often across spreadsheets, group chats, and memory.
PackRoute helps you run schedules, routes, drivers, customer SMS updates, skip requests, and billing prep from one simple platform — so you spend less time coordinating and more time on the trail.
How it works
One platform. Three simple roles.
Office
Set routes, assign dogs, approve SMS requests, manage schedules, and prepare billing.
Driver
Open Today on their phone, follow their route, and tap simple status updates.
Customer
Gets texts. No app. No login. Can text simple requests like SKIP TOMORROW or HELP.
Features
Less admin. More adventure
Less texting. More trail time. Everything your office and drivers need — without the chaos.
Automated SMS updates
Night-before reminders, ETA texts, pickup confirmations, and drop-off updates.
Driver app that drivers actually use
Mobile web, simple Today view, status updates, and a GPS-aware workflow.
Schedule changes by text
Customers text plain English requests. Admin approves before anything changes.
Routes and stops, your way
Drag-and-drop route ordering, today/tomorrow overrides, and multiple drivers.
Billing built in
Track completed hikes by date range and export CSV for QuickBooks or manual invoicing.
Human in the loop
Nothing changes on a route until the office approves it.
Customer SMS
Updates customers actually want — by text.
Customers never need an account. They get useful updates by text and can reply with simple schedule requests.
Every schedule change is reviewed by your team before it takes effect. No accidental skips.
