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.

O

Office

Set routes, assign dogs, approve SMS requests, manage schedules, and prepare billing.

D

Driver

Open Today on their phone, follow their route, and tap simple status updates.

C

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.
